TYPO3
A democratic open-source project with solid governance, backed by a not-for-profit member
TYPO3 is an open-source content management system developed by a volunteer community supported by a not-for-profit member association and a fully-owned service company. The TYPO3 Association guides, coordinates, and funds long-term development of the CMS, while the TYPO3 Company provides support and services to the ecosystem. The project follows a democratic governance structure with consensus-driven, long-term-oriented decisions.
The CMS includes security features such as user roles with defined permissions, regular Core updates, staging support for testing, security bulletins for Core and extension updates, CVE scores, a Bug Bounty Program, and ELTS (extended long-term support). The TYPO3 Company offers SLAs, third-party project reviews, mediation, partner connections, certifications, training programs, and code sprints. The project maintains an open-source, community-oriented security process.
TYPO3 is aimed at organizations, developers, marketers, and editors working with the CMS, as well as agencies and freelancers in its partner ecosystem. Membership in the TYPO3 Association provides participation in decision-making processes and the annual General Assembly. Commercial offerings include SLAs and ELTS, though specific packaging details such as plans or seat-based pricing are not specified on these pages.
