Wagtail is a Django CMS, so hardening follows Django production controls plus admin and editor governance.
¶ 1) Protect secrets and administrative access
- protect Django SECRET_KEY, set strict ALLOWED_HOSTS, and disable debug
- enforce CSRF and secure cookie settings in production
¶ 2) Control extensions and update cadence
- restrict Wagtail admin to trusted users and apply least privilege groups
- patch Wagtail and Django dependencies quickly
¶ 3) Harden runtime and deployment perimeter
- secure media and file uploads and validate rich-text and embed sources
- place app behind hardened reverse proxy with TLS
