SuiteCRM runs on PHP/MySQL and is typically internet-facing for distributed sales teams. Security should prioritize patch cadence, role boundaries, and API/auth endpoint protection.
¶ 1) Enforce role-based access and team security
- configure roles and team security so users only access assigned accounts/opportunities
- restrict admin and developer roles to minimal trusted staff
- review access-control changes and admin logins on a schedule
¶ 2) Patch core and extensions quickly
- apply SuiteCRM core security updates promptly after release
- remove abandoned modules and custom code not actively maintained
- test extension compatibility in staging before production rollout
- enforce HTTPS and secure session cookies; disable insecure legacy TLS
- apply reverse-proxy rate limiting for login and REST API endpoints
- protect .env/config files and DB credentials with strict filesystem permissions
