Sentrifugo is an older PHP HRMS platform with limited recent upstream activity. The main security risk is outdated dependencies and legacy runtime assumptions.
- Isolate deployment on a dedicated host or VM segment.
- Avoid exposing admin paths directly to the public internet.
- Use reverse proxy with strict HTTPS and security headers.
- Restrict database/network access to private interfaces only.
- Use a supported PHP/runtime combination with tested compatibility.
- Disable dangerous PHP functions where business logic allows.
- Enforce file upload restrictions and scan uploaded documents.
- Validate Apache/Nginx rewrite and directory protections carefully.
- Add WAF and rate limiting for login and form endpoints.
- Use strong password policy and optional VPN-only admin access.
- Audit logs frequently for suspicious access patterns.
- Maintain tested encrypted backups and a migration plan to a maintained HRMS.
