Mautic handles contacts, tracking data, forms, and automation workflows. Hardening should focus on patch cadence, plugin governance, and strict control of tracking endpoints and API keys.
¶ 1) Keep Mautic patched and dependency-safe
- Track Mautic release/security updates and apply promptly.
- Keep PHP, Composer dependencies, and queue workers updated.
- Test plugin compatibility in staging before production upgrades.
- Remove unused plugins and integrations to reduce attack surface.
- Restrict API credentials and rotate integration keys regularly.
- Lock down forms and landing pages against spam/abuse (captcha/rate limits).
- Restrict contact export and segment management privileges.
- Audit changes to campaigns, segments, and webhook integrations.
¶ 3) Secure tracking and email pipeline
- Enforce HTTPS for tracking pixel and form endpoints.
- Use authenticated SMTP with domain alignment (SPF/DKIM/DMARC).
- Protect webhook callbacks with shared secrets and allowed-origin checks.
- Monitor send anomalies and complaint/bounce spikes.
