Cybersecurity for Odoo Deployments

We harden, monitor, and secure Odoo environments across Odoo Online, Odoo.sh, and on‑premise. Our goal: resilient ERP with least‑privilege access, encrypted data, and rapid recovery.

Our Security Framework for Odoo

Five pillars that turn your ERP into a fortress — aligned to Australian best practices and Odoo’s architecture.

Identity & Access
  • SSO (OAuth/OIDC) and MFA where available
  • Role‑based access and record rules in Odoo
  • Principle of least privilege for users and API keys
  • Admin session hardening and IP allowlists
Application Hardening
  • Secure reverse proxy (Nginx) in front of Gunicorn
  • HTTPS everywhere (TLS 1.2+), HSTS, and CSP
  • Modules review, safe defaults, secure file uploads
  • Timely Odoo and module patching strategy
Data Protection
  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • PostgreSQL hardening and separate DB roles
  • Backup/restore drills, PITR, off‑site copies
  • Data retention and secure disposal policies
Network & Infrastructure
  • Private networking (VPC), security groups, least exposure
  • WAF and rate‑limiting at the edge
  • Secrets management for keys and credentials
  • Container/runtime hardening where applicable
Operations & Compliance
  • Centralized logging (Odoo + Nginx + OS)
  • SIEM alerts, anomaly and access monitoring
  • Change management and release governance
  • Alignment with privacy regulations

Security by Hosting Model

We secure Odoo regardless of where it runs. Controls vary by model.

Odoo Online (SaaS)
  • Managed hosting and upgrades by Odoo
  • We focus on access control, data governance
  • Secure integrations and API hygiene
  • Backup export procedures and retention
Odoo.sh
  • Git‑based CI/CD, staging & review apps
  • We enforce branch protections and code checks
  • Secrets management and environment policies
  • Automated backups and restore testing
On‑premise
  • Nginx + Gunicorn hardening and TLS
  • OS baseline, patching, EDR, and backups
  • PostgreSQL tuning, PITR, and isolation
  • Monitoring, alerting, and DR runbooks

Summary based on Odoo’s hosting options: Odoo Online, Odoo.sh, and on‑premise. We adapt controls to each model.

How We Enhance Odoo with Security

Security isn’t an add‑on — it’s baked into architecture, configuration, and daily operations.

Secure‑by‑Default Configuration
  • Strong password policy and 2FA/SSO where possible
  • Granular user groups, menu and field‑level security
  • Attachment sanitization and file size controls
  • Audit logs: access, changes, and integrations
Safe Integrations
  • Scoped API keys, token rotation, IP allowlisting
  • Webhook validation and down‑stream least privilege
  • Network segmentation for connectors and services
  • Vendor risk checks for third‑party apps
Continuous Monitoring
  • Log shipping to SIEM, alert tuning for brute‑force/anomalies
  • Uptime and performance SLOs with escalation paths
  • Automated vulnerability scans and patch cadence
  • Backups tested regularly with restore RTO/RPO targets
People & Process
  • Admin runbooks and incident response playbooks
  • User training for phishing and secure usage
  • Change control and segregation of duties
  • Periodic access reviews and recertification

Odoo Security Checklist (Starter)

  • MFA/SSO enabled for admins and remote access
  • HTTPS only with HSTS; TLS certificates auto‑renew
  • Restricted admin endpoints behind IP allowlists/VPN
  • Backups with off‑site copies and test restores
  • Timely updates for Odoo core, modules, OS, and DB
