## Technical Metadata

### Platform Overview
- The content management system is based on Drupal 10. Minor versions are intentionally not disclosed for security reasons.
- Hosting is provided on a Linux environment (Debian-based) with Apache 2.4, PHP 8.3 or higher, and MariaDB.
- The architecture follows a LAMP stack with Composer-based code management and clearly separated development, staging, and production environments.
- Access to the production environment is restricted to SSH and VPN connections only; no direct access via the web administration interface is possible.

### Core Components
- Authentication is handled through the Drupal Core login, optionally enhanced with two-factor authentication (TFA module) or single sign-on integration via SAML or OAuth2.
- Roles and permissions follow the principle of least privilege; editorial and administrative roles are strictly separated.
- Configuration management is locked in production, and all changes are deployed exclusively via Git and Drush.
- Only verified and actively maintained Core and Contrib modules are used; unmaintained or forked modules are strictly excluded.

### Development Environment
- Version control is managed with Git and a fixed Composer lock file.
- Sensitive information is stored in .env files located outside the web root and never committed to Git.
- Dependency security is continuously monitored through composer audit and GitHub Dependabot.
- Automated tests (PHPUnit, ESLint, etc.) are executed prior to each deployment.

### System Features
- Input validation is implemented via the Drupal Form API with built-in protection against XSS and CSRF attacks.
- Sessions are HTTPS-only, with cookies configured using SameSite and Secure flags.
- A Content Security Policy (CSP) defines allowed script and frame sources.
- User data handling is fully GDPR-compliant; scheduled Cron jobs perform regular anonymization and deletion tasks.
- System monitoring is ensured through Cron, Watchdog, and Syslog.
- Daily encrypted backups are created and stored offsite.
- Security and feature updates for both Core and Contrib modules are automatically applied via Composer.
- All configuration changes are logged using Config Inspector and Diff, ensuring complete traceability and auditability.
