It's not your usual website. The term 'perfectionism' doesn't even come close. This well known certification authority has exceptional high standards as even a moderate security issue on their boiler plate website would instantly create ripples across the press and online business. In early 2011 the management decided to give Typo3 the boot and to replace it with a capable and particularly secure system that offers similar or better functionality without changing the basic design of the site. The project was conducted as a competitive bid with a mandatory deadline. It contains a couple of highly customized administration modules that had to be tailored and evaluated to fit an existing work flow. Apart from the initial web design everything had to be built from scratch. Also, the whole system had to pass internal pentests before going live. It is assumed that the website and server is constantly under attack - by professionals.
