Why safefive safefive offers Long Term Support (LTS) for Shopware 5!

Who is safefive suitable for?
What does safefive offer and who is behind it?

There are many good reasons to keep a store up-to-date and secure. One of them is: hackers rarely sleep and attacks on store systems have been increasing for years. The target of these attacks is the sensitive personal data of your customers stored in the store systems. These must be protected at all costs. Security patches close attack gaps.

The advantages of safefive

More time for your relaunch thanks to Long Term Support with safefive

You have more time to complete your relaunch or migration in peace because your store is protected in the best possible way during this time.

More time for your agency

Agencies only have limited resources. In order for them to do high-quality work and meet timelines, some projects can start later. In the waiting time you can protect your store optimally.

More time for Shopware and plugin providers

If you are waiting for some features that are currently missing from Shopware 6 to be implemented, you can use safefive to keep your Shopware 5 store running safely until then.

PCI/DSS

PCI/DSS is a standard designed to prevent fraud in credit card payments. One component of this standard is that the software is always kept up to date and current without delay.

Hacker attacks are on the rise

According to the BSI, cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated and are rising in number. https://www.bsi.bund.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/BSI/Publikationen/Lageberichte/Lagebericht2020.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=2

The end of PHP and MySQL versions

The PHP programming language used by Shopware 5 also has life cycles https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php. For example, official support for PHP version 7.3 already ended and support for PHP 7.4 will also end in November 2022, so it is important to support new PHP versions.

We founded safefive because we have been living in the eCommerce universe for so long and security is just something we’re good at.
