Security

Engineered so a misclick can't take down production.

Security at DMS Panel isn't a single feature you can point to. It's a constraint that shapes the database tooling, the login flow, and the platform's own admin layer.

A real, layered security suite, per server

Most panels stop at a firewall toggle. DMS Panel runs eight distinct, industry-standard security tools per server, configurable individually, with a scored dashboard so you can see your actual security posture at a glance.

78Score

System Warning Mode

SSH root login enabled & firewall logs unchecked.

sec-audit: production-main
Ready to run security checks.
Click "Run Audit" to scan 8 integrated layers.

ClamAV

Antivirus scanning, including upload-time scanning of files as they land on the server.

YARA

Pattern-based malware and threat detection rules.

rkhunter

Rootkit hunter — scans for known rootkit signatures.

chkrootkit

A second, independent rootkit detection pass.

AIDE

File integrity monitoring — flags unexpected changes to system files.

Lynis

Full system security auditing with a scored report.

UFW

Uncomplicated firewall, managed per server from the panel.

Fail2ban

Automatic banning of IPs behind repeated malicious login attempts.

All eight run on a schedule you control, with historical scan reports, a security score and a dedicated security log so nothing gets buried.

Login protection that's on by default

Second factor isn't optional. Sessions are auditable. Failed attempts get locked out.

Mandatory OTP / TOTP

Email OTP or an authenticator app on every sign-in — not a buried settings toggle.

Always on

Trust this device

Optional 24-hour device trust so OTP isn't demanded on every login from a known machine.

Lockout & IP block

Automatic lockout after repeated failures, plus IP-based login blocking.

Session audit

Full login history with “sign out my other device” if a session looks wrong.

Encrypted secrets

SSH credentials encrypted at rest. Never rendered as plaintext in the UI.

AES-256-GCM

The safe database-kill design

Every hosting panel eventually needs to kill a stuck query or a runaway connection. Most make that a single careless click away from an outage. DMS Panel's Database Healthview was built specifically so that can't happen by accident.

  • Live activity monitor across MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MSSQL and Redis — see active connections, processes and running queries in real time, per engine.
  • Kill a single stuck session safely, or use checkbox-based bulk selection to review exactly what you're about to terminate.
  • A distinct, separate action for "kill selected" versus "kill all" — the two are never one accidental click apart.
  • Every destructive action is confirmation-gated and engine-safe by design, whether it targets one query or the whole engine.

The Super Admin restriction boundary

Platform staff need enough visibility to support customers and run the business, and nothing beyond that. DMS Panel enforces that line in code, not in a policy document nobody reads, and logs every Super Admin action that crosses it.

Super Admin can see

  • Servers, sites and billing status across every customer account
  • Mail delivery logs
  • Support tickets, referrals and announcements
  • Platform-wide audit log of administrative actions

Super Admin can never

  • Open an SSH or terminal session to any customer server
  • Read a customer's site source files or Git repositories
  • View decrypted SSH keys or mailbox passwords
  • See full payment card details, or impersonate an account

Every restriction above is enforced in code. Every Super Admin action is itself audit-logged.

Technical credibility

Fail-safe by design, not by accident.

Safety isn't a checkbox here. It's the architecture.
