A recent blog post by Drupfan Software, authored by Joe Black, highlights why governments worldwide are increasingly choosing Drupal as their preferred content management system (CMS) for website development. With the need for robust security, scalability, and accessibility, governmental institutions require a platform that can handle high traffic, sensitive data, and diverse user roles. Drupal meets these demands, making it a top choice for public sector websites such as the official sites of the Mayor of London and the European Union.

The blog post emphasizes Drupal’s advanced security capabilities, including secure user permissions, two-factor authentication, regular security updates, and a secure database infrastructure that protects against threats such as SQL injection. Additionally, Drupal’s scalability allows for seamless data structure expansion and future functionality upgrades.

Moreover, Drupal's built-in multilingual support, offering over 100 languages, ensures inclusivity. Its accessibility features make it compliant with global standards like WCAG 2.1. With these capabilities, Drupal provides a reliable foundation for government websites to offer efficient public services online.
