HeroDevs Issues Update on Drupal 7 Sites After End-of-Life

HeroDevs has issued an update on the state of Drupal 7 sites, more than two months after the platform reached its end-of-life on January 5, 2025. Despite the end of official support and security updates, many organizations—including businesses and government agencies—are still running critical websites on Drupal 7.

The continued use of an unsupported CMS brings growing risks. Without community-maintained security patches, these sites are exposed to vulnerabilities and may fall out of compliance with standards like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and FedRAMP. Contributed modules are also no longer supported, further increasing potential security gaps.

For organizations still on Drupal 7, the main options include migrating to Drupal 10, applying risk-reduction measures, or securing extended support. While migration is the long-term solution, it often requires significant time and resources. Risk-mitigation efforts—such as restricting access or disabling features—offer only limited protection.

To bridge this gap, HeroDevs provides Drupal 7 Never-Ending Support (NES). This service delivers ongoing security updates, helping organizations stay secure and compliant while planning their migration on their own schedule.

The update was published by HeroDevs on Drupal.org, where they continue to support the Drupal community with solutions like NES.
