Still on Drupal 7? HeroDevs Says the Clock Is Ticking

Data Securty, Cyber Security

A recent blog post from HeroDevs reflects on the 100-day milestone since Drupal 7 officially reached end-of-life on January 5, 2025. The post explores the critical risks and operational challenges now facing organizations still relying on the legacy platform—particularly in higher education and government sectors.

The blog outlines how the lack of ongoing security updates and support leaves Drupal 7 sites vulnerable to threats and non-compliance with standards like FedRAMP and PCI-DSS. It also notes Drupal’s widespread use in universities and government agencies, where stability, accessibility, and scalability are essential.

HeroDevs urges organizations to either migrate to modern Drupal versions or consider extended support solutions. Their own “Drupal 7 Never-Ending Support” service is presented as a temporary lifeline, offering continued security patches while migration plans are developed.

The post emphasizes that delaying action only increases risk, making this a pivotal moment for digital teams still on Drupal 7.
