As of January 5, 2025, Drupal 7 will no longer be supported. If you’re not ready to move away from Drupal 7, there’s no reason to panic! Attico International offers Drupal 7 extended support services to keep your site secure, compatible, and compliant for as long as you need.
With the official end of life for Drupal 7 coming soon, many businesses are considering migrating from Drupal 7 to Drupal 11. However, migration is not always possible, for some of the reasons explained below.
At Attico, we respect your choice to stay on Drupal 7 for any reason and offer our assistance by providing never-ending support for your website.
After the end-of-life date, the Drupal Security Team will no longer provide support for Drupal 7 core, contributed modules, and themes, which entails security risks and other complications. We offer our clients several ways to solve this problem:
The Drupal 7 end of life means the termination of releasing security patches that are fixing vulnerabilities in the system. We provide extended security support to keep your site protected against various threats, including malware, SQL injection, and DDoS attacks.
To make sure that the existing community of Drupal 7 site owners is not left behind, the Drupal Soft Landing Initiative is planned to be launched. This initiative aims to create resources and tools to assist business owners willing to stay on Drupal 7 to prepare for what comes next.
Staying abreast of all developments within this initiative, we’ll help you promptly obtain and implement Drupal 7 updates, updates for popular modules, and security patches to address vulnerabilities.
We believe that quality, security, and performance should be built into the product from the very beginning — not added later in the development cycle. That is why our work is guided by a Shift-Left mindset across all project activities, from initial discovery and architecture planning to development, testing, and deployment.
By identifying risks, validating requirements, and aligning teams early, we prevent costly rework and ensure that every stage of delivery contributes to a stable, scalable, and secure solution.
Alternatively, we provide customers with the option to migrate to Backdrop CMS, a fork of Drupal that retains architecture similar to Drupal 7 while introducing significant new features like configuration manager.
Backdrop has a built-in upgrade path from Drupal 7, allowing us to migrate your site to it seamlessly and cost-effectively.
If you choose to migrate to Drupal 11, it’s essential to maintain your Drupal 7 site both before and during migration to ensure a smooth transition. Attico will take care of this, no matter who your migration contractor is.
Having a wealth of experience in Drupal 7 to 11 migration, we’ll seamlessly transfer your website to Drupal 11 while providing Drupal 7 support in the meantime to avoid interruptions in your website’s operation.
We effectively collaborate with external teams and can ensure the proper functioning of Drupal 7 while it’s being migrated. We’ll also help ensure that users, functionality, content, and SEO are transferred correctly.
Ready to migrate but don’t know where to start?
Our team will provide guidance and assistance in creating a plan for supporting Drupal 7 until the switch to Drupal 11, moving content, users, media, and data, replicating the functionality of your current site, migrating an existing theme or creating a new one, SEO migration to Drupal 11.
Yes, your current website will remain online. However, you will no longer be able to enjoy necessary security updates and patches.
The hidden cost of an outdated CMS is higher security risks, slower performance, limited functionality, and increased maintenance expenses.
