Still on Drupal 7? Here's what you need to do

The reality of running Drupal 7 in 2026

January 2025 was the official EOL for Drupal 7, your site might be running without security updates. What this means is:

Your site could be vulnerable for hackers & bots
Unsupported software can trigger failures that may go undetected and cost revenue
"No security" can trigger immediate compliance failure under the GDPR article 32, this is especially bad for public sector, education & enterprise, companies with ISO-27001 and Cyber Essentials certification.

We specialise in keeping Drupal 7 estates safe and secure, as well as migrating to newer and more fabulous versions of Drupal. We have a selection of products and services below and find out exactly how we can help you. Full Fat Things are one of the world's biggest contributors to Drupal. We make a lot of Drupal rather than just build things on top of it. Our knowledge of these systems in unparalleled.
