The challenges
Public sector Drupal comes with significant obligations.
Government and public sector websites operate under a different set of rules. Accessibility is a legal requirement under the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations. Security must meet Cyber Essentials standards as a minimum. And the consequences of a data breach or outage are public — and reputational.
- Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations — WCAG 2.1 AA mandatory
- Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification requirements
- Data handling obligations under GDPR and UK GDPR
- Drupal end-of-life pressure on legacy D7 and D9 installations
- High public visibility — downtime is a reputational risk
- Complex stakeholder and governance reporting requirements
