Understanding the Risk

Older versions of Umbraco are no longer supported, which means they do not receive the latest security updates or fixes.

Over time, this can increase exposure to known vulnerabilities, especially as attacks become more automated and harder to detect. 

Many organisations are unaware of their current version, which makes it difficult to know whether any action is needed until an issue arises. 

Where Unsupported Platforms can Impact You

Running an unsupported CMS can affect more than just your website performance. It can introduce risks across several areas of your organisation. 

Security Exposure

Unsupported platforms are more vulnerable to unauthorised access and data breaches, particularly where known vulnerabilities are not patched.

Compliance Risk

Outdated systems can make it harder to meet regulatory requirements and may increase exposure to compliance issues.

Performance Issues

Older platforms can lead to slower load times, reduced reliability, and a poorer experience for users.
