Drupal is an open CMS, so you have to make sure that you are following few guidelines. I have created a presentation on 5 ways to breach-proof your Drupal platform. If you anything else to add, comment below. I would love to receive feedback.

1. 5 WAYS TO BREACH-PROOF
YOUR DRUPAL PLATFORM
Ashutosh Prasad

2. The threat of security breaches to digital
platforms is increasing whether it is :
● Corportate website

Solution: Use Drupal, one of the robust WCMS
platforms that is built grounds up with Security
and Performance in mind.

4. UPGRADE, UPGRADE AND
UPGRADE
The Key reasons to upgrade your platform are -
● Upgrading avoids unnecessary expenses
incurred owing to a security breach
● Using an outdated version of the platform
exposes it to security vulnerabilities
● An update will fix technical issues & bugs
● New and enhanced features and
functionalities can be added to the platform

5. STRONG USER MANAGEMENT -
A MUST
A security breach is an inside job rather than an
external hack. Keeping your website safe and
sound, therefore, requires strong internal user
management.
● Limiting account privileges
● Automated or prompt removal of accounts of
users who have left the organization

6. KNOW YOUR HOSTING PROVIDER
Some of the established players offering stable and
enterprise-grade hosting services are:
1. Pantheon
2. Acquia Cloud
3. Apache
For Drupal installations, it is always recommended to
look for a hosting provider that offers
1. Security-first Drupal hosting solution
2. All the server side security measure like SSL.

7. ENCRYPT SENSITIVE INFORMATION
We recommend implementing proper certificates that
help encrypt sensitive information.
1. Proper deployment of SSL certificates helps
2. protect your users,
3. protect you
4. help you gain customers trust
5. sell more.

8. TAKE BACKUP REGULARLY
1. Choose a provider that offers backup and
storage solutions to deal with critical situations
such as losing all the data in security breaches.
2. There are other vendors who provide Backup,
storage, and Recovery as managed services.
Note: The choice of vendor will depend upon the
criticality of your application and the restore
points demanded by your business.
