Role-Based Access Control

All access is based on customizable roles and permissions. Roles are additive, letting you manage complex access and management permissions with ease. Want to get more specific? You can build granular permissions down to the field level. Whatever you need, you’re in control.

Advanced Security Features

Password policy and reset rules, IP whitelisting for access, audit log settings, and more security features allow you to meet any guidelines you need. This adaptable system is built with your security needs in mind, whatever they may be.

Secure by Design

Core-level abstractions and security checks ensure that the most common attack vectors are blocked by default. Custom code that follows best practices and relies on these core systems can maintain the same degree of protection.

Expert Security Team

The Drupal project has a 20+ person security team who handles confidential reports of security problems and reviews covered modules. Acquia layers additional security oversight and governance at the platform and support levels.

Module Security Coverage

Maintainers of community modules can opt into security coverage by the security team, who will respond to security problem reports. These community modules are clearly marked, making enhanced coverage unmistakable.

Many Eyes Means Bugs Can’t Hide

Open source software is as secure (often more secure) than proprietary software. Millions of developers view, evaluate, and contribute to Drupal, making it better and safer every day. It's why Drupal is trusted by the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI, and governments across the globe.

Steward Program and Risk Mitigation

In the event of a highly critical security update, the Drupal security team publishes a notification in advance to warn Acquia and other Drupal Steward participants. Acquia then implements a firewall rule to block the risk vector before the security vulnerability is publicly announced.
