Mantenimiento Drupal: actualizaciones de seguridad y evolutivos

Drupal es un CMS (¡tan potente como un framework!) basado en componentes: módulos (gestionados por Composer), plantillas y diferentes librerías (de PHP o JavaScript.) que se montan en torno a un core o núcleo: Drupal. Dichos componentes son susceptibles de mejoras tanto funcionales como correcciones de seguridad y fallos.

Realizamos actualizaciones y mantenimientos semanales, reduciendo el riesgo al integrar las mejoras paulatinamente.

Why Drupal Maintenance Matters

A Drupal website is a powerful investment, but even the best site becomes vulnerable without proper maintenance. Regular updates and expert care are essential to keep your website secure, high-performing, and aligned with your organization’s goals. 

Outsourcing your Drupal maintenance lets your team focus on growth while Drupal specialists handle every detail of updates, security, and evolution.

Drupal Maintenance Services

We cover every aspect of Drupal maintenance so you can focus on your business:

Preventive Maintenance

Stay ahead of problems and protect your site.

We apply proactive security patches, routine code updates, and system compatibility checks to catch issues before they impact your site. You get fewer interruptions, less risk, and peace of mind knowing your platform is always protected.

Corrective Maintenance

If something breaks, we fix it fast.

Bugs, errors, and site outages can cost time and revenue. Our team acts quickly to resolve incidents, backed by clear SLAs and hands-on support. You get fast answers, clear communication, and minimal downtime—without chasing anyone for help.

Evolutive Maintenance

Your business grows, your site should too.

Whether you're adding features, improving performance, or planning a redesign, we evolve your Drupal site to match your goals. With strategic guidance and technical upgrades, we help you stay competitive and future-ready without rebuilding from scratch.

Actualizaciones de seguridad

Drupal cuenta con un equipo de seguridad dedicado que verifica y corrige junto con los mantenedores de los diferentes módulos y el Core las posibles vulnerabilidades que se detectan. Una vez realizada la corrección, se publica una nueva versión del software.

La publicación incluye los casos en los que el código es vulnerable (la posible brecha de seguridad). Metadrop analizará el impacto y las aplicará en el proyecto en la mayor brevedad acorde a la urgencia.

Nuestra metodología nos permite actuar rápidamente y realizar un paso a producción de urgencia en caso necesario.

  • Will my Drupal site be managed by real experts?
    Yes — your site is managed by senior, in-house Drupal specialists with 15+ years’ experience, 100+ contributed modules, and hundreds of open-source credits. Our team actively participates in the Drupal community and follows best practices.
  • How do you ensure my site always gets the latest security and code updates?
    Preventive maintenance is at the heart of our service. We schedule and apply Drupal security updates, core and module patches, and compatibility changes as soon as they are released. You’ll never have to chase us for updates — we keep your site secure, compliant, and performing optimally, always.
  • Will I know what’s happening with my site and maintenance requests?
    Absolutely. We provide transparent, detailed monthly reports, and you’ll receive real-time notifications for incidents or risks. Every maintenance request or incident is tracked and communicated with clear status updates, next actions, and completion confirmation. We believe in proactive, honest communication at all times.
  • How fast do you respond to critical issues, even outside standard hours?
    We offer industry-leading response times for urgent issues: critical incidents are acknowledged within 1 working hour and resolved within 3 working hours (within your contracted SLA). For clients with extended coverage, we provide rapid response even during evenings, weekends, and holidays. Our proactive monitoring and alerting systems mean you’re covered before you even notice a problem.
  • Are there hidden costs or unexpected charges?
    No surprises. Our plans include clearly defined deliverables and pricing, with optional add-ons for out-of-scope work. Emergency interventions and evolutionary (evolutive) changes are quoted up front, so you’re always in control of your budget. Transparent contracts and predictable billing are standard.
  • Can I customize the maintenance plan and SLA to fit my business?
    Of course. We offer flexible service agreements, from essential coverage to premium, multi-site, or enterprise SLAs. Choose only what you need, with the option to scale or adapt as your business evolves — no rigid, one-size-fits-all contracts.
  • How do you handle documentation and knowledge transfer?
    All maintenance activities, customizations, and processes are fully documented and accessible. If you ever need to onboard new team members or transition providers, you’ll have comprehensive, up-to-date site documentation for a smooth handover.
  • What security practices do you use to protect my website?
    We apply security best practices certified by ENS, GDPR, and international standards. Automated and manual vulnerability scanning, regular code reviews, and rapid patching are all included. Our monitoring tools alert us to threats in real time, so risks are handled immediately.
  • Will you help my site evolve, or only fix bugs?
    We go beyond bug-fixing. Our evolutive maintenance plans cover continuous improvement: adding new features, optimizing performance, improving UX/UI, and adapting to your business needs. Your website will not stagnate; it will grow with you.
  • How can I measure the value and ROI of your maintenance service?
    Our monthly reports detail every action taken, risks mitigated, incidents resolved, and improvements made — so you can see the tangible business value and impact of our work. We also advise on best practices and opportunities to maximize your ROI.
  • Can I expect clear communication and minimal barriers?
    Yes. All our team members are based in Spain, speak English fluently, and operate in your time zone. You’ll have direct contact with your project manager and dedicated support staff for consistent, effective communication.
  • How do you ensure continuity and consistency if staff change?
    Our robust internal documentation and processes guarantee that no knowledge is lost if there’s staff turnover. Your site remains in safe, expert hands at all times.
