With V13 End-of-Life approaching, the time to upgrade is now.

Written by Head of Delivery, Kas., Head of Development, Imran and Project Manager, Subhrata.

Together they've planned and delivered more Umbraco upgrades than we can count, for professional services firms, charities, banks and membership bodies. 👌

Here's a sneak preview of what's inside.

Huge congratulations to UmbracoUmbraco on securing ISO 27001 certification 🎉

ISO 27001 is the "crème de la crème" of information security 🤌, meaning Umbraco's security practices are audited, documented, and on par with enterprise platforms like Sitecore DXP and Contentful.

Today's news doesn't surprise us. 👀

Umbraco has been delivering open-source flexibility with enterprise-level experiences for a long time, and ISO 27001 is part of this journey.

(You can read Umbraco's official announcement in the comments.)

Cogworks designs and builds Umbraco websites every day.

But Umbraco enterprise development is only part of the story.

Having worked with Umbraco since 2008, the focus has always been on helping the platform (and the ecosystem around it) stay healthy, performant, and future-ready.

How do we show up beyond delivery?

1. Open-source packages used by leading brands

Cogworks builds and maintains free, open-source Umbraco packages that extend the platform without changing its core. These packages are used in production by organisations including Prostate Cancer UK and Russell-Cooke Solicitors, with hundreds of thousands of downloads across Umbraco versions.

2. Flagship package: CogFlare

CogFlare optimises how Umbraco interacts with Cloudflare by clearing the cache only when content has actually changed. In live client environments, this has delivered:

🚀Up to 90% reduction in server load
🚀Faster page delivery via cached content
💰Lower hosting costs and reduced energy use

3. Reusable enterprise search integrations

The Azure Search Umbraco package grew out of repeated enterprise needs for search implementations that were complex or inconsistent. By turning this into a reusable, open solution, search becomes easier to implement, simpler to maintain, and more scalable as Umbraco and Azure evolve.

4. Active involvement in Umbraco events

Cogworks regularly sponsors, attends, and speaks at Umbraco events, like Umbraco in the City and Umbraco Spark Bristol. These events help share real-world experience, strengthen relationships across the community, and keep standards moving forward.

5. Contribution to Umbraco sustainability initiatives

Cogworks contributes to the Umbraco Community Sustainability Team by sharing practical insights from live platforms. The focus is on achievable sustainability through performance optimisation, efficient hosting, and scalable infrastructure (work that feeds directly back into both the ecosystem and client delivery).

Good platforms don't stay good by accident.

They stay good because people invest in them for the long term.

That's how Cogworks has always worked with Umbraco. ❤️
