Overcoming The Challenges of Achieving Cyber Accreditation
Go beyond Zero Trust with NeverTrust™
Remove the software compatibility and cyber security challenges when transitioning to the latest Windows operating system
Maintaining application and operating system compliance is a persistent challenge for CISOs
Many organisations still depend on mission-critical applications built for outdated, unsupported platforms such as WinXP, Win7, Server 2008, and Server 2012, which often interact with equally old databases, creating significant vulnerabilities within your enterprise environment.
For many, upgrading these applications is not feasible, either due to the absence of a modern replacement or the cost of redeveloping the application. As a result, these legacy applications represent a serious security risk, undermining your organisation’s cyber resilience and blocking the achievement of key cyber accreditations such as Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, NIS2, DORA or CAF. This exposure can lead to audit failures, non-compliance penalties, and reputational damage.
Why Choose Droplet NeverTrust™ for Windows Upgrades?
Seamless Legacy Application Support:
Droplet allows legacy Windows applications to run natively inside an isolated NeverTrust™ container on newer modern operating systems and cloud platforms such as Windows 11, or Server 2022, with recoding or refactoring.
Simplified Compliance:
Maintaining unsupported operating systems complicates audits and regulatory compliance. Droplet NeverTrust™ meets the latest compliance standards by running legacy apps in a secure, isolated container, away from the network and above the operating system.
Cost-Efficient Modernisation:
Avoid the high costs and disruption associated with rewriting legacy or upgrading software. Droplet NeverTrust™ eliminates the need for expensive re-coding or risky migrations by enabling continued use of existing business-critical applications.
Future-Proof Application Lifecycle:
Droplet NeverTrust™ ensures that applications designed for outdated Windows environments such as WinXP, Win7 and even Win10, remain functional and protected on current and future operating systems, such as Win11, macOS, chromeOS and Linux.

By default, Droplet’s unique “deny all” approach to delivering any x86 application to any operating system helps strengthen your security posture and helps overcome the security and compliance challenges of attaining cyber accreditation.
