What we see in United States

Stripe, Netflix, Airbnb, Notion — American tech companies drove the migration to modern frameworks. They didn't debate it, they measured and moved.

The federal government spends more on maintaining legacy systems than most countries spend on their entire IT budget. The US government is the world's largest legacy software customer.

American healthcare on WordPress is a HIPAA compliance conversation waiting to happen. The OCR is increasing enforcement of 'reasonable safeguards.'

State government sites vary wildly — California and New York have modernized significantly, while many states still run on WordPress and Drupal from 2010-era builds.

United States compliance landscape

HIPAA

Health information protection. Running patient services on 18,005 CVEs challenges the 'reasonable safeguards' requirement.

California privacy. Data subject requests on legacy CMS platforms are operationally difficult.

FedRAMP

Federal cloud authorization. Legacy infrastructure makes authorization challenging.
