Sitecore Support Readiness Check
Sitecore XP and XM 10.0 and 10.1 leave Extended Support on 31 December 2026. After that, Sustaining Support has no security fixes. In 1-2 weeks, with read-only access, we compare your three paths with cost and risk, so you can decide before the deadline.
Not sure yet? Start with the free Snapshot. We look at your version, hosting, integrations and deadline exposure, and send you a one-page summary.
What the check covers
- Exposure: which versions and environments you run, and what support each one has today.
- Security: current patch level, hosting and the compensating controls you need if you stay.
- Paths:
- stay with compensating controls;
- upgrade to 10.4 or 10.5;
- move to SitecoreAI.
- Each comes with cost, risk and time.
- Integrations: what breaks or needs rework on each path.
- Content and personalisation: what moves easily and what doesn't.
- AI readiness: what you'd need before AI agents work in your CMS.
What you get
- A written options paper with cost and risk for each path.
- A recommended path and a dated plan you can show your security team and auditor.
Price
- Single (1 Sitecore instance, up to 3 sites, 1-2 weeks): from €6,500 / $7,000 / £5,500, credited to follow-on work.

FAQ
What happens after Extended Support ends?
Your version moves to Sustaining Support. Sitecore no longer provides security updates, fixes or hotfixes for it. You still get documentation and help with upgrading, but Sitecore supports upgrades only to a version in Mainstream support (10.4 or 10.5 today). Your site keeps running. The risk is new vulnerabilities with no fix from Sitecore.
Can Kogifi patch Sitecore after support ends?
No. Only Sitecore can ship Sitecore patches. We reduce the risk with compensating controls: monitoring, hardening and WAF rules. That buys time to upgrade.
Since when are security fixes in Extended Support paid?
Since 1 June 2026, by separate agreement with your Sitecore account representative.
Upgrade or move to SitecoreAI?
It depends on your sites, integrations, licence and run cost. The check puts both next to staying put, with numbers.
How much access do you need?
Read-only. We don't change anything during the check.
What if we already have a Sitecore partner?
The options paper is yours, whoever does the work.
How long does it take?
1-2 weeks for one instance and up to 3 sites.
