DRUPAL for European CyberSecurity - CoCyber

The CoCyber.eu project was a brand-new initiative under the European Union, to improve collaboration between civilian and defence
cybersecurity communities across Europe. 

The Lisbon Council needed a modern, secure, and flexible Drupal website to serve as the project’s digital hub, a place where stakeholders could share trusted information, and practices, and coordinate policy recommendations.

The solution needed to be responsive, easy to update by non-technical staff, and adaptable to evolving EU project needs. 

The design had to align with the CoCyber brand and present complex information in an accessible way.

GeoNovation was responsible for:

• Creating a custom Drupal theme built on Bootstrap 5, extended with
  additional styling and components;
• Developing custom modules to manage sources, bibliography,
  questionnaires, and other interactive features;
• Ensuring the platform met EU-level security and accessibility standards.

GeoNovation worked closely with the Lisbon Council team to align the platform with both the project’s strategic mission and operational needs. 

The UX/UI design was provided by the client, allowing the team to focus on a robust, maintainable, and secure implementation.

The development proceeded using the Gitflow branching model to track versioning and release of features through the different environments, until production.

• Setup of Drupal 10 environment with a custom Bootstrap 5 theme
• Development of custom modules for source and bibliography management, questionnaires, and dynamic content displays.
• Responsive design and accessibility compliance

GeoNovation delivered a fully responsive Drupal 10 platform according to
CoCyber.eu’s mission. 

The website uses a custom theme built over a Bootstrap 5, and implements a custom module for specific internal functionality, offering practical tools for the visitors.

• Sources & Bibliography Management: Structured repository for
  academic and policy references;
• Digital Maps: Interactive mapping features to visualize activities and
  initiatives;
• Questionnaires: Custom survey and feedback forms;
• Dynamic Listings: Custom modules for events, knowledge base
  entries, and other content types.

After launch, CoCyber.eu received positive feedback from EU project partners.
