The last security update was Aug 5, 2016.  Believe that may be the last
update for the Nexus 7, 2013.

Did read on the XDA forum for the Nexus 7 that the 2013 version got the
Marshmallow as a "freebie" as it was past support stage; something
about that it was just over the 2 year timeframe.

Someone has started/compiled a Nougat system (alpha) for the Nexus 7
but it wasn't Cyanogen & so I'll wait...
