Webflow Enterprise implements comprehensive security measures validated by independent third-party auditors, meeting the stringent requirements of enterprise organizations across regulated industries. The platform achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance in February 2022, following its Type I certification, through rigorous auditing by KirkpatrickPrice. This certification confirms that Webflow's information security practices, policies, procedures, and operations meet SOC 2 standards across five critical trust principles: security (protecting systems against unauthorized access), availability (ensuring continuous system functionality), processing integrity (accurate and timely operations), confidentiality (protecting classified information), and privacy (safe data storage, usage, and disposal).
Beyond SOC 2, Webflow maintains ISO 27001:2013 certification for information security management, ISO 27017 for cloud security, and ISO 27018 for protecting personally identifiable information in public clouds. The platform's security infrastructure includes automatic SSL/TLS encryption for all hosted sites, Basic DDoS protection on standard plans escalating to advanced DDoS protection for Enterprise clients, enterprise-grade hosting on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with Fastly's global CDN, regular security audits and penetration testing, and automated backup systems with robust versioning capabilities.
For data privacy compliance, Webflow fully adheres to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) requirements. The platform is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Webflow provides a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) that includes EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK's International Data Transfer Agreement, available to all customers regardless of plan selection. Importantly, Webflow acts as a data processor while customers remain the data controllers, meaning organizations maintain responsibility for implementing proper consent mechanisms, privacy notices, and data handling procedures on their websites.
Regarding authentication, Enterprise plans support Single Sign-On (SSO) integration with major enterprise identity providers including Okta, Ping, Active Directory, and LDAP, centralizing access management and reducing reliance on individual credentials. Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an additional verification layer for all user accounts, aligning with enterprise security baselines. While Webflow itself is not natively HIPAA compliant (it does not offer Business Associate Agreements or meet specific HIPAA encryption standards for data at rest), healthcare organizations can achieve HIPAA-compliant workflows by integrating Webflow with specialized third-party platforms like Keragon that provide the necessary BAAs and compliance infrastructure.
Financial services firms like PWC and healthcare-adjacent organizations leverage Webflow Enterprise's SOC 2 compliance and robust security controls for their public-facing marketing websites while maintaining sensitive data in HIPAA-compliant backend systems. Organizations in regulated industries prioritize Webflow Enterprise specifically because the security certifications and audit reports provide the documentation necessary for internal compliance reviews and vendor risk assessments.
Flowout architects Webflow Enterprise implementations with security-first principles, ensuring proper configuration of access controls, data handling procedures, and third-party integrations that meet enterprise compliance requirements, schedule a security assessment to discuss your organization's specific compliance needs.
Yes, Webflow Enterprise's SOC 2 Type II, ISO certifications, and GDPR compliance make it suitable for financial services. Companies like PWC use Webflow Enterprise for public-facing sites, though sensitive financial data should be managed in specialized systems.
Webflow is not natively HIPAA compliant and cannot handle protected health information (PHI) directly. Healthcare organizations should use Webflow for marketing sites and public content while managing PHI through HIPAA-compliant systems. Third-party integrations like Keragon can bridge this gap.
Webflow conducts regular security audits and penetration testing. Enterprise clients can request SOC 2 Type II reports and security documentation through their dedicated account managers for vendor risk assessment processes.
Webflow stores data in the United States but complies with EU data transfer requirements through Data Privacy Framework certification and Standard Contractual Clauses included in the DPA. Subprocessors are publicly documented.
Native IP restrictions are not available in Webflow, but organizations can implement this functionality by integrating with Cloudflare to create geographic or IP-based access rules.
