Webflow security, spelled out for your infosec review.

Every Webflow site we ship runs on AWS and Fastly infrastructure, with SSL, DDoS protection, and SOC 2 compliance included. This page covers what the platform secures and what we handle on top of it.

Key security features

Every Webflow build we deliver ships with these four protections as standard.

Secure hosting with SSL encryption

Every site we build on Webflow includes a free SSL certificate. Data moving between your site and its visitors is encrypted, so personal details and payment information cannot be intercepted in transit. Visitors see the secure https address, and search engines rank encrypted sites higher.

DDoS protection

Webflow's hosting watches traffic patterns around the clock and absorbs malicious spikes automatically. An attack built to overwhelm your server gets deflected before real visitors notice, and the site stays fast and available even at peak load.

Compliance with security standards

Webflow is audited against SOC 2, PCI DSS, and other relevant standards, with regular security assessments and transparent policies behind them. When procurement asks for the paperwork, it exists.

Webflow's security overview

Regular updates and patches

Threats change, so the platform does too. Webflow's security team monitors for vulnerabilities and deploys patches across the platform automatically. Your site stays current without maintenance windows or any work on your side.

Webflow security infrastructure on AWS and Fastly

Infrastructure

Engineered from the ground up, tested from the outside

Webflow's hosting runs on AWS and Fastly. In practice that means fast load times, high uptime, and an architecture built to stay online when traffic spikes or attacks hit. Independent security firms audit the platform on a regular schedule, so these claims are verified rather than self-reported.

  • Penetration testingOutside firms run comprehensive penetration tests against the platform.
  • Certifications and attestationsFormal security certifications back up the compliance claims.
  • Findings become fixesAudit results feed directly into platform improvements.

Where our work comes in

Webflow provides a secure foundation. The security of what we build on top of it is shared work, and this is our side of it.

Secure coding standards

Custom code follows practices that prevent common vulnerabilities like XSS and SQL injection. We review and test everything custom before it ships.

Vetted integrations

Reputable plugins and integrations only. Before any third-party tool touches your site, we check that it meets security standards.

Strong authentication

We recommend strong, unique passwords for every account and set up two-factor authentication wherever your site supports it.

Frequently asked questions

The questions clients ask before signing off.

How does Webflow keep my website secure over time?
Webflow's security team monitors the platform for vulnerabilities and deploys updates and patches as they are needed. The infrastructure runs on trusted services like AWS, which gives every site a strong and reliable foundation.
Can I use custom code on my Webflow site without compromising security?
Yes. Webflow allows custom code, but any addition has to be secure. We test all custom code rigorously before it ships to keep vulnerabilities out.
How does Webflow handle data backups and recovery?
Webflow backs up your site automatically, and you can restore a previous version whenever you need to. If data is ever lost or corrupted, you can recover the site quickly.
Is Webflow compliant with data protection regulations besides GDPR?
Yes. Webflow is committed to global data protection standards and complies with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other regulations where they apply.
