Why Compliance and Security Matter for SaaS Websites – and How Webflow Helps

‍

For SaaS companies, trust is everything. Customers expect their data to be safe, your platform to comply with regulations, and your website to reflect professionalism. But many SaaS businesses struggle to maintain compliance and security when their websites are built on outdated CMS platforms or patched together with plugins. The risks? Slower growth, data vulnerabilities, and reputational damage.

‍

Pain Points of Traditional Website Setups

• Plugin dependency: Security often relies on third-party plugins that need constant updates.
• Unclear compliance: GDPR, CCPA, and other data rules are difficult to enforce on rigid platforms.
• Relief from manual fixes: Teams are freed from the burden of monitoring security patches, allowing them to focus on growth and feel liberated from the tedious tasks.
• Vulnerable hosting: Shared hosting environments create unnecessary risks for SaaS businesses.
  
  

How Webflow Delivers Compliance and Security

Webflow provides SaaS companies with an enterprise-grade foundation that prioritises compliance and safety:

• Enterprise-level hosting: Powered by AWS and Fastly, Webflow ensures global, secure, and fast delivery of your site.
• SSL by default: Every Webflow site comes with SSL certificates, protecting data in transit.
  GDPR & CCPA-friendly setups: With the proper onboarding and Variables Pages for managing cookie banners and data notices, compliance is streamlined.
• No plugin risks: Security is handled natively by Webflow’s infrastructure, ensuring a secure environment and reducing vulnerabilities.
• Scalable governance: Using Components for standardised policies and legal notices ensures consistency and gives you the confidence to manage growth effectively.
