Advanced Security Settings in Webflow Enterprise

To enhance your website's security in Webflow Enterprise, follow these step-by-step instructions.

1. Access Security Settings
Log into your Webflow account, navigate to your project's dashboard, and click on the settings icon in the main navigation menu on the left side to access project settings.

2. Enable SSL
Go to the Hosting tab in your project settings to activate SSL (Secure Socket Layer). SSL encrypts data exchanged between users and your website, providing added security. Toggle the switch in the SSL section to enable it. SSL certificates are typically issued automatically, though activation may take a few minutes.

3. Secure Your Custom Domain
Ensure your custom domain is set up correctly under hosting settings. Verify that it points to your Webflow project, and then enable force HTTPS to redirect all traffic to the secure HTTPS version of your site. Find this option under the SSL Settings section.

4. Use Password Protection
For restricting access to your site or specific pages, use the password protection feature. Go to the Pages section in your project settings. Select the desired page, change its visibility from public to password-protected, and set a strong password. Ensure the password is communicated securely to those who need access.

5. Implement Role-Based Access Control
Set specific access levels for team members using role-based access control. Navigate to the Team tab in project settings to invite team members and assign roles like Admin, Editor, or Designer. Choose roles wisely to reduce risks of unauthorized access.

6. Utilize Audit Logs
Audit logs help track changes made to your site, crucial for compliance and monitoring security. Access this feature under project settings to view user actions history. Filter logs by date and user to identify security incidents or changes.

7. Continuous Security Monitoring
Consider integrating external security tools for regular vulnerability scans, breach monitoring, and web application firewall management. Although Webflow Enterprise provides security features, an additional layer of security offers more protection.

8. Maintain Regular Backups
Ensure regular website backups for recovery in case of security breaches or data loss. While Webflow automatically saves project versions, export your site’s code and assets periodically. Go to the Backups tab in project settings to export.

By implementing these security features, including SSL, password protection, custom domain security, role-based access controls, audit logs, and regular backups, you can significantly enhance your website's security. Stay proactive in monitoring and adjusting your security measures to address evolving threats, ensuring your site remains secure and allowing you to focus on your business.
