Security & Compliance

Enterprise-grade protection
for your design system.

Security isn't just a featureβ€”it's the foundation of trust. Modly implements industry-leading encryption, rigorous access controls, and SOC 2 Type II compliance to keep your modules and data safe.

Modly secure data center infrastructure with encrypted servers and monitoring systems
Certified Compliance

Trusted by global enterprises

We adhere to the strictest regulatory standards to ensure your data sovereignty and legal peace of mind.

SOC 2 Type II

We undergo an annual, independent audit of our controls surrounding security, availability, and confidentiality. Our SOC 2 report is available upon request for all Enterprise customers.

GDPR Compliant

We are fully GDPR-ready with Data Processing Agreements (DPA) and a Right to Erasure framework in place. Your user data and design tokens are handled according to strict EU regulations.

CCPA Ready

We respect user privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act. Our platform provides clear consent management and data export capabilities.

US-EU Data Transfers

Our infrastructure is designed to facilitate compliant data transfers. We utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure GDPR standards are met across all global regions.

Data Security

Defense in depth for every data layer

From the moment data leaves your design file to when it's rendered in production, it is protected by multiple layers of security.

At-Rest Encryption

All data stored in Modly is encrypted at rest using AES-256 standards. This applies to design tokens, module definitions, user files, and audit logs.

In-Transit Encryption

We enforce TLS 1.3 for all data in transit between your browser, our API, and external integrations like Figma. We never transit data unencrypted.

Key Management

For Enterprise customers, we offer Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) integration with AWS KMS, allowing you to manage your encryption keys and maintain full control over your data.

Access Controls

Granular control over who sees what

SSO & Identity

Secure your workspace with Single Sign-On (SSO) support for SAML 2.0 and OIDC. Integrate seamlessly with Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and more.

Role-Based Access

Define roles with RBAC policies. Assign permissions for viewing, editing, publishing, or managing team settings with surgical precision.

Audit Logs

Every action is logged. Track who changed a component, when a module was published, and who accessed sensitive settings with immutable audit trails.

Infrastructure

Global, redundant, and resilient

Modly runs on a highly distributed AWS architecture across multiple Availability Zones (AZs). We use a multi-region deployment strategy to ensure high availability and disaster recovery.

Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), EU (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Singapore).
Uptime SLA: 99.9% (Enterprise)
Disaster Recovery (DR): Automated daily backups with point-in-time recovery (RPO: < 15 mins, RTO: < 1 hour).

Vulnerability Management

Penetration testing & transparency

Third-Party Audits

Our security posture is verified by leading penetration testing firms. We publish our audit results (excluding sensitive PII) to demonstrate our commitment to transparency.

Automated Scanning

Continuous integration pipelines run static and dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST) on every deploy. We scan for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities before anything goes live.

Security FAQ

Frequently asked security questions

Who owns the data stored in Modly?

You own your data. Modly is a platform service, not a data storage provider. You retain full rights to your design systems, tokens, and module definitions. We provide export functionality for all data at any time.

Does Modly offer self-hosting options?

Yes, for Enterprise customers, we offer a self-hosted deployment on AWS. This allows you to host Modly within your own VPC or on-premise infrastructure for maximum control over data residency.

How do you handle security incidents?

We have a formal Incident Response Plan (IRP) in place. In the unlikely event of a breach, we will notify affected customers within 72 hours (as required by law) and provide a full forensic report and remediation steps.

Are there any third-party integrations that access my data?

Modly has a vetted marketplace of integrations (e.g., Figma, GitHub, Jira). Each integration requires OAuth 2.0 or API tokens with scoped permissions. We do not sell or share your data with third-party advertisers.

What is your policy on open-source software?

We use industry-standard open-source components for our infrastructure stack. We maintain a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and scan our dependencies for known vulnerabilities using tools like Snyk.

Can I request a penetration test of my own organization's usage?

Absolutely. We welcome and encourage security audits of our platform. For Enterprise clients, we can facilitate a white-box testing engagement to validate your specific security architecture.
