How to Secure Your Webflow App

Building with Webflow? This guide covers the essential security steps to protect your application before launch.

Step-by-Step Security Guide

1. Audit Your Code for Secrets

Review your Webflow project for hardcoded API keys, tokens, and credentials. Move them to environment variables.

2. Configure Database Security

Enable Row Level Security (Supabase/Postgres) or Security Rules (Firebase) to protect your data.

3. Add Security Headers

Configure Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, HSTS, and other security headers.

4. Secure Authentication

Enable email verification, enforce password requirements, and implement rate limiting.

5. Review Dependencies

Check for known vulnerabilities in your dependencies using npm audit or similar tools.

6. Run a Security Scan

Use VAS to scan your deployed application for vulnerabilities before launch.

Common Security Mistakes

Avoid these common Webflow security pitfalls:

Hardcoding secrets in source code
Skipping database security configuration
Missing security headers
Weak authentication settings
Not scanning before production

Recommended Security Tools

Use these tools to maintain security throughout development:

VAS Security Scanner
npm audit / yarn audit
Git-secrets
Snyk

Ready to Secure Your App?

Security is an ongoing process, not a one-time checklist. After implementing these steps, use VAS to verify your Webflow app is secure before launch, and consider regular scans as you add new features.
