What are Framer security best practices?
Get instant answers about your app's security.
Short Answer
Framer security best practices are dictated by Framer's actual risk profile, not a generic checklist. The top three: scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack; scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack; scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack.
Detailed Answer
The best practices specific to Framer (not generic OWASP)
Every "security best practices" list tells you to use HTTPS and rotate keys. Those are table stakes. The list below is what actually matters for Framer apps, based on the risks that appear in real Framer deployments.
1. Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack
*Why:* A common failure mode in Framer applications: cms collection visibility. Left unchecked, this can lead to data exposure, unauthorized access, or service abuse. *Do this:* Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack. Address the specific findings — generic best practices don't catch platform-specific misconfigurations.
2. Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack
*Why:* A common failure mode in Framer applications: code override security. Left unchecked, this can lead to data exposure, unauthorized access, or service abuse. *Do this:* Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack. Address the specific findings — generic best practices don't catch platform-specific misconfigurations.
3. Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack
*Why:* party script risks *Do this:* Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack. Address the specific findings — generic best practices don't catch platform-specific misconfigurations.
4. Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack
*Why:* A common failure mode in Framer applications: form handling security. Left unchecked, this can lead to data exposure, unauthorized access, or service abuse. *Do this:* Scan your deployed application with a security tool that understands this stack. Address the specific findings — generic best practices don't catch platform-specific misconfigurations.
Verification
Even perfect best practices don't prove themselves — the only way to confirm the list above is implemented is to scan a deployed Framer app. VAS probes each of cms check, code overrides, scripts, forms by actually attempting the attack, not just reading headers or docs.

Expert Perspectives
“There's a new kind of coding I call 'vibe coding', where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.”
“It's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.”

What's the single most important Framer security step?
Configure database access controls before writing a single feature. In a Framer app, a table created without access controls is a fresh data leak the moment you hit deploy. Every other security best practice is lower priority.
Should I follow Framer's docs or a third-party best-practices list?
Both, for different things. Framer's docs tell you *how* to configure their specific features — that's authoritative. Third-party best practices (including this one) tell you *which* failure modes show up in real Framer deployments — that's where Framer's docs under-deliver, because Framer doesn't advertise what its own users misconfigure. Use docs for syntax, external guidance for priority.
How often should I re-audit Framer app security?
Before every production release, without exception. Framer's AI-assisted workflow means database schemas, API endpoints, and auth logic can change in a single chat session — any of which can introduce an issue from the list above. Weekly automated scans for live Framer apps are a reasonable baseline; post-feature scans are non-negotiable.
