Security FAQ

How secure is Framer?

Get instant answers about your app's security.

Short Answer

Framer's platform layer has no known systemic vulnerabilities, but Framer apps regularly ship with misconfigurations that leave user data exposed. Platform security ≠ app security.

Detailed Answer

What Framer gives you out of the box

Framer enables beautiful, interactive websites with powerful CMS features. Security settings need attention during the design process.

The security gaps that actually appear in Framer apps

  1. **CMS collection visibility** — A common failure mode in Framer applications: cms collection visibility. Left unchecked, this can lead to data exposure, unauthorized access, or service abuse.

2. **Code override security** — A common failure mode in Framer applications: code override security. Left unchecked, this can lead to data exposure, unauthorized access, or service abuse.

3. **Third** — party script risks

Platform security is strong where Framer controls the stack. The gaps above all sit in the application layer — where Framer's guarantees end and yours begin.

Verdict

Framer can be run securely. Treat "is Framer secure" as a deployment-time question, not a platform question: run a security scan, verify database access controls are configured, and close the specific gaps above. Platforms with better defaults (e.g. enforced database access controls) would reduce the work — but none of them make scanning unnecessary.

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.

More Questions About This Topic

Is Framer secure enough for production?

Yes — once verified. The platform layer handles infrastructure reliably; the application layer (access controls, secrets, auth) is where production readiness is won or lost. Verification is a scan + manual review of database access controls, not a vibe check.

What percentage of Framer apps have security issues before review?

Based on the breaches we track and community reporting, the majority of Framer apps deployed without a pre-launch scan have at least one critical or high-severity finding. The #1 recurring finding is "CMS collection visibility". This is not unique to Framer — it's the base rate for AI-assisted development — but it means the default state of a shipped Framer app is "unverified."

Does Framer itself have security certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001)?

Platform certifications from Framer apply to the Framer infrastructure — not to your app built with Framer. Even if Framer is SOC 2-compliant, your app can still leak data through misconfigured database access controls, exposed secrets, or missing access checks. Compliance for your app is a separate effort; the platform's certifications are necessary but never sufficient.
