Secure Figma browsing
Figma has a SOC 2 Type 2 report. It is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Exposure comes from how files are shared and opened.
Quick answer
Figma's security page lists FedRAMP Authorized. It also lists ISO/IEC 42001:2023 for AI management. Link settings decide who can open a file. The Anyone setting reaches people outside your organization. Paid plans can password-protect files. Enterprise plans can set link expiry. Verify unexpected invites with the sender. Open unknown prototype links in an isolated browser.

Main browser risks for Figma
- Phishing that imitates Figma share/invite notifications to capture credentials.
- Publicly shared files exposing sensitive product designs or customer assets.
- External links embedded in prototypes that route users to malicious destinations.
- Session compromise risk when designers browse risky sites while authenticated to valuable internal workspaces.
- Copy/paste leakage of internal designs, tokens, and notes into untrusted tools or AI prompts.
Typical sensitive data in Figma
- Product designs and UI components.
- Prototypes and user research artifacts.
- Brand assets and marketing creatives.
- Links to staging environments and internal tools.
- Customer and partner assets shared for review.
- Workspace access controls and sharing metadata.
Who can open a shared Figma file
| Link setting | Who can open the file | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Anyone | Anyone with the link, including people outside your organization | All plans |
| Your organization | Anyone at your organization | Organization and Enterprise |
| A selected workspace | Anyone in that workspace | Enterprise |
| Only invited people | Only people invited directly to the file | All plans |
From Figma's help article on sharing files and prototypes, checked October 30, 2026. Admins can turn off public links.
Recommended controls by role
Engineering
- Treat external prototype links as untrusted.
- Keep staging and admin sessions apart from design work.
- Restrict extension installs on design team browsers.
IT Admins
- Turn off public links if outside sharing is not needed.
- Use Governance+ for IP allowlisting and enforced 2FA on Enterprise.
- Isolate unknown external links opened from within prototypes and comments.
Security
- Audit sharing and guest access on sensitive projects.
- Investigate suspicious Figma invites in an isolated browser.
- Set an AI use policy for design files.
Where Shield fits with Figma
The controls above are general security practices, not Legba features. Figma is not a Legba integration.
Legba's part is narrow. Shield opens a page in an isolated browser off your device. Use it for a link you do not trust.
Limits
Shield moves page execution off your device. Downloads and copied data still cross that boundary. It cannot stop you sharing passwords with unfamiliar sites. Treat downloads and sign-in prompts with care.
Free for 30 days. No card required.
