Optimizely is compliant to GDPR and CCPA. We retain a Data Protection Officer (DPO), collaborate on Subject Access Requests and sign legally binding Data Processing Agreements with our customers and partners.

7. Pro-active, layered security model

Optimizely product teams follow a formal Secure Development Lifecycle that includes code review and vulnerability testing for each release.

Optimizely’s DXP uses an origin-shield model so your website applications deliver only authorized, encrypted traffic. All traffic flows through Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) layers to prevent cyberattacks.

A flexible authentication framework enables you to leverage your existing or preferred Identity Providers such as Active Directory or Okta so you can manage your data in compliance with your corporate standards and role-based access requirements.

All customer applications and data are segregated and isolated for security and performance. All data at rest, including web content, backups and logs is encrypted leveraging automated services. Any potential security incidents are prioritized as P1 incidents and escalated to a dedicated Security Incident Response Team (SIRT).
