How secure is Miro? A deep dive into security features

Does your team's innovation process feel like a security minefield? You're trying to foster creativity and breakthrough thinking, but every collaborative session raises questions: Where is our sensitive data going? Who can access our strategic plans? Are we compliant with industry regulations when we share customer insights on digital boards?

It's frustrating when security concerns slow down the very innovation that drives your business forward. Traditional collaboration tools often force you to choose between openness and protection — but that's a false choice that can cost you both speed and safety.

The challenge is real: 67% of leaders say siloed ways of working are a significant barrier to innovation speed. Yet rushing to implement collaboration tools without considering security implications has become one of the biggest contributors to data breaches across organizations.

Key Miro security takeaways:

• Miro's data security is proactive, continually evolving to help protect against new threats.

• Miro's security model is based on Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), which is designed to assume threats can originate from anywhere, even within the organization.

• The company holds certifications like SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001,ISO 42001 and demonstrates GDPR compliance.

• The Enterprise Guard add-on provides advanced features like automated sensitive data classification and Intelligent Guardrails.

Imagine seamless innovation that's secure by design

Picture this: Your cross-functional team jumps into a brainstorming session about your next product launch. Marketing shares customer personas, engineering discusses technical constraints, and design presents user journey maps — all on a shared visual canvas. Everyone contributes ideas, builds on each other's thoughts, and makes real progress.

But here's what makes it truly powerful: throughout this entire creative process, sensitive customer data remains protected, access controls ensure only the right people see confidential information.

No security trade-offs, no innovation slowdowns.

This kind of secure, collaborative innovation requires a platform that treats security not as a barrier, but as an enabler of confident creativity.

How Miro makes secure collaboration a reality

Here's where Miro's innovation workspace becomes invaluable. As a visual collaboration platform trusted by over 90 million users worldwide, Miro has built security into every layer of the collaboration experience.

But we didn't just bolt security features onto an existing tool. We designed our AI-powered visual canvas with a fundamental understanding: the most innovative teams need the confidence to share their boldest ideas, knowing their intellectual property and sensitive data are completely protected.

The foundation: Enterprise-grade infrastructure security

Think of security like the foundation of a house — you don't see it, but everything depends on it working perfectly. Miro runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with military-grade infrastructure protection:

• Data centers that never sleep: Your boards live in highly secure AWS data centers across the EU, US, and Australia, with 24/7 monitoring and physical security controls that exceed bank-level standards.

• Encryption that follows your data everywhere: We use 256-bit AES encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit. Whether you're adding a sticky note or uploading a confidential presentation, your information is protected end-to-end.

• Network security with multiple defense layers: Our Zero Trust Architecture means we verify every user, device, and request — no exceptions. It's like having a security checkpoint at every digital door.

Access controls that don't get in the way

The best security is invisible to authorized users but impenetrable to everyone else. Miro's access controls work seamlessly with how your team actually collaborates:

• Single Sign-On (SSO) integration: Connect with your existing identity providers like Okta, Azure AD, or Google SSO. Your team gets one-click access while IT maintains complete control over who's in and who's out.

• Two-factor authentication (2FA): Add an extra security layer without slowing anyone down. Whether your organization uses SSO or not, 2FA works automatically with authenticator apps your team already knows.

• Role-based admin controls: Distribute administrative responsibilities with precision. Company Admins handle global settings, User Admins manage team access, and Content Admins focus on board governance — no one gets more access than they need.

• Idle session timeouts: Automatically log out inactive users to prevent unauthorized access from unattended devices. Set the limits that work for your security policy.

Compliance that actually enables innovation

Compliance shouldn't slow down creativity — it should give your team the confidence to innovate boldly. Miro maintains certifications and standards that let you focus on building the future:

SOC 2 Type II certification: Independent audits verify our security controls work as promised, with detailed reports you can share with stakeholders and customers.

ISO 27001 compliance: International standards for information security management, ensuring consistent protection across all our operations.

ISO 42001 compliance. This is a new international standard for AI Management Systems. It provides a framework for organizations to responsibly develop, deploy, and use artificial intelligence, ensuring that AI systems are trustworthy, transparent, and align with ethical principles.

GDPR and data residency options: Host your content in EU data centers and maintain full control over where your data lives. Perfect for teams with strict data localization requirements.

Industry-specific certifications: From TISAX for automotive to Cyber Essentials, we maintain the certifications that matter to your sector.

Advanced protection for strategic work

Some innovation requires an extra layer of security. When your team is working on game-changing strategies, merger plans, or breakthrough product designs, standard security isn't enough — you need intelligent protection that adapts to content sensitivity.

Miro Enterprise Guard: Security that scales with importance

Enterprise Guard represents the next evolution of collaboration security. Instead of treating all content the same, it automatically identifies sensitive information and applies the right level of protection:

• Automatic content discovery: Our AI scans your boards to identify PII, PCI data, PHI, and business-critical information without human intervention. No more wondering if sensitive data is hiding in forgotten corners of old brainstorming sessions.

• Smart classification and labeling: Content gets automatically tagged based on sensitivity levels you define. Marketing campaign ideas get standard protection, while merger discussions get maximum security controls.

• Intelligent Guardrails: Dynamic controls that prevent risky actions based on content classification. High-sensitivity boards can't be shared publicly or exported without explicit approval, while general brainstorming remains friction-free.

• Content lifecycle management: Automate retention and deletion policies to meet compliance requirements. Boards get retained or deleted according to your organizational policies, with full audit trails for everything.

• Enterprise Key Management (EKM): Bring your own encryption keys hosted in your AWS account. You maintain complete control and visibility over data access, with detailed logs for compliance auditing.

Visibility and control at enterprise scale

Managing security across hundreds of teams and thousands of boards requires intelligent automation:

Enterprise Guard dashboards: Get a unified view of all boards containing sensitive content, with clear visibility into classification labels and sharing permissions.

Comprehensive audit logs: Track every action across your organization — from board creation to sharing permission changes. Perfect for security investigations or compliance reporting.

SCIM and Just-in-Time provisioning: Automate user lifecycle management. New hires get appropriate access automatically, departing employees lose access immediately.

Real innovation happens when security enables creativity

Don't just take our word for it. Here's how leading organizations use Miro's secure collaboration to drive breakthrough innovation:

PepsiCo brought a new product to market 3.6x faster by uniting global teams on Miro's secure platform. "We now take this as our best practice and our blueprint for complex innovation," says their VP of Innovation & Emerging Brands.

Keller Williams saw 50% faster time to market when they moved their product planning process to Miro, with built-in security giving leadership confidence to share strategic roadmaps across distributed teams.

WebMD achieved 60% more product improvements per quarter by implementing continuous discovery processes in Miro, with Enterprise Guard ensuring patient data discussions remained completely protected.

These results happen when security becomes an innovation enabler, not a barrier.
