Why Enterprise Security Matters

When a single breach can cost over $4.45 million, security isn’t a checklist—it’s a strategic priority.

According to IBM’s 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, enterprise breaches result in more than just financial damage. Beyond remediation costs, companies face lost revenue, regulatory fines, and lasting reputational harm that’s hard to undo.

But the impact doesn’t stop there.

Enterprises today must also navigate a complex web of compliance standards—ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and others. These frameworks require you to demonstrate:

• That your data is protected
• That strict controls are in place
• And that every change is traceable and audit-ready

Failing to meet these standards can lead to audit failures, project delays, and hefty penalties—not to mention the internal scramble to fix manual gaps under pressure.

That’s where monday.com for enterprises changes the game.

The platform comes pre-certified and audit-ready, so you’re not building compliance from scratch. You get the infrastructure to lock down access, document every action, and prove your security posture without cobbling together disconnected tools.

More importantly, strong security creates trust.

Customers feel safe sharing sensitive data. Partners gain confidence in your systems. And your IT team gains real-time visibility to spot anomalies early, before they turn into incidents.

Choosing monday.com isn’t just a security upgrade—it’s a growth safeguard. You protect your data, your business continuity, and your reputation—all at once.

monday.com’s Security Foundations

To build your enterprise on a rock-solid platform, you need security controls you can trust—right out of the box.

1. Certifications & Compliance

You shouldn’t have to build compliance from scratch. monday.com for enterprises arrives audit-ready with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, plus GDPR-friendly controls woven into every workflow. Instead of scrambling to document your policies, you download compliance reports straight from the platform—freeing your security team to focus on strategy, not paperwork. Regular third-party audits ensure your controls stay up to date, so you’re never caught off-guard by sudden regulatory changes or surprise inspection requests.

2. Data Encryption & Access Controls

Protecting sensitive data means encrypting it end to end. monday.com uses AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.2+ for data in transit, so every file, comment, and task you store is unreadable to unauthorized eyes. 

You decide where work happens by locking down IP ranges—only requests from your corporate network get through. And because authentication is your first line of defense, monday.com integrates with SAML 2.0 SSO and supports multi-factor authentication. No more shared passwords or manual user provisioning—just seamless, policy-driven access that scales with your teams.

3. Monitoring, Logging & Threat Detection

When it comes to security, visibility isn’t optional—it’s critical. monday.com captures a real-time audit trail of every action: who created a board, who changed a permission, who downloaded a file—and when it happened down to the second. 

Those logs feed directly into your SIEM solution—Splunk, IBM QRadar, Datadog, you name it—so you get a single pane of glass for threat detection. Automated alerts flag unusual patterns (say, a user downloading hundreds of records at 3 AM), letting your security operations center investigate anomalies before they become incidents.

Together, these security foundations give you the confidence to focus on growth while monday.com shields your critical data.

Defining Roles & Permissions

Locking down who can do what is essential to keeping your enterprise secure—and your teams productive. monday.com offers both default hierarchies for fast setup and custom roles for specialized workflows.

1. Hierarchical Permission Structures

monday.com’s four built-in roles give you a clear starting point:

• Admins control everything. They manage security settings (SSO, MFA), provision users, and define global policies.
• Team Owners run specific workspaces. They invite members, configure board templates, and set up automations.
• Members focus on execution. They create tasks, update statuses, and collaborate on boards they’re assigned to.
• Guests have board-only access. This is perfect for outside consultants, auditors, or clients who need visibility without full platform rights.

Least-Privilege Best Practices

• Minimal access: Grant only the permissions required for each role.

• On-boarding/off-boarding: Automate user lifecycle events so permissions change the moment a role changes or someone leaves.

• Periodic reviews: Schedule quarterly or bi-annual audits of all permission levels. Use monday.com’s audit logs to spot stale or excessive access.

Custom Role Creation

Sometimes the default isn’t enough. monday.com lets you tailor roles to your exact workflows:

• HR Specialist: View and edit recruitment and onboarding boards—no access to finance or IT boards.

• Budget Analyst: Full edit rights on expense reports, forecasts, and spend dashboards; read-only access elsewhere.

• IT Security Officer: Configure integrations, manage security settings, and review audit logs across all workspaces.

Pro Tip: Name roles and group permissions around real business functions—like “Compliance Reviewer” or “Product Launch Lead”—so it’s immediately obvious who should get each role.

Bringing It All Together

By combining built-in hierarchies with finely tuned custom roles, you’ll:

• Reduce risk: No more orphaned admin accounts or hidden guests.

• Streamline ops: Teams self-serve access where appropriate, cutting down IT tickets.

• Boost compliance: Clear documentation of who has what rights simplifies audits and regulatory checks.

With monday.com’s flexible permission engine, you’ll secure your data, simplify governance, and empower every team to move fast—safely.

Governance Policies That Keep Your Enterprise Aligned

Security isn’t just about locks and keys—it’s about the systems that ensure every action aligns with your internal policies and external regulations. With monday.com, governance becomes a living part of your workflows, not a blocker.

Board-Ready Dashboards & Reporting

When leadership needs answers fast, monday.com delivers clear, audit-ready insights in real time.

• Compliance Reporting Made Easy: Use prebuilt templates for common standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR to monitor and showcase compliance effortlessly.

• Live KPI Dashboards: Visualize key risk indicators, access logs, policy adherence rates, or open incidents—all from a single, shareable dashboard that’s always up to date.

Automated Workflows & Approval Chains

Manual processes introduce human error. Automations make compliance consistent.

• Policy Enforcement with No-Code Logic: Create workflows that route sensitive requests—like purchase approvals, employee access, or vendor onboarding—through mandatory review and sign-off steps.

• Built-in Audit Trails: Every step, approval, or rejection is logged with user data and timestamps, ensuring full accountability across the chain.

Version Control & Change Management

Policies evolve, but your system needs to track and control those changes.

• Track Template Changes Over Time: monday.com maintains a full history of board or workflow edits, so you always know who changed what and when.

• Safe Testing & Rollbacks: Test changes in a sandbox environment, and if something breaks, roll back with a click—no downtime, no disruption.

From the boardroom to the front line, monday.com helps you govern smarter—making policies actionable, measurable, and scalable across departments.
