In Q2 2025, nearly 94 million data records were exposed in global breaches, underscoring how critical strong data protection has become. For enterprises, these incidents highlight why compliance is not optional but a baseline requirement.
Any tool that manages customer information, whether for marketing, communication, or healthcare, must meet industry standards such as SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Unlayer, a 4-in-1 embeddable content builder (emails, pages, popups, and documents), is designed with these compliance requirements built in, ensuring businesses' scalability without compromising on regulatory standards.
This blog outlines what SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR mean in practice and how Unlayer enterprise security and compliance help organizations meet these standards with confidence.
Why Security & Compliance Matter More Than Ever
Security and compliance are no longer a checkbox—they’re the foundation of enterprise trust. Enterprises now evaluate content creation tools on their ability to meet strict regulatory requirements before integration even begins.
The consequences of non-compliance are steep. GDPR fines can reach 4% of global revenue, HIPAA violations can cost millions per incident, and the absence of SOC 2 certification often results in failed audits and lost enterprise deals. Beyond financial penalties, the reputational damage from mishandled data can be irreversible, eroding customer trust in ways no compliance program can easily repair.
This makes compliance frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR more than regulatory obligations—they are the foundation of enterprise-ready solutions.
SOC 2 Compliance: Building Trust With Data Security
SOC 2, developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), is a framework that measures how well a system protects sensitive customer information. It centers on five key areas: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
For enterprises, SOC 2 compliance is often a deal-breaker. Without it, SaaS platforms face failed audits, lost contracts, and limited access to enterprise markets. In practice, SOC 2 proves that a platform has strong safeguards in place—like encryption, access controls, and continuous monitoring.
Unlayer is SOC 2 Type II Certified, meaning its security practices have been independently audited and verified over time, strengthening its credibility as a secure and trustworthy builder for emails, pages, popups, and documents. To meet SOC 2 standards, Unlayer implements enterprise-grade security controls, including:
Data encryption secures information both at rest and in transit.
Access controls manage who can access sensitive data.
Audit logs record system activity to ensure accountability.
Backup & recovery keep data safe and recoverable in case of loss.
Network security protects systems from external threats.
Vulnerability scanning proactively finds and addresses security weaknesses.
DDoS protection prevents disruption of services from attacks.

HIPAA Compliance: Safeguarding Healthcare Data
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) establishes national standards for protecting sensitive healthcare information in the United States. HIPAA requirements go beyond legal obligations, providing the basis for maintaining patient trust by keeping Protected Health Information (PHI) confidential, secure, and accessible only to authorized personnel.
Non-compliance costs you millions of dollars per incident, while the reputational impact of mishandled data often proves far more costly in the long run.
The August 2025 Healthcare Data Breach Report by the HIPAA Journal revealed that most healthcare data breaches came from hacked network servers and compromised email accounts. These figures underscore how routine communication systems can become critical points of vulnerability if not properly safeguarded.
Unlayer, as a HIPAA-compliant email, page, document, and popup builder, incorporates safeguards that directly protect patient information across healthcare communications. From appointment reminders to lab result notifications, the platform ensures PHI is managed securely at every step.
End-to-end encryption that protects PHI in databases, during data transfers, and within email systems.
Role-based access controls so only authorized healthcare staff can view or update sensitive patient data.
Detailed audit trails that log every interaction with patient data, making it clear who accessed information and why.
Data isolation and secure workflows that prevent unauthorized sharing, keeping each patient’s information strictly confined to its intended use.
Network security measures and continuous monitoring that protect against external breaches targeting patient data.

GDPR Compliance: Respecting Global Privacy Standards
GDPR (The General Data Protection Regulation) sets clear rules for how personal data must be managed across the European Union. It is designed to give people greater control over their personal data while making organizations responsible for handling it properly.
Failing to comply with GDPR can lead to severe consequences, including fines, legal penalties, and lasting reputational damage. The DLA Piper's GDPR Fines and Data Breach Survey revealed that in 2024 alone, a total of EUR 1.2 billion (USD 1.26 billion/GBP 996 million) in fines was issued across Europe.
For enterprises handling customer data, whether in emails, web forms, or marketing campaigns, GDPR compliance is critical to maintaining trust and meeting international standards.
Unlayer is a GDPR compliant email and content builder, providing the tools and safeguards organizations need to manage personal data responsibly:
Data minimization and purpose limitation ensure only necessary customer data is collected and used for its intended purpose.
Consent management enables businesses to obtain, track, and respect user consent across all communications.
Data access and portability allow individuals to view, download, or request deletion of their personal data.
Secure storage and processing protect customer information with encryption and robust access controls.
Audit trails and reporting track data handling activities to ensure accountability and transparency.
Through these practices, Unlayer helps enterprises adhere to global privacy standards while enabling secure and compliant customer communications.
