Bubble.io compliance — the honest verdict on every standard.
One page per standard. Each answers a single question: can a Bubble.io app actually meet this, and if not, what does honestly fixing it cost in time and money? Sourced from Bubble’s own manual and the regulators — no marketing, no hand-waving.
Explicit decline
Bubble says: don't use the platform for this.
Partial / inherited
Bubble has it at the platform layer — your app still needs evidence.
Conditional
Achievable with the DPA + Enterprise tier + careful design.
Silent
No published position — verdict comes from architectural limits.
Healthcare
Where Bubble flat-out declines.
If you touch Protected Health Information, Bubble's own manual recommends against the platform and refuses to sign a BAA. There's no try-harder path — only honest carve-outs or full rebuilds.
01No HIPAA
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
Bubble's own docs say apps built on Bubble won't achieve HIPAA compliance. Here's what that means and the three honest paths forward.
healthcaretelehealthmental-healthwellnessUnited StatesReviewed May 202602Not officially HITRUST
HITRUST CSF (Common Security Framework)
HITRUST is the gold standard for healthcare data security. Bubble has no HITRUST certification. Here's what that means and your options.

Enterprise security
The procurement gates that close every B2B deal.
SOC 2 is the one standard Bubble actually has (Security category only, platform level). Everything else here — ISO 27001, NY DFS 500, SOX, PCI DSS — is on you to evidence on top of Bubble or rebuild around.
03Partially SOC 2
SOC 2 Type II
Bubble has SOC 2 Type II at the platform level — but the compliance doesn't transfer to your app. Here's what enterprise buyers actually ask.
b2b-saasenterpriseUnited StatesReviewed June 202604Not officially ISO 27001
ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management
ISO 27001 is the international information-security standard. Bubble has no certification. What that means for enterprise sales outside the US.
b2b-saasenterpriseInternationalReviewed June 202605Not officially NY DFS 500
New York DFS 23 NYCRR 500
23 NYCRR 500 applies to anyone doing financial services in NY. Bubble has no DFS-specific guidance — here's the practical impact.
fintechinsurancebankingNew York, United StatesReviewed June 202606Not officially SOX
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
SOX applies to public companies and their financial controls. If you're on Bubble pre-IPO, here's what changes.
b2b-saasfintechpublic-companiesUnited StatesReviewed June 2026
Payments + financial
Where tokenisation is the workaround.
Bubble tells you not to touch cardholder data. Stripe Elements and equivalent hosted fields keep CHD off your servers entirely, dropping you to SAQ A. Rebuild only when Level 1 or SAQ D is in scope.
Privacy + data protection
DPA + Enterprise region usually solves it.
Bubble publishes a GDPR-compliant DPA covering SCCs and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. For most EU/UK/Brazil/Singapore/Australia deals, Bubble Enterprise in the right region is enough. Rebuild only when strict residency or sub-processor controls force it.
08Yes, with caveats GDPR
General Data Protection Regulation
GDPR is achievable on Bubble in theory but constrained in practice. Data residency, DPA, processor obligations — what to know.
b2b-saasconsumerecommerceEuropean Union + EEAReviewed June 202609Yes, with caveats UK GDPR
UK General Data Protection Regulation
Post-Brexit the UK has its own data-protection regime. Here's how Bubble fits and where it falls short for UK enterprise buyers.
b2b-saasconsumerUnited KingdomReviewed June 202610Yes, with caveats CCPA / CPRA
California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act
CCPA applies the moment a Californian uses your app. Bubble's architecture limits some opt-out and deletion controls — here's how.
b2b-saasconsumerecommerceCalifornia, United StatesReviewed June 202611Yes, with caveats LGPD
Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados
LGPD is Brazil's GDPR equivalent. Bubble has no Brazil-specific stance. What that means for Brazilian fintech + B2B SaaS.
b2b-saasconsumerBrazilReviewed June 202612Yes, with caveats PIPEDA
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act
PIPEDA governs commercial data in Canada. Bubble can fit with effort — here's where the friction is.
b2b-saasconsumerCanadaReviewed June 202613Yes, with caveats PDPA (Singapore)
Personal Data Protection Act, Singapore
Singapore PDPA applies if you do business in SG. Bubble's data residency and DPA setup — what to know for APAC sales.
b2b-saasfintechSingaporeReviewed June 202614Yes, with caveats Australian Privacy Act
Privacy Act 1988 + Australian Privacy Principles
Australia's 13 APPs govern how you collect and store data. Bubble fits with caveats — here's the practical impact.
b2b-saasconsumerfintechAustraliaReviewed June 2026
Industry-specific
Sector rules that don't bend.
Defense, federal, education, kids, and non-bank financial each have their own gate. Some (CMMC, FedRAMP) are fatal on commercial Bubble; others (FERPA, COPPA, GLBA) are workable with a real DPA and the right architecture.
15Not officially FERPA
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
FERPA governs student educational records. Bubble has no FERPA position — here's what edtech founders need to know.
edtechUnited StatesReviewed June 202616Not officially GLBA
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
GLBA governs how financial institutions handle nonpublic personal information. Bubble has no GLBA stance — here's the practical impact.
fintechbankinginsuranceUnited StatesReviewed June 202617Yes, with caveats COPPA
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
COPPA applies to any app that knowingly collects data from under-13s. Bubble can fit with strict configuration — here's how.
edtechconsumerUnited StatesReviewed June 202618No CMMC
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
CMMC is required for DoD contractors. Bubble's shared infrastructure makes CMMC essentially unreachable.
defensegovernment-contractorUnited States (DoD)Reviewed June 202619No FedRAMP
Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program
FedRAMP is required to sell SaaS to the US federal government. Bubble has no FedRAMP authorization — and no path to one.
government-contractorpublic-sectorUnited States (Federal)Reviewed June 2026
Accessibility
Code semantics, not the host.
Accessibility lives in the generated DOM, not the database. Bubble's auto-generated HTML/CSS/JS often fails screen-reader tests. Rebuilding the front-end on Next.js is the reliable path to a defensible VPAT/ACR.
None of these quite fit?
