Hi Figma team,


I’m writing because I desperately want to keep using Figma at my organization which is dealing with sensitive information and cannot allow cloud-based apps anymore.


Not working with Figma is like sending us to the Stone Age.

I know your official policy on this topic, but please, reconsider!


We need to keep doing amazing stuff through your amazing tool that is continuously innovating within our industry. (How can we turn back and use another tool that’s not supporting variables and Dev Mode the way you do?)


Hopefully, there’s a solution at some point!

Thank you!

Well there is European hosting? As long it’s ISO/IEC 27001 certified you are good to go.


Figma

“sensitive information and cannot allow cloud-based apps” sounds so 2010 to me and it’s no longer valid for me. If your company still sees it differently, my condolences. But then they are living under a rock and I work in the b2b finance secotor which is not known for being innovative.


And sry to tell you that but it’s not Figma who is sending you away it’s your company imho.


I wrote a little article about Figma vs Sketch. It was more of a summary of the process of how I got chrono24 from Sketch to Figma. Your journey or reasons of use could be different: Process optimization to deliver a better user experience (#2) - My Framer Site


If that’s not enough, then you might want to look for a new employer.


Don’t misunderstand, I’m not saying you should change employers because of Figma (tooling will always change), but rather because it shows the current mind-set of the company.


What surprises me is that you already have it in the company? Or have there been changes at management level and there is now someone there who thinks they have to change everything? Anyway, good luck!

Hi @Chris64


Yeah, it’s not about the mindset of the company of how much is the profile of the company (cyber/gov) which doesn’t leave much room for “negotiation”.


I bet there are many similar situations where a tool like Figma is welcomed by the management (so, not about the mindset), but limited by the security policies.

Use PenPot:




  1. Completely open source, so your very secure organization can check all the code




  2. You can self host it in your very secure organization




  3. Pretty much the same thing as Figma, definitely not stone age



ah cyber/gov… touché. 😅


Yes, then PenPot, as Gleb mentions, is interesting for you!

Thanks It is helpful
