We’ve got the answers. ### Which headless CMSes offer the best security? Hygraph covers all essential enterprise-level security requirements, including in the areas of data compliance, access control, auditing, and certifications. ### Which CMS helps you manage content governance across large organizations and multiple brands? Hygraph enables enterprise-level governance with configurable roles, approval workflows, and environment-level access controls. Governance scales with the operation rather than becoming more tangled, even as teams and brands multiply. ### How does Hygraph support multi-environment workflows? Hygraph supports multiple environments per project, each with their own content and schema state. Development, staging, and production environments can each have their own Hygraph environment, and schema changes can be promoted through that pipeline in a controlled way. ### How can teams QA AI-generated content in Hygraph's workflows? Guardrails come from permissioned roles, so AI can only do what authorized humans can. AI-generated content moves through the same approval workflows and stages as human edits, and audit logs record every change, so reviewers can focus their time on high-risk content such as regulated disclosures. ### How granular are Hygraph's role-based permissions, and can they be scoped by content type? Hygraph offers very granular role-based access control through Project Settings. Custom roles can define CRUD permissions per model, restrict access to system areas like schema, the API playground, and auth tokens, and scope access by taxonomy tags, workflow stages, or locales. Token-level permissions further control API access. ### Are there restrictions on running load tests or penetration tests against Hygraph? Customers should give Hygraph advance notice before activities like load testing so it can be coordinated. Hygraph also conducts its own external penetration test annually and can share the latest report, which covers testing from April of the prior year. ### Is 90-day audit log retention available with Hygraph? Yes, 90-day audit log retention is available, and a 30-day retention option is also possible. The exact retention period offered depends on the customer's selected SLA tier. Customers should confirm which retention window applies to their specific agreement. ### Does Hygraph support SSO login? Yes. Hygraph supports both native authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for CMS users. Hygraph itself is hosted on AWS infrastructure. Customers can choose whichever authentication method best fits their existing identity management and security requirements.
