Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Wix.com excels in cybersecurity, with a four-year bug bounty program, enterprise-grade protection, and 24/7 monitoring. It holds certifications like Soc 2 Type 2, PCI DSS Level 1, and GDPR, with data secured via HTTPS/TLS and AES-256. Transparency is a recurring concern; while emphasizing web accessibility, Wix explicitly states its services are not HIPAA compliant. ESG reports allegedly lack quantitative data across key ethical areas, and SEC filings are reportedly inaccessible. Critics point to a Reddit post regarding third-party transaction fee transparency. Wix Payments prohibits the sale of endangered animals.
