# Security best practices in Kommo

Keeping your Kommo workspace secure is a shared responsibility between Kommo and your team. Kommo provides built-in security tools — and configuring them correctly helps protect your data, users, and customer conversations.

This guide walks you through recommended security settings in Kommo, explains where to configure them, and shows how to monitor access over time.

## Recommended security settings

Start by enabling the core security features available in your workspace.

### Enable **two-step verification**

Two-step verification adds an extra verification step during login.

**Where to set it up**

- Go to **Settings → Profile settings**
- Enable **Two-step verification** for your account![](https://cdn.document360.io/56933ead-06fc-4574-95de-8fa458a5db1d/Images/Documentation/security-best-practices-in-kommo-image-shby9xlq.png)
- (Admins) Require two-step verification for the workspace if available

**Best practice**

- Enable two-step verification for all Administrators
- Require two-step verification for the entire workspace if you handle sensitive data or payments

This helps prevent unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised. [Read more about two-step verification here.](/v1/docs/new-kb-two-step-verification-setup)

### Set clear roles and permissions

Permissions control what each user can see and do in Kommo.

**Where to manage permissions**

- Go to **Settings → User management**![](https://cdn.document360.io/56933ead-06fc-4574-95de-8fa458a5db1d/Images/Documentation/security-best-practices-in-kommo-image-nmzhhzzx.png)
- Open a user profile to:
  - Assign **Administrator** access, or
  - Configure **custom permissions**![](https://cdn.document360.io/56933ead-06fc-4574-95de-8fa458a5db1d/Images/Documentation/security-best-practices-in-kommo-image-ay9n090n.png)

**Best practice**

- Grant Admin access only to users who truly need it
- Use custom permissions to limit access to:
  - Pipelines and stages
  - Data exports
  - Settings and integrations
- Review permissions whenever a user’s role or responsibilities change

Avoid giving full access to all users unless it’s necessary. [Learn more about how to set up roles and permissions here.](/v1/docs/new-kb-set-permissions-and-access-levels-setup)

### **Restrict access by IP address (optional)**

IP whitelisting limits login access to approved networks only.

**Where to manage IP access**

- Go to **Settings → User management**![](https://cdn.document360.io/56933ead-06fc-4574-95de-8fa458a5db1d/Images/Documentation/security-best-practices-in-kommo-image-mqs9kknv.png)
- Click the **three dots** in the top-right corner
- Select **Whitelist of IP addresses**![](https://cdn.document360.io/56933ead-06fc-4574-95de-8fa458a5db1d/Images/Documentation/security-best-practices-in-kommo-image-ml5y3t66.png)

**Best practice**

- Use IP restrictions only with trusted, static IP addresses
- Always add your current IP before saving
- Avoid IP restrictions for teams that rely on:
  - Mobile access
  - VPN connections
  - Changing networks

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Blocking untrusted API requests will disable Kommo mobile access.

## **Ongoing account monitoring**

Security isn’t a one-time setup — it requires regular checks.

### **Review active sessions**

**Where to check**

- Go to **Settings → Profile settings**![](https://cdn.document360.io/56933ead-06fc-4574-95de-8fa458a5db1d/Images/Documentation/security-best-practices-in-kommo-image-jqa67k2l.png)
- Scroll to **Sessions**![](https://cdn.document360.io/56933ead-06fc-4574-95de-8fa458a5db1d/Images/Documentation/security-best-practices-in-kommo-image-u63wea04.png)

Here you can see:

- Logged-in devices
- Last activity time
- Location and IP address

**Best practice**

- Log out unfamiliar or unused sessions
- Change passwords immediately if something looks suspicious

### **Review and clean up users**

As teams grow and change, access can easily become outdated.

**Where to manage users**

- Go to **Settings → User management**![](https://cdn.document360.io/56933ead-06fc-4574-95de-8fa458a5db1d/Images/Documentation/security-best-practices-in-kommo-image-9f4ox7bq.png)

**Best practice**

- Regularly review your user list
- Disable users who no longer need access
- Remove users permanently after reassigning their data
- Make sure inactive users don’t retain sensitive permissions

### **Monitor account activity**

Activity logs help you understand what’s happening in your workspace.

**Where to check**

- Go to **Insights → Activity log** (Pro / Enterprise plans)![](https://cdn.document360.io/56933ead-06fc-4574-95de-8fa458a5db1d/Images/Documentation/security-best-practices-in-kommo-image-batrl4j1.png)

**Best practice**

- Review changes to:
  - Settings
  - Pipelines
  - Permissions
- Investigate unexpected edits or deletions promptly

This improves accountability and transparency across your team.

## **Team habits that improve security**

Security tools work best when paired with good team practices.

Encourage your team to:

- Use strong, unique passwords
- Never share login credentials
- Log out from shared or public devices
- Keep browsers and operating systems up to date
- Follow security guidelines during onboarding

## **If something looks wrong**

If you notice suspicious behavior:

- Change affected passwords immediately
- Log out all active sessions if needed
- Review recent activity and access changes
- Contact Kommo support for assistance

Acting quickly can prevent further issues.

Following these best practices helps keep your Kommo workspace secure, your data protected, and your team working confidently.
