HighLevel’s Commitment to Data Security and Compliance in 2025
Why HighLevel is now one of the most trusted, GDPR and HIPAA ready CRMs for UK businesses
At the recent HighLevel LevelUp 2025 Summit in Dallas, one of the biggest takeaways wasn’t a flashy new feature – it was a powerful message: data protection now sits at the heart of the platform.
HighLevel confirmed it is now HIPAA compliant, information security certified, and GDPR ready, with SOC 2 certification coming soon. For business owners and agencies using HighLevel as their all-in-one CRM, this announcement represents a huge leap forward in trust, compliance and credibility.
Why Data Security Now Defines the Best CRMs
In 2025, data protection and compliance are no longer optional.
If your business handles sensitive client information – from contact details to payments – your CRM must meet strict data standards.
That’s why HighLevel’s new compliance framework matters. It allows UK businesses to confidently say their CRM is GDPR and HIPAA ready, built to meet international security benchmarks.
For agencies managing multiple client accounts, this provides peace of mind that your systems are secure, compliant and scalable – the foundation of professional growth.
What Each Compliance Standard Means for You
HIPAA Compliance
HIPAA sets the benchmark for handling sensitive health or personal information in the US, and its standards are increasingly recognised globally.
HighLevel’s HIPAA ready CRM features ensure encrypted data handling, secure workflows, and restricted access – making it suitable for businesses in healthcare, coaching, and consultancy sectors where privacy is critical.
Information Security Certification
This certification confirms that HighLevel follows a verified data security framework, covering encryption, access management, and system monitoring.
For UK agencies, it’s reassurance that their client data sits within a professionally audited, secure CRM environment.
GDPR Ready CRM
HighLevel’s GDPR readiness brings European-level compliance to every UK account:
Transparent consent management tools
Easy data export and deletion options
Secure data processing across all integrations
This makes it one of the few CRM platforms for UK businesses that’s both marketing-friendly and compliant with the UK GDPR.
SOC 2 Certification – Coming Soon
The upcoming SOC 2 certification (from the AICPA) focuses on five trust principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Once complete, this will place HighLevel alongside enterprise-grade CRM systems trusted by banks, SaaS companies and regulated industries.
What This Means for Business Owners and Agencies
For MarketerM8 clients, these upgrades aren’t just technical – they’re strategic.

You can onboard larger, compliance-sensitive clients with confidence.
Your CRM operations are aligned with the latest information security standards.
You’ll spend less time worrying about data audits and more time driving growth.
HighLevel has effectively positioned itself as the secure CRM solution for UK SMEs and digital agencies, blending marketing automation with data integrity.
What We Learned at LevelUp 2025
At the LevelUp 2025 Summit in Dallas, the HighLevel team made one thing clear: the future of automation depends on security and trust.
They’re not just adding features – they’re building the world’s most compliance-ready marketing platform.
The event confirmed what we’ve believed at MarketerM8 for years – that automation, data and compliance can (and must) work hand-in-hand to help businesses grow responsibly.
The Takeaway: Secure Systems Build Stronger Businesses
For business owners, it’s time to view data security as a growth strategy, not a technical requirement.
With HighLevel now GDPR and HIPAA ready, SOC 2 on the way, and full information security certification, you can confidently scale your marketing and CRM operations without risk.
