Figma now extends support for government accounts in its desktop app, enabling public sector designers to access Figma with specialized security features, offline capabilities, and compliance with regulatory controls.

Government teams can benefit from:

  • Stronger security controls tailored to public sector requirements
  • Offline access via the desktop client even when internet connectivity is limited
  • Seamless integration with existing government IT frameworks

This move reflects Figma’s commitment to expanding its reach into regulated environments, ensuring that design workflows across sectors like defense, healthcare, and civic technology can leverage modern tools without compromising on compliance or performance.
