Allow hosts
If you experience issues accessing Workiva or receiving emails, you may want to check to make sure you have certain domains on your allowlist at your organization. If you’re an IT admin, you can use the information below to allow domains and emails for your network.
Workiva is accessed through a secure HTTPS connection using TLS version 1.3. The URL is https://app.wdesk.com and https://eu.wdesk.com and https://apac.wdesk.com. It utilizes Amazon Web Services for IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service).
Note: Workiva uses HTTPS (TLS over port 443) for all communications to the platform.
Network policy options
Workiva works with Domain Name System (DNS) allowlisting using the URLs listed below. There are primarily two domains, app.wdesk.com and webfilings.com. If you allowlist *.*.wdesk.com and *.webfilings.com this will allow the application to access through your firewalls.
As an alternative SHA-2 certificates on our servers are current for wdesk.com and .webfilings.com domains.
Host and email details
The following table includes both US and EU allowlisting. If your organization uses US (app.wdesk.com), EU may be ignored. If your organization uses EU (eu.wdesk.com), US may be ignored.

Common questions
Can I choose to allow specific IPs?
Choosing to allow on specific IPs for Workiva will not work. The IP addresses used are too dynamic to provide optimum scalability. Workiva can enforce your IP allowlisting for your internal network as a security setting. Workiva does provide a unique environment through our pointers and indexing to ensure your data is only accessible by you.
Workivas utilizes a public deployment model. A public deployment model defined by NIST is "the cloud infrastructure is provisioned for open use by the general public. It may be owned, managed, and operated by a business, academic, or government organization, or some combination of them. It exists on the premises of the cloud provider."
