In today's interconnected enterprise environments, data synchronization platforms serve as critical infrastructure, moving sensitive information between CRMs, ERPs, databases, and other business-critical systems. This central role makes security not just a feature but a fundamental requirement.
The stakes are particularly high when synchronizing customer data, financial records, and proprietary business information in real-time. A security vulnerability in your synchronization layer creates risk across your entire connected ecosystem.
For mid-market and enterprise organizations, several key security concerns must be addressed:
This article examines how Stacksync addresses these concerns through its comprehensive security framework and compliance certifications.
Stacksync was built from the ground up with enterprise security requirements in mind. The platform maintains a robust set of security certifications and compliance frameworks that validate its security posture:
Stacksync has achieved SOC 2 Type II certification, verifying that the platform meets the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) criteria for managing customer data. This certification specifically validates:
Unlike SOC 2 Type I, which only assesses security controls at a specific point in time, the Type II certification requires rigorous testing over a minimum 6-month period to verify that security controls are consistently operational.
For organizations handling European customer data, Stacksync provides comprehensive General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance. This includes:
Stacksync allows customers to choose from over 20 global processing regions, ensuring data sovereignty and compliance with local regulations. For EU operations, data processing can be restricted to European regions exclusively, eliminating cross-border data transfer concerns.
Healthcare organizations and their business associates can leverage Stacksync's HIPAA-compliant infrastructure for synchronizing protected health information (PHI). The platform:
Stacksync's ISO 27001 certification demonstrates its adherence to the international standard for information security management systems. This framework covers:
This certification provides additional assurance that Stacksync's security controls meet globally recognized standards beyond North American frameworks.
For businesses serving California residents, Stacksync maintains compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), ensuring:
Beyond compliance certifications, Stacksync implements a defense-in-depth security approach through multiple protection layers:
Stacksync employs AES encryption for all customer data in transit between connected systems and the Stacksync platform. The system enforces TLS 1.2+ encryption for all communications, with automatic redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. Any data temporarily held within Stacksync's infrastructure (in queues or logs) remains encrypted at rest.
A key security differentiator is Stacksync's "no persistent storage" approach. Unlike traditional integration platforms that may store your data indefinitely, Stacksync acts as middleware, passing data through without retaining it long-term. This minimizes the attack surface and reduces potential exposure in the event of a breach.
Stacksync supports multiple secure authentication mechanisms for both platform access and connectivity to external systems:
Platform Authentication:
External System Authentication:
These capabilities ensure both the Stacksync platform itself and its connections to your business systems maintain strong authentication security.
Stacksync provides multiple options for secure connectivity between the platform and your systems:
Public Network Security:
Private Network Integration:
These options enable organizations to implement the right balance of security and accessibility based on their specific requirements and existing infrastructure.
Stacksync's security isn't limited to technical controls—it extends to operational practices:
Stacksync offers different security feature sets across its pricing tiers, allowing organizations to match security capabilities with their requirements:
Organizations with stringent security requirements typically select the Pro or Enterprise plans, which include comprehensive compliance certifications and advanced security features.
When evaluating security capabilities across data synchronization platforms, Stacksync offers several distinctive advantages:
Many organizations initially attempt to build custom integration code. While this appears to offer control, it often introduces security risks:
General-purpose integration platforms like MuleSoft or Boomi offer extensive capabilities but often with more complex security models:
Specialized tools like Heroku Connect offer limited integration capabilities with correspondingly limited security options:
A representative example of Stacksync's security implementation comes from LHT Terminals, a petroleum processing company with strict security requirements.
LHT needed to integrate Oracle, MySQL, and HubSpot while maintaining stringent data security. Their primary concerns included:
Stacksync addressed these challenges by implementing:
Stuart, a key stakeholder at LHT, specifically noted that Stacksync's security standards and transparent data flow were critical decision factors. The implementation successfully met LHT's security requirements while enabling the business benefits of real-time data synchronization.
To maximize security when implementing Stacksync, consider these recommended practices:
For organizations that depend on consistent, accurate data across multiple systems, security cannot be an afterthought. Stacksync's comprehensive security framework, built on SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 compliance, provides the foundation needed to synchronize mission-critical data with confidence.
The platform's multi-layered approach addresses security at every level, from encryption and authentication to network security and compliance. This enables mid-market and enterprise organizations to implement real-time, bidirectional synchronization without compromising on security requirements.
By selecting a platform with enterprise-grade security built in, organizations can focus on deriving business value from synchronized data rather than worrying about potential security vulnerabilities in their integration layer.
