Advanced Data Security Measures
Beyond certifications, we ensure your ERP implementation includes comprehensive security measures that protect your data throughout its entire lifecycle.
Encryption Standards
Data encryption is fundamental to protecting sensitive business information. We verify that your ERP provider implements industry-leading encryption standards:
Data at Rest
- AES-256 encryption for databases
- Encrypted file storage systems
- Secure key management (HSM integration)
Data in Transit
- TLS 1.3 for all network communications
- Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS)
- Certificate pinning for mobile applications
Access Control & Authentication
Robust access controls ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data. We verify implementation of comprehensive access management:
Authentication Methods
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) required
- Single Sign-On (SSO) integration
- Biometric authentication support
- Password complexity and rotation policies
Authorization Controls
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Attribute-based access control (ABAC)
- Least privilege access principles
- Privileged access management (PAM)
Data Residency & Geographic Considerations
Understanding where your data will be stored geographically is crucial for compliance with data residency requirements and data sovereignty laws.
Regional Data Storage Options
Many countries and regions have specific requirements about where data can be stored. We help you understand and comply with these requirements:
Data Sovereignty
Ensure your data remains within specific geographic boundaries as required by local regulations. We verify provider capabilities for region-specific data storage.
Cross-Border Transfers
Understand data transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and adequacy decisions for GDPR compliance when data crosses borders.
Backup & Disaster Recovery Locations
Verify that backup and disaster recovery data storage locations also comply with your data residency requirements.
Regulatory Compliance
Industry-specific regulations may require data to be stored in specific regions. We ensure your implementation meets these requirements.
Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity
Reviewing your provider's disaster recovery and backup procedures ensures your data is protected against loss or breaches, maintaining business continuity even during adverse events.
Automated Backups
Regular automated backups with configurable retention policies. Point-in-time recovery capabilities allow restoration to specific moments before data loss or corruption occurred.
Recovery Time Objectives
Clearly defined Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) ensure your business can resume operations within acceptable timeframes with minimal data loss.
Geographic Redundancy
Data replicated across multiple geographically dispersed data centers ensures availability even if one location experiences an outage or disaster.
Failover Testing
Regular disaster recovery testing ensures failover procedures work as expected. We verify that providers conduct and document regular DR tests.
Business Continuity Planning
Comprehensive business continuity plans that address various disaster scenarios, ensuring your operations can continue with minimal disruption.
Data Integrity Verification
Automated integrity checks ensure backup data remains uncorrupted and can be successfully restored when needed.
