How We Ensure Data Security and Integrity During a SaaS Migration

Data Securtity and Integrity is paramount for us at ClonePartner in each migration. Learn more about the practices we follow in this post.

Migrating data can be complex, especially with sensitive information. We ensure security and integrity with these key practices:


  1. NDA and Compliance

We establish a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect sensitive information whenever necessary. We strictly follow compliance standards like SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR. For instance, during a recent migration involving a fertility clinic, HIPAA and GDPR compliance were essential to securely handle medical records and ensure privacy.


  1. Secure Credentials

To protect sensitive information like API keys and login credentials, we use secure tools like onetimesecret.com, ensuring they aren’t exposed in unsecured channels.


  1. Handle Data Transfers Securely

We support API-based, JSON-based and CSV-based migrations for flexibility. Using the client’s preferred storage solution—such as Google Drive or OneDrive—ensures data is transferred securely and efficiently.


  1. Use a Temporary Database

During migration, we use a temporary database to store data safely without impacting the live environment. This approach ensures both **security** and **integrity** throughout the migration process.


  1. Delete and Notify

Upon completion, we delete any temporary data and notify the client of successful deletion, ensuring compliance and building trust.


  1. Data Validation and Integrity Checks

We conduct data validation checks at every stage, comparing source and destination data to identify discrepancies and ensure consistency throughout the migration.


  1. Encryption in Transit and at Rest

All data is encrypted both during transfers (using TLS) and at rest (using AES-256), ensuring complete security throughout the migration.


  1. Sample Migration and Documentation

We perform sample migrations with a subset of data to identify issues early. A detailed migration plan ensures a seamless process with minimal downtime.


  1. Monitor and Log Activities

We monitor and log all data activities, ensuring transparency, auditing, and troubleshooting capabilities, which reinforce data security.


  1. Post-Migration Testing

Post-migration, we validate data completeness and functionality, ensuring everything works as expected. Supporting all options to import data - API, JSON and CSV formats gives us flexibility in verifying data completeness & accuracy.


  1. Backup and Disaster Recovery

We always create a full backup of the data before migration. This ensures that, in case of any issues, we can recover data quickly and safeguard client information.
