·Fivetran is committed to providing a robust security program that protects each customer's information that is used and processed by Fivetran for providing our products and services. The following security documentation describes the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards Fivetran maintains for protecting the security, confidentiality, and integration of Customer Data while connecting, replicating, and loading data from all your data sources. To learn about Fivetran security in detail, see our security white paper. Any terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Fivetran Master Subscription Agreement.
·Fivetran offers the following deployment options so you can choose where your data moves between the source and destination:
·Learn more about our deployment models in our Deployment Models documentation.
·At Fivetran, we are committed to keeping our systems, data, and product(s) secure. Despite the measures we take, security vulnerabilities will always be possible.
·If you believe you've found a security vulnerability, please email us at security@fivetran.com. Include the following details with your report:
·Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations as well as destruction, interruption, or segregation of services and/or data.
·Access to Fivetran production infrastructure is only allowed using hardened bastion hosts, which require an active account protected by MFA (multi-factor authentication) to authenticate. Further access to the environment and enforcement of least privilege is controlled by IAM (identity and access management) policies. Privileged actions taken from bastion host are captured in audit logs for review and anomalous behavior detection.
·Physical and environmental security is handled entirely by our cloud service providers. Each of our cloud service providers provides an extensive list of compliance and regulatory assurances, including SOC 1/2-3, PCI-DSS, and ISO27001.
·See the Google Cloud Platform compliance, security, and data center security documentation for more detailed information.
·See the Amazon Web Services compliance, security, and data center security documentation for more detailed information.
·See the Azure compliance, security, and data center security documentation for more detailed information.
·We use data minimization to limit: how often we access customer data for troubleshooting, direct access to customer data, and what we use when we interact with customer data, such as the use of obfuscated data rather than raw customer data values. We have tightly controlled troubleshooting environments with strict technical security safeguards, including: role-based access controls (SSO, reviews, etc.), logical separation, obfuscation, pseudonymization, short retention (obfuscated data is retained for 1 week), and secure storage.
·By using Fivetran Activations, you provide approval for the following limited access: We may view your data within the product user interface solely in the course of troubleshooting to resolve Fivetran Activations errors that you raise to us. This includes observability features in the user interface that show samples of customer data. For example, records that are sent in syncs, and previews of query results from datasets set up by a customer. The visibility of data in Fivetran Activations and what we can access is determined by what permissions you grant in the set up of connected integrations (such as sources and destinations). You can employ additional controls, like designating a column as PII, which will prevent a column with a PII designation from being displayed within the user interface. In most cases, Fivetran Activations data is only stored for the duration of an activation sync, see the Activations Security & Privacy documentation for more details and exceptions to this policy.
·Transport Layer Security (TLS, also referred to as Secure Socket Layer, HTTPS, or SSL) is one of the encryption methods that Fivetran uses to secure data in motion. TLS allows for both encryption and authentication of the connections that Fivetran makes to your data sources and to your destinations.
·Fivetran connections made over TLS are always encrypted, and support automatic verification for connections that use hostname verification (such as web-based applications), and for proprietary systems with built-in certificate authority management such as Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift.
·For other connections, such as customer operated databases, we support verifying a certificate using root certificate authority verification.
·Connections require a user to explicitly select the certificate to use as the trust anchor. Customers who use self-signed certificates for their databases can do the verification based on the fingerprint of the certificate, and customers who use a certificate authority model can select the authority which Fivetran should validate against.
·The account page in your Fivetran dashboard includes a section where your security team can audit all the trust selections that have been made within your Fivetran configuration. You have the option to revoke the trust of a certificate at any time. Once a certificate's trust has been revoked, you will need to re-run the setup tests for any affected connections to select the new certificate and resume data replication.
