Security features of the Cinchy platform

Data Security

  • All access through the platform must be authenticated. User management can take place directly through the Cinchy platform or existing identity provider / SSO (e.g Active Directory) using OpenID Connect. User and group-based management can also be synced from existing systems. All user login attempts and sessions are tracked and reported on through the platform.

  • All metadata within the platform is managed. This includes a changelog that exists on all structures and that tracks all data changes, including changes to access grants and table schema. 

  • Every request is logged, including user logins, sessions, what data is accessed or downloaded, and what data is synced into the platform. These logs are queryable at any point in time to provide full flexibility in monitoring changes.

Data Privacy

  • Compliance for data protection is supported by selector box data classifications that categorize data and can be used to create policies, create a data model column for opt in, and to write queries for opt in. 

Data Control

  • Controls on the platform are defined at the data layer which allows teams to set granular conditions for managing access. This functionality allows data owners to provide users with the minimum access they need to perform their duties. Conditions can take into account a variety of factors, including account information about the current user, groups, and any other data in the platform.

  • The platform also offers the ability to segregate duties on who can view or design table structures, manage entitlements, and modify data and control other permissions such as managing the ability to query, import, and export data.
