Data Security

Secure data relocation,
with no vendor in the middle.

Moving Salesforce data is the moment it's most exposed. The usual answer is to trust a vendor's cloud with it. Here the data never leaves your hardware. It flows from your source, through a process on your own machine, to the destination you control, and every record movement is signed so an auditor can verify it. That's what secure data relocation actually looks like.

The model

The vendor is never in the chain of custody

Most data platforms are a cloud service you send your data to, which turns every security question into "do you trust their cloud." The local-first model removes the question.

The tooling runs on your own hardware. There's no shared multi-tenant backend, no inbound network listener, and no shared credential store. The trust boundary is your own operating-system account. That single choice is what makes the security real instead of a promise: because nothing leaves the machine, there's nothing for a vendor to leak, subpoena, or lose.

The most common way regulated data gets exposed during a migration, sitting in a third party's staging environment, simply doesn't happen here. Your data moves from your source to your destination and never enters anyone else's system on the way.

How the security works

Four things that make a relocation secure

Zero data egress

Your records never upload to a vendor cloud. The move happens between your source and your destination, on your hardware. There's no copy of your data sitting somewhere you can't control.

Tamper-evident audit chain

Every record movement is hashed and chained, sealed periodically with a digital signature. Alter a single record and the chain breaks. Your auditor verifies it with a public key, on their own laptop.

Least-privilege access

Read-only where possible, scoped credentials, and separation of duties. The process touches only what the migration needs, and the credentials live in your own keychain, not a shared store.

Compliance, mapped

Controls mapped to SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR Article 32, with code paths cited. Procurement gets what it asks for without an email gate. See the Trust Center.

Where it matters most

When secure relocation isn't optional

Regulated industries

Healthcare, financial services, and government data that can't legally sit in an unvetted third-party cloud. Local-first keeps the data inside your compliance boundary the whole way.

FAQ

Common questions

What is secure data relocation?

Moving data into, out of, or between Salesforce orgs without it passing through a vendor's cloud. The data flows from your source, through a process on your own hardware, to the destination you control. Nothing is uploaded to a third party, and every record movement is recorded in a signed chain you can verify.

Is my data secure during a Salesforce migration?

Yes, because the migration runs local-first. No shared backend, no inbound listener, no shared credential store. There's nothing for a vendor to leak, subpoena, or lose, because the vendor is never in the chain of custody.

How do you prove it was handled securely?

Every record movement is hashed and chained, sealed periodically with a signature. Your auditor verifies the whole chain on their own laptop with a public key. The audit trail is yours to keep.

Do you meet SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR?

The controls are mapped to SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR Article 32 in the Trust Center compliance crosswalk, with code paths cited. Because the data never leaves your hardware, most of the vendor risk surface doesn't exist.
