Yes. All data is transferred over encrypted connections (TLS/SSL). We follow least-privilege API access, never store credentials in plain text, and log all sync activity for audit purposes. For Australian businesses with compliance requirements, we can implement additional safeguards.

We follow a structured testing process: unit tests for individual data mappings, end-to-end tests with sample data, and a staging period where we run the integration in parallel with your existing process. You review and approve the results before we switch to live. This approach minimises risk and ensures accuracy.
