Secure your Fivetran surface
Pipelines moving regulated data between systems, and destination credentials with broad write access. We don’t connect to Fivetran to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.

Where Fivetran goes wrong
Fivetran goes wrong by copying: replication moves regulated data into destinations whose controls are weaker than the source.
- Connectors replicating personal data into destinations with weaker controls
- Destination credentials with write access beyond the target schema
- Source credentials with read access beyond the tables synced
- Pipelines syncing columns that should never have left the source
- Data transfers crossing jurisdictions without a recorded basis
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Fivetran
On Fivetran we treat the connector inventory as data flow mapping, since this is where regulated data quietly multiplies.
- Pipeline inventory treated as data flow mapping, since this is where regulated data quietly multiplies across systems
- Column-level sync scope reviewed against data minimisation
- Source and destination credential scope reduced
- Destination control posture compared against the source's, because replication into a weaker environment downgrades protection
- Cross-border transfer recorded with its lawful basis
[03] Where It Lands
Where Fivetran lands in your registers
Every datastore becomes an asset register entry carrying its data classification, encryption state, and retention position. Access reviews cover database roles and grants alongside application access. The risk register maps each store to the specific exposure it represents — a production replica in a development environment is a named risk against a named asset, with an owner and a date.
[04] How We Engage
On Fivetran specifically
On Fivetran, we reduce credential scope and exclude columns that should not replicate. Pipeline redesign and destination hardening we plan with your data team.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Fivetran FAQs
What Fivetran access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs aPI credentials with read access to connectors, destinations and schema configuration. That covers pipeline inventory, column-level sync scope and credential permissions on both ends.
Why compare source and destination controls?
Because replication downgrades protection when the destination is weaker. Data governed carefully in a production database can land in a warehouse with broader access and no masking, which means the pipeline has quietly undone the controls protecting it.
