An overview of platform security features is available here: https://docs.datastreamer.io/docs/security-faq#/
Capabilities to Support Data Protection Standards
Datastreamer offers several built-in capabilities to help your organization align with common data protection standards.
Capability | Description |
|---|---|
Field-Level Filtering and Redaction | Use built-in processors to remove or obfuscate sensitive data fields (e.g., emails, usernames, phone numbers) before data leaves the pipeline. |
Metadata-Driven Traceability | Every record carries metadata tags that support end-to-end traceability, including source attribution and timestamps. |
Secure Transport | All communication with Datastreamer APIs and interfaces occurs over encrypted TLS (HTTPS). All data processed within the platform is encrypted. |
Data Minimization Controls | You can selectively route, transform, or discard data to align with your organization's data handling policies. |
Data Flow Transparency | The Platform allows for detailed visibility into data pipelines — from source through to output — which helps during SOC audits where you need to show data provenance and access control. |
Customizable Security Controls | You maintain control over:
|
Continuous Data Motion | Any storage or resting of the data is determined by customer design. By default, all Datastreamer capabilities are designed to process data without it coming to rest. |
Using Datastreamer to support your compliance efforts
| Compliance Area | How Datastreamer Supports |
|---|---|
| SOC 2 | Customers can implement logging, access controls, and data filtering within Datastreamer to support their own SOC 2 controls. |
| ISO 27001 | Supports customer implementation of Annex A controls, including access management, logging, and secure communication. |
| GDPR / CCPA | Use filters to exclude or anonymize personal data, ensuring data sovereignty and minimizing PII in transit or at rest. |
| HIPAA | Datastreamer is not HIPAA compliant; use in healthcare contexts should be carefully reviewed with your internal compliance team. |
| Regional Requirements | Pipeline Regional Deployment allows you to deploy your Datastreamer Pipelines in any supported Google Cloud Datacenter. Ensuring data location processing requirements. |
As Datastreamer is a pipeline orchestration platform, it is not able to be certified under these frameworks directly. Processing requirements, steps, and methods are designed by the users of the platform.
Customers are responsible for validating its use within their own compliance context.
Best practices for compliance-aligned usage
To ensure responsible and secure use of Datastreamer:
- Audit your pipelines regularly to ensure no sensitive or unnecessary data is flowing through
- Use processors to redact, mask, or transform data to avoid handling personal information unnecessarily
- Restrict access to critical configurations within your organization.
- Log delivery and configuration activity for your own SIEM or internal auditing processes
- Document vendor usage of Datastreamer as part of your third-party risk management
