Recovery
All the data in the database is audited, all the changes done in a tenant in the PSA are logged. Our database team can provide you with the data that needs to be recovered. We cannot restore anything that was accidentally deleted. We have a restore option on the whole database for PSA as disaster recovery but not a row-level restore.
Data Export
All of your company's data on a UI and database level is accessible via our reporting module. You can create reports and export them. We also provide you with inbuilt system reports which can be cloned and modified for your use.
Imports
We have the facility to import data using the Import feature in the software. Module-specific templates are available and data is supported in Excel formats. For more information, see Importing Data.
Security
- Our system is cloud-based and the data is stored on different products like Azure, AWS, private, etc.
- Kaseya’s datacenter, the drives are encrypted at rest.
Security Standards and Compliance
The following is a list of security standards which BMS complies with.
- In support of a holistic and structured approach to managing information security, Kaseya has built an information security management system (ISMS) based on the generally accepted ISO/IEC 27001:2013 framework of the policies and procedures.
- Service Organization Control (SOC) 2, Type II compliance with the Trust Services Principles and criteria for security, availability and confidentiality.

Data migration
If you are migrating from a different platform we support data import. Other systems usually are imported through manual excel sheets. We support any platform that allows API's to download the data like Connectwise or Autotask.
For Tigerpaw we require a full DB backup from you as Tigerpaw has no APIs that we can use to download the data.
For information on how to import via Excel, refer to this guide.
