Backup & Security

Data Protection by Design

Kantivo treats security as foundational, not optional. From encrypted credential storage to granular access permissions, every layer of the application is engineered to safeguard your financial information.

Backup Options

Losing financial data can jeopardize an entire business. Kantivo provides multiple safeguards to ensure your records are always recoverable.

Manual Backup

Generate a full database snapshot with a single action. Store it on an external drive, USB stick, or any storage medium you prefer.

Scheduled Backup

Configure automatic backups on a daily, weekly, or custom cadence. Once set, they execute silently in the background.

Point-in-Time Restore

Roll back to any previously saved snapshot. Whether you need yesterday's data or last month's, recovery is straightforward.

Export to Excel

Download any dataset as a spreadsheet. Maintain portable copies in a universally compatible format.

Security Features

Password Protection - Authentication is required before any application access is granted
Role-Based Access - Define precisely which actions each team member is permitted to perform
Encrypted Passwords - Credentials are hashed using bcrypt and never stored as plain text
Audit Trail - Every data modification is recorded with the responsible user and timestamp
Secure Architecture - Built with industry-standard security practices at every layer

Layered Defense Approach

Kantivo applies security at multiple levels: authentication at the front door, role-based permissions governing what each user can see and modify, and comprehensive logging that tracks every change. This layered model ensures that even if one control is bypassed, others remain in place.

For professional accountants managing sensitive client data across multiple engagements, this kind of defense-in-depth is essential rather than optional.

Disaster Recovery

Hardware failures and unexpected system events do occur. With a recent backup in hand, restoring your complete financial dataset is a matter of minutes. Set up Kantivo on replacement hardware, import the backup file, and resume operations without relying on external recovery services or lengthy support queues.
