2. Connect Data Sources

Unleash the Power of Your Company Data

‍Maximize the value of your data by connecting multiple sources for our AI to analyze. While individual platforms may offer their own AI capabilities, our solution integrates seamlessly across all your data sources, ensuring flexibility without locking you into a single vendor ecosystem.

Data Security

• Your data is stored in isolated, secure environments.
• Each data source has customizable permissions to control who can access its information.
• We partner with Fivetran, a trusted enterprise solution, to securely manage and transfer your data.

Tiering System

‍Our tiering system helps clarify expectations for the data sources we support. This system is continuously refined to ensure accuracy and relevance:

• Tier 1: Easiest to set up, typically containing less sensitive data.
• Tier 2: Requires more configuration to integrate.
• Tier 3: Most complex to set up, often involving the largest and most sensitive datasets.

Data Syncing

Each data connection has a default sync interval of 24 hours, so plan your data usage accordingly. This interval can be adjusted upon request. For larger datasets, the initial sync may take longer than 24 hours. If you suspect a delay, please contact us for support.

Permissions Overview:

• Data Owner: Responsible for managing the data source, with full read access and the ability to grant permissions to others.
• Read-Only: Can manage the integration connection and view data but cannot modify permissions.
• Integration-Only: Typically for IT teams or third-party contractors, this role allows connection setup without access to the data or permission management.

Reviewing Integration Access
When adding new users to Snowfire, you must explicitly assign their access rights. Following our least-privilege philosophy, new users have no access by default until permissions are granted, ensuring robust security.
