Aptly + SFTP + Secure File Exchange

Overview

Aptly provides a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) integration for organizations that require encrypted data exchange between Aptly and internal or third-party systems. This integration supports automated uploads and exports of key governance data — such as user records, authority matrices, and audit logs — ensuring data can move safely between systems that operate under strict compliance or network controls.
SFTP + Secure File Exchange gives enterprises a reliable, encrypted channel for synchronizing Aptly data while maintaining governance, confidentiality, and integrity.

Key Capabilities

Encrypted File Exchange
Aptly uses industry-standard encryption for all file transfers, including SSH key authentication and optional IP allowlisting. This guarantees that sensitive governance and identity data is exchanged securely.

Automated Imports and Exports
Organizations can configure recurring SFTP jobs to import workforce, position, or delegation data into Aptly — or export complete audit logs, authority reports, and historical data for archiving or regulatory review.

Flexible Configuration
SFTP connections can be configured with custom directory structures, filename patterns, and transfer schedules. This flexibility supports integration with HR, ERP, GRC, and data warehouse systems that rely on file-based synchronization.

Data Validation and Logging
Every file processed through the SFTP integration undergoes validation to ensure data accuracy. Each transfer is recorded in Aptly’s audit log, providing complete visibility into data movement and governance activity.

Seamless Integration with Security Policies
Aptly’s SFTP configuration aligns with enterprise IT and security policies for controlled data exchange — supporting static IPs, private key authentication, and compliance with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and similar frameworks.

Value to Organizations

SFTP + Secure File Exchange offers a controlled, compliant way to integrate Aptly into your organization’s broader data environment. It eliminates manual file handling, ensures secure communication between systems, and preserves full traceability of all data exchanges.
The result is a secure, auditable bridge between your governance data and other enterprise systems that meets the highest security and compliance standards.

Example Use Cases

• Secure HR Sync: Import employee and position data from isolated HR environments without exposing internal APIs.
• Governance Archival: Export full delegation histories and authority logs for long-term retention or regulatory submission.
• Finance Integration: Push authority matrices to ERP systems using scheduled SFTP delivery.
• Compliance Monitoring: Maintain continuous, encrypted backups of Aptly governance data for review or SOC 2 evidence.
