Cloud-Based Infrastructure That Puts Security First

Unlike traditional on-premises systems, Dynamics 365 Business Central leverages Microsoft’s secure cloud infrastructure. This model brings several advantages to the table, including automatic security patching, faster disaster recovery, and reduced system downtime. For businesses, this means greater operational continuity and less vulnerability to cyber threats. Cinter Technology helps clients navigate the transition from legacy systems to cloud-based environments, ensuring every component is securely configured and aligned with best practices from the start.

Smart Identity and Access Management

Business Central uses Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to manage user identities and authentication. It supports modern access protocols such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO), providing both enhanced protection and a simplified user experience. Access to sensitive business data is governed through Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), which allows administrators to assign permissions based on job functions. Cinter Technology assists organizations in setting up access structures that not only reinforce security but also promote workflow efficiency.

Precision Access with Granular Control

Within Dynamics 365 BC, access to data is controlled using permission sets, which define what users can view, edit, or delete. These sets can be tailored to specific roles and grouped for easier administration. In addition, security filters can be used to create record-level restrictions—ensuring, for example, that users only see data for customers in their assigned region. Our team works closely with clients to design these permissions structures in a way that supports business operations while minimizing risk exposure.

Environment Management and Data Protection

Dynamics 365 BC separates production, sandbox, and development environments, giving organizations full control over who can access which parts of the system at any given time. This separation reduces the likelihood of unauthorized changes during testing and development. Furthermore, all data is encrypted both at rest and in transit, using technologies such as Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) and SSL/TLS. With Cinter Technology’s guidance, companies can ensure these protective measures are correctly implemented and consistently monitored.

Proactive Monitoring and Compliance Readiness

The platform offers built-in telemetry and monitoring tools through Microsoft Application Insights. These tools track system activities, including login attempts and suspicious behavior, enabling proactive threat detection. Dynamics 365 BC also includes a detailed change log feature that records all updates to key master data and financial transactions—essential for auditing and compliance. Cinter Technology helps clients activate and interpret these logs, ensuring that internal and external audits are supported with transparent, reliable data trails.

Meeting Regulatory Standards Across Industries

Dynamics 365 BC is built to support compliance with global standards, including ISO 27001, ISO 27018, SOC 1/2/3, GDPR, HIPAA, and NIST cybersecurity frameworks. Whether a business operates in finance, healthcare, or manufacturing, it can rely on Dynamics 365 BC to serve as a compliant foundation. Our experts at Cinter Technology take it a step further by helping clients implement features that align with specific regulatory requirements, such as SOX reporting or HIPAA data handling policies.
