Security

At harmon.ie, we prioritize not only your data's security but also its sovereignty. We take pride in our promise that your essential data remains strictly within the boundaries of your tenant and will never be trafficked, processed, or stored outside of these secure confines. By partnering with harmon.ie, you're choosing a platform steadfast in its dedication to the highest levels of security, compliance, and data protection. Your trust is our responsibility, and we endeavor to uphold it every single day.

How we secure your data

Data security is more than just a component of information management at harmon.ie. Our approach to security has three key elements–design, standards, and best practices for application development. Let’s examine how these three elements combine to secure your data.

Designed from the ground up with your security in mind

  • Information Stays on Your Tenant

    The harmon.ie plugin resides exclusively within your Microsoft tenant or on-premises servers, so your emails, files, and data are protected by all the security precautions, practices, and technology already protecting your current Microsoft environment. That means there’s no risk of data leakage, theft, or manipulation because your data never leaves your premises. Even better, harmon.ie leverages your existing Microsoft environment permissions, for more seamless integration without additional steps to secure your emails and files.

  • M365 Admin Consent

    harmon.ie users will be able to search SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams, but only the sites and folders provisioned to them. Features in harmon.ie may require admin consent to ensure fully secure and compliant usage.

  • Data Security Enhancements in the New harmon.ie

    While building the new harmon.ie as an add-in for the new Outlook we made additional architectural decisions to further secure your data. The new harmon.ie is built on a secure Azure cloud architecture—which holds its own host of certifications—and we leverage a resource called Static Web App. Additionally, all network traffic is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2).

  • Microsoft 365 Certification for New harmon.ie

    In recognition of our security-forward approach, Microsoft has certified that the new harmon.ie add-in meets the rigorous standards of the Microsoft 365 App Compliance program.

Best Practices

Best practices for the design and development of secure applications at harmon.ie include:

  • Principle of Least Privilege (POLP). This means that we designed harmon.ie’s access controls to ensure end users have the minimal needed rights for the applications, database, and infrastructure.
  • User access control. All users are limited to role-based controlled access (i.e. read, write, and modify) to information and applications accessed via harmon.ie, mirroring their Microsoft 365 rights.
  • No access for us. Because your data stays in your environment, no harmon.ie employees have direct access to your data and have no way to download private information under any circumstances.
  • Audit log. An audit log tracks user history, so you can always see who changed what and when.
  • Security policy. harmon.ie maintains a detailed security policy and updates it regularly.
