Enhanced Data Security with IP Whitelisting Feature in SyncEzy Portal


We understand that safeguarding customer data is of utmost importance. As cyber threats continue to evolve, it's imperative for businesses to implement robust security measures. In line with our commitment to data security, SyncEzy is thrilled to announce the launch of a new feature within our portal – IP Whitelisting. This feature empowers clients to enhance the security of their database connections by restricting access to predefined IP addresses.

This paid feature is accessible for the following Power BI integrations:

simPRO to Power BI
QuickBooks Workforce to Power BI
PropertyMe to Power BI
KeyPay to Power BI

Key Features of IP Whitelisting

  1. Enhanced Security: IP Whitelisting ensures that database connections are permitted only from specified IP addresses, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
  2. Customizable Whitelist: Clients can add up to two IP addresses to the whitelist, allowing flexibility while maintaining security standards.
  3. Ideal for Fixed IP Addresses: This feature is particularly beneficial for clients with fixed IP addresses, offering an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access attempts.

How IP Whitelisting Improves Security

Traditionally, database connections rely on public IP addresses, granting unrestricted access to the database. While convenient, this approach poses security risks as any device or server can establish a connection, regardless of its IP address. By implementing IP Whitelisting, SyncEzy addresses this concern by allowing connections only from specified IP addresses, effectively mitigating the risk of unauthorized access.

Enabling IP Whitelisting

To enable the IP Whitelisting feature, clients will need reach out to our support team via email at support@syncezy.com, through live chat, or by phone. (Please note that this feature is available as an optional paid add-on.)

Once enabled, clients can add IP addresses by following these steps:
  1. Access SyncEzy Portal: Log in to your SyncEzy account at https://integrations.syncezy.com/.

  2. Navigate to Integration Details: On the integration page, locate the details tab and access the Database Access Settings.

  3. Verify Device IP: To determine the device's IP address, clients can utilize services such as IP Lookup. 

  4. Add IP Addresses: Clients can add up to two IP addresses to the whitelist. Additionally, they have the flexibility to delete existing IP addresses and add new ones as needed.


Please note that if you wish to revert to using the public IP address and disable the IP whitelisting feature in the future, you'll need to reach out to our support team. You can contact us via email at support@syncezy.com, through live chat, or by phone.
