Submitting data to Onesurance
Onesurance supports a variety of data delivery and exchange methods, so we can flexibly connect to your organization. Our clear preference is for structural, automated links, but we always offer an appropriate solution for your situation.
All methods feature strict security, logging and data validation. During onboarding, we agree together on what fits best.
One-time versus structural
A one-time upload (e.g., for a pilot) is possible, but we recommend working with periodic, structural data delivery as much as possible.
Data delivery options (from most to least common)
Direct database linkage
Customer shall provide a secure, read-only database connection.
Onesurance retrieves the required data (periodically or on demand) through this connection.
Maximum automation and minimum manual operations.
Recommended for large volumes or frequent updates.
File drop on Azure Storage
The client periodically provides structured files (CSV, Parquet).
Uploading is done to a protected storage container in Microsoft Azure.
Onesurance processes the files directly through an ingest pipeline.
Suitable for users with limited integration capabilities.
File exchange is as follows:
Use Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer or SFTP for a secure transfer.
You will receive a temporary SAS URL by email to access the upload location.
See our separate guide "Sharing Data via Azure Storage Explorer" for a detailed step-by-step instruction of the steps below:
Download Azure Storage Explorer from the official site.
Install and start the program.
Pair with the SAS URL you received.
Choose 'Upload', select the file and confirm.
After upload, the transfer is immediately visible in the storage.
REST API
The client provides a REST API that Onesurance can access.
Suitable for partners who already provide data access through services.
Alternatives
In consultation, alternatives are possible, such as a (temporary) SFTP connection or transfer via Microsoft Teams (for small data sets).
Such methods are mainly for pilots, incidents or exceptions.
Security and compliance
All data connections are secure (TLS/SSL, encryption at rest and on the go).
Access is restricted to the period or datasets needed ("least privilege").
Logging records every exchange, including timestamp and user.
Data is stored and processed only in the agreed region (standard within the EU).
Any credentials or SAS links are never shared with third parties.
