STRATAFOLIO implements several key security measures to protect user data and ensure operational integrity throughout its cloud-based property management platform.
Cloud infrastructure protection: The platform leverages secure, cloud-based architecture for data storage and processing, reducing on-premise vulnerabilities and supporting resilient operations.

STRATAFOLIO’s policy ensures that clients retain full ownership and control of their data throughout the use of the platform, with robust support for data portability.
Data ownership: All property, lease, tenant, and financial data input or synced into STRATAFOLIO remains the exclusive property of the client, not the vendor. Organizations have unrestricted access to their information at all times and can manage it as needed.
Portability: The platform provides clients with the ability to export their data in standardized formats, making it easy to migrate to another system, perform backups, or share necessary information with stakeholders or partners when required.
Seamless QuickBooks integration: Because STRATAFOLIO is deeply synchronized with QuickBooks Online and Desktop, data flows seamlessly for both reporting and export, giving users confidence in both ongoing access and future migration flexibility.
No vendor lock-in: Clients are not restricted from taking their data with them if they choose to discontinue the service, ensuring business continuity and control.
STRATAFOLIO offers flexible scaling options that allow organizations to adjust usage, features, and user levels as their commercial real estate portfolio evolves.
Modular subscription adjustments: Clients can easily add or remove properties, leases, or portfolio segments within their subscription to match changes in size or business needs.
User/license scalability: Organizations may increase or decrease the number of platform users, adapting as staffing needs grow or contract over time.
Feature enablement: Businesses can enable or disable automation, integration, and reporting modules to keep their software aligned with operational requirements and cost controls.
Immediate cloud deployment: All scaling changes are managed online through the cloud platform, allowing instant updates and access without complex IT setup or new hardware installations.
Cost transparency: Subscription rates are adjusted accordingly, ensuring clients pay only for the active resources and users they need, with no unnecessary overhead as business activities shift.
STRATAFOLIO employs standard SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) terms for contract renewal and cancellation, reflecting industry norms that prioritize flexibility, continuity, and customer data rights.
Automatic contract renewal: Subscriptions to STRATAFOLIO typically renew automatically at the end of each term unless the client opts out, ensuring uninterrupted use of the platform.
Notice period for cancellation or non-renewal: Clients are usually required to notify STRATAFOLIO in writing before the renewal date if they wish to discontinue service—commonly a 30-day or longer advance notice window, depending on the client agreement.
Early cancellation: If clients wish to cancel before the end of a prepaid term, they may be responsible for remaining fees for the subscription period, although terms may vary based on contract specifics and the size of the organization.
Data access and migration: Upon cancellation, STRATAFOLIO supports data export in a standard format to allow for smooth migration, protecting clients from vendor lock-in and ensuring business continuity.
Service access: Customers retain access to the platform for the duration of their paid subscription period following a cancellation request, giving them time to transition operations and data as needed.
Support during transition: STRATAFOLIO’s support team assists with the offboarding process, addressing technical questions and helping migrate data securely and efficiently.
