GutCheck: NetSuite history extracted for record retention, through a vendor security audit

GutCheck, a full-service market research provider, had to extract every record from NetSuite, from day one of the account, to meet its financial record-retention requirements. Any vendor doing that work would first have to pass the company's onboarding and information-security audit.

They covered their bases well and knew exactly what we needed ahead of us asking.

The situation

Record-retention rules do not care which system the records were created in. GutCheck needed all of its NetSuite data, from the first day of the account, extracted and delivered in forms it could keep: raw CSV files, a MySQL database, and everything in the File Cabinet. Because the vendor would be handling financial data, it also had to get through a vendor onboarding and information-security audit that the reviewer describes as fairly laborious, and that would have been a deal-breaker had Blueacrobat not been willing to go through it.

What Blueacrobat did

Blueacrobat completed the audit, then extracted the full history and delivered it as CSV and as a MySQL database, together with all File Cabinet contents. Communication ran over email and messaging.

The outcome

The deliverables arrived ahead of GutCheck's firm deadlines. What stood out for the head of IT was preparedness: the team knew what was needed before being asked. Asked what could have been done differently: not a thing.

In their words

  • “They delivered items ahead of our firm deadlines.”
  • “They were willing to work with us through a fairly laborious vendor onboarding and information security audit, which would've been a deal-breaker.”
  • “I would not have changed a thing.”

Blueacrobat is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type 2 audited, which is what a security review is checking for; the Trust Centre has the detail. GutCheck used AcroXtract for the records and AcroFile for the File Cabinet.
