Makini is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and undergoes penetration testing twice annually. We use industry-standard encryption protocols including TLS 1.2+ for data in transit and AES-256 for data at rest. Customer credentials are encrypted using secure key management practices. Our infrastructure follows security best practices including network segmentation, access controls, and regular security audits. For highly regulated industries or customers with strict compliance requirements, we offer self-hosted deployment options that keep all data within your infrastructure. We've successfully met security requirements for enterprises including financial institutions and government contractors.
Authentication errors (401 status code) typically occur for a few reasons: the API token is invalid or expired, the underlying system credentials have changed, the system requires reauthorization, or the token lacks necessary permissions. First, verify you're including the token correctly in the Authorization header. Check the connection status in the Makini dashboard—if it shows as requiring reauthorization, the customer needs to reconnect. If credentials were recently changed in the source system, you'll need to reconnect to obtain a new token. For persistent issues, check if the system account has sufficient permissions to perform the requested operation. If the problem continues, contact support with the request ID for investigation.
500-level errors indicate issues on Makini's side or with the connected system. These are typically temporary and retrying the request after a brief delay often succeeds. Implement exponential backoff for retries—wait a few seconds, then progressively longer intervals. If errors persist beyond a few retries, check the Makini status page for service disruptions. The error may also stem from the connected system experiencing issues rather than Makini itself. For persistent 500 errors, contact support with the request ID from the error response. Include details about when the error started, which operations are affected, and which connections are impacted. Our support team can quickly identify whether the issue is systemic or connection-specific.
When a system becomes unavailable, Makini detects the connectivity failure and marks the connection status accordingly. Scheduled syncs will fail with connectivity errors. API requests to the connection will return error responses indicating the system is unreachable. Makini continues attempting scheduled syncs using exponential backoff—initial retries happen frequently, then progressively less often to avoid overwhelming the system when it comes back online. Webhooks notify you of the connection status change. When the system comes back online, normal operations resume automatically. For temporary outages, no action is required. For extended outages, you may want to notify the customer. Connection credits remain consumed during outages since the connection configuration persists.
