Process Safety Information Vaulting & Data Migration Services

Preserve critical process safety records, retire legacy systems and transition essential information into a sustainable operating environment.

Gateway helps organizations assess, preserve, organize and migrate Process Safety Information (PSI), including historical MOC, PHA, PSSR and other process safety records. Our approach supports business divestitures, acquisitions, platform replacements and modernization initiatives while maintaining access to the information needed for ongoing operations, compliance and audits.

Discuss Your Migration

Legacy systems cannot always be retained. Critical safety information must be.

Process safety information often accumulates over decades across specialized applications, document repositories, databases, engineering systems and shared file structures. Much of this information is interconnected and provides essential context for understanding previous decisions, modifications, hazards and operating conditions.

Divestitures, acquisitions, technology obsolescence and changes in IT infrastructure can create an urgent need to preserve this information before access to the original systems is lost.

Simply exporting files may not be sufficient. Relationships between records, document revisions, approval histories, attachments and supporting evidence can be lost when information is removed from its original environment.

?
Your transition strategy must answer:
  • Which legacy records must be preserved?
  • What regulatory and business retention requirements apply?
  • Can documents and their relationships be retained?
  • Which information must be migrated into active applications?
  • How will completeness and accuracy be verified?
  • Can the legacy platform be retired without losing critical information?

Divestiture Deadlines

Transitional service agreements and separation schedules can impose strict deadlines for transferring information and discontinuing access to parent-company systems.

▤

Regulatory Record Retention

Historical process safety records may be required to demonstrate compliance, support investigations and establish the basis for previous safety decisions.

↻

Technology Obsolescence

Unsupported databases, document management platforms and custom applications can become increasingly difficult and costly to maintain.

◎

Information Continuity

Historical modifications, hazard evaluations and operating decisions provide important context for future process safety activities.

✓

Audit Readiness

Organized, searchable records improve the ability to retrieve supporting information during audits, inspections and regulatory reviews.

◇

Platform Modernization

A structured transition creates an opportunity to establish improved information governance and reduce dependency on fragmented legacy environments.

Gateway applies a structured, risk-informed approach to information preservation and migration. The scope and sequence are adapted to the source systems, record requirements, business deadlines and target environment.
