Reduce the risk of costly data breaches

Reduce the time spent on manually uncovering and remediating risks

Unlike some other applications, the constant in Salesforce is change. We're continually making updates to the system based on feedback we get from users, and so, along with that comes risk. That’s where having Secure really helps.

frequently asked questions

Who is responsible for securing Salesforce data?

Both the customer (the organization using Salesforce) and Salesforce itself share responsibility. Salesforce ensures platform security, while the organization must protect data through proper configuration, user management, and supplementary security tools like SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM).

What is SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)?

SSPM involves continuous monitoring and management of a SaaS application's security posture, ensuring compliance, detecting vulnerabilities, and implementing best practices to safeguard data. Using an SSPM tool is typically a best practice, as it can help organizations assess and manage risks to software applications like Salesforce that aren't addressed by the applications themselves.

What is Salesforce Shield?

Salesforce Shield is a set of integrated services built natively into Salesforce to help customers monitor, encrypt, and audit sensitive data. It includes Event Monitoring, Field Audit Trail, and Platform Encryption. Salesforce Shield is one of the most important tools for mitigating risk in Salesforce, but many companies who purchase Shield don’t implement it properly due to its complexities, something we help with at Own.

How does Salesforce handle data encryption?

Data encryption is a highly effective way to protect the confidentiality of digital information stored on computer systems and transmitted via the Internet. Salesforce encrypts data both at rest and in transit using industry-standard encryption algorithms. The platform also offers Shield Platform Encryption for additional encryption capabilities that help meet compliance requirements. One of Own Secure’s core features is simplifying and accelerating the Shield Platform Encryption process through field classification, business impact analysis, and easy encryption.

How can I control user access to sensitive data in Salesforce?

Salesforce allows administrators to control user access to sensitive data through profiles, permission sets, role hierarchies, and sharing rules. These tools enable control over who can view and edit data. It’s common that as your Salesforce org and users grow, it can be more difficult to manage and keep track of who can access what in the platform, creating the need for more granular monitoring capabilities.

Are there limitations of Salesforce's native data security measures?

While Salesforce provides robust data security features, there are limitations, such as the complexity of configuring security settings, limited granularity in access controls, and constraints with native encryption capabilities. Additionally, native audit and monitoring tools may not meet all compliance requirements, privacy regulations, and robust information security standards. Some native Salesforce security measures also involve manual setup, which can lead to human error. Customers and consumers have a right to data privacy, so many companies opt for security policies beyond Salesforce’s native measures.
