data and assess risk
Reduce the risk of data breach,
loss, or corruption
Automatically identify potential high-risk fields with prebuilt and customizable categorization templates.
Access dashboards that provide evidence-based risk scores and visualizations to track unclassified areas and identify key risk gaps within your organization, supporting data loss prevention.
Quickly identify risks from over-provisioning so you can control access management and avoid unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Scan your Salesforce instance at any point-in-time to discover risk, helping you quickly identify critical security gaps.
Do point-in-time reporting so you can generate reports that demonstrate risk remediation progress.
Get clear guidance on which remediation actions will most significantly impact your risk score and address the most critical vulnerabilities first.
View, compare, and review permissions across your users. Advanced filtering lets you quickly and easily zero in on high-risk field and permission access and ensure users are not over-permitted.
See what fields are still unclassified and bulk classify based on advanced filtering.
Anonymize potentially sensitive fields in sandboxes to prevent data leakage.
Offload dormant, inactive data from production to reduce unnecessary risk.
Reduce the risk of data breaches and potential reputational damage through risk monitoring and alerting. Proactively identify risks before they lead to security incidents or business disruptions.
Improve your ability to demonstrate continuous monitoring for infosec standards like NIST.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
