Salesforce is one of the most popular customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. Organizations can meet their business needs with Salesforce due to its highly configurable, customizable, and extensible platform that Salesforce has created. However, it’s for these same reasons that security vulnerabilities can creep into an organization's deployment.
Security assessments can limit the likelihood and impact of a potential attack by considering where the most sensitive data is stored and assessing the mechanisms by which it’s made accessible, both internally and externally. This insight makes it easier for organizations to prioritize vulnerabilities that pose the biggest risks to their business.
Any of the following types of assessment could be applicable:
- Configuration review
- Code review
- Web application assessment
- Web services assessment
- Threat modelling
When evaluating your security posture, we consider not just Salesforce's own best practices but long-standing security principles that apply just as much today as they did in the pre-cloud days when they were first established. It’s also very much a collaborative effort. By understanding how you have customized Salesforce, we can focus on the areas of greatest concern. By understanding why you have customized Salesforce, we can consider business needs. All this means we can better assess the risks and so deliver the best value.
