Security & governance

Make Salesforce access, data handling and governance deliberate.

Review how users, integrations, apps and automations access business data. Establish least-privilege roles, ownership, traceable change controls and practical monitoring without assuming that a checklist alone guarantees compliance.

Scope and deliverables

Salesforce security and governance workstreams

Security work should be scoped to the org, connected applications, data classification, operating requirements and the client’s risk model.

01

User and access inventory

Review users, profiles, permission sets, roles, groups, inactive accounts and privileged access paths.

02

Sharing and data visibility

Assess org-wide defaults, role hierarchy, sharing rules, field access, record ownership and sensitive record exposure.

03

Connected apps and integrations

Inventory integrations, OAuth scopes, tokens, named credentials, service accounts and least-privilege requirements.

04

Automation and data protection

Review flows, Apex, exports, logs, backups, retention and potential unintended data movement.

05

Audit and change governance

Define who approves access changes, production changes, exception grants, periodic reviews and evidence retention.

06

Risk register and remediation

Document findings, affected assets, impact, recommended action, accountable owner and target priority.

Delivery principles

Make the outcome testable before the work scales.

Technology choices should follow the business process and operating context. Capture constraints and failure behavior early so implementation teams know what “ready” means.

01

Least privilege by default

Grant only the object, field, record and system access needed for a specific role or integration.

02

Governance that can be operated

Assign clear owners and review cadence to permissions, connected apps, exceptions and release decisions.

03

Evidence and traceability

Retain decisions and test results that show why a permission or control is appropriate.

04

Risk-based remediation

Prioritize findings according to business impact and exploitability rather than producing a generic score alone.

This service is a technical configuration and governance review, not a penetration-test certification, legal opinion or guarantee of regulatory compliance. Final acceptance belongs to the client’s security and risk owners.

How engagements work

A practical delivery sequence

A consistent sequence makes dependencies visible and reduces the chance that data, integration, permissions or operational needs are discovered at the end of the project.

Inventory the environment

Map users, roles, permissions, apps, integrations, automations and data classifications.

Assess exposures and control gaps

Compare observed configuration with the client’s security requirements and platform guidance.

Design and validate remediation

Test changes in controlled environments with affected roles and integration paths.

Establish ongoing governance

Document owners, review cadence, change controls and monitoring responsibilities.

Frequently asked questions

Questions to resolve before delivery starts.

Final scope depends on the products enabled in your Salesforce environment, access, architecture, licensing and acceptance needs.

Does a Salesforce security review certify compliance?

No. A technical review can identify configuration and governance risks, but compliance conclusions require the full operating context and appropriate legal, security and assurance stakeholders.

Can you review integration accounts and connected apps?

Scope can include OAuth scopes, credentials, service accounts, API access, permission boundaries and change ownership where appropriate access is provided.

Should all permissions be changed at once?

No. Changes need impact analysis, test evidence, a controlled rollout and rollback planning to avoid breaking valid business workflows.
