Salesforce Security Consulting
Lock Down Your Salesforce Security to Reduce Risk, Ensure Compliance, and Protect Revenue
With the recent security breaches related to Connected Apps, tightening your Salesforce org’s security is more critical now than ever. Our expert consultants can guide you through all areas of platform security.
Exposure Through Connected Apps
Salesforce is now requiring users to have a specific permission to be able to utilize uninstalled Connected Apps. Unfortunately, this is not a secure solution. With this permission assigned, users can authorize any Connected App to access your Salesforce Org on their behalf, even those they may encounter through social engineering attempts.
Get Your Assessment
Our team can provide an assessment of all Connected App utilization in your org, so you have a clear understanding of who is using what. From there, we can configure API Access Control to lockdown Connected App use to only allow assigned users access to specific applications.
Poorly Defined Permissions and Data Access
Often, orgs have too many users with advanced privileges. This takes the shape of overly assigning users as System Administrators, or custom profiles with unnecessary (and unsafe) advanced permissions.
Your Next Step
Our team can help you configure the Salesforce access principle of least privilege to prevent this issue. We can also help you limit access to specific records based on Org Wide Defaults and properly configure Sharing Rules. Even if a given set of users is able to access a set of records, we’ll set up protocols to lock down access to fields containing sensitive data on those records via Field Level Security.
Identity & Access Management
Weak authentication is a significant entry point for attackers targeting Salesforce environments. Many organizations still rely on basic username/password combinations, leaving critical business data vulnerable to credential theft, brute force attacks, and unauthorized access. Without proper identity controls, a single compromised account can expose your entire customer database, financial records, and proprietary business information.
Your Next Step
Our Salesforce consultants can help your team update login policies by:
- Enforcing multi-factor authentication; leveraging Single Sign-On
- Restricting IP ranges
- Ensuring server-to-server connections do not use username/password authentications, but rather advanced OAuth authentication methods, like the client credentials flow
We help you establish safe and manageable identity and access protocols for your Salesforce org that minimize unauthorized access vulnerabilities without negatively impacting its user experience.
Further Protection & Monitoring
Getting the proper policies in place is critical, but are you monitoring for potential concerns? Many organizations implement strong security controls yet miss what’s actually happening in their Salesforce environment. Without continuous monitoring, malicious activity can go undetected for months. Insider threats, compromised accounts, and unauthorized configuration changes often fly under the radar until significant damage is done. Another area of vulnerability lies in uploaded files, as Salesforce does not natively scan these for malicious content. Thankfully, third-party applications such as WithSecure offer comprehensive protection.
Your Next Step
Our team can help you configure processes to assess any unauthorized and unexpected changes made to your Salesforce org, monitor bulk jobs to look for potential data breaches, and potentially add and configure Shield Platform Monitoring to further enhance event monitoring. We can also assist with setting up third-party tools protecting you against harmful file content.
