AppExchange Security Review

The security review helps you identify security vulnerabilities that a hacker, malware, or other threat can exploit. Salesforce security review teams test your solution with threat-modeling profiles that are based on the most common web vulnerabilities. The teams attempt to penetrate the defenses programmed in your solution. Their goal is to extract or modify data that they don’t have permission to access, just as security threats attempt to do.

For more information about the most critical web application security risks, read the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top Ten awareness document. OWASP is a nonprofit foundation that works to improve the security of software.

We give you a report documenting the security vulnerabilities found during the review. We’re also available to meet with you and help you address vulnerabilities. Address the issues in the report, then submit the revised solution for a follow-up review. We offer multiple reviews for each submission, which enables you to fine-tune the security of your solution.

View the security review process as enforcement mechanisms paired with personalized advice and tools. You have access to office hours where you can directly connect with a security review team member to get guidance catered to your solution. Also, the security review team points you to security scanning tools that help automate the process of vetting the security of your solution.
