Salesforce Security Guide
Salesforce is built with security to protect your data and applications. You can
also implement your own security scheme to reflect the structure and needs of your organization. Protecting your data is a joint
responsibility between you and Salesforce. The Salesforce security features enable you to empower your users to do their jobs safely
and efficiently.

Salesforce Security Basics
The Salesforce security features help you empower your users to do their jobs safely and efficiently. Salesforce limits exposure of data to the users that act on it. Implement security controls that you think are appropriate for the sensitivity of your data. We'll work together to protect your data from unauthorized access from outside your company and from inappropriate usage by your users. -
Authenticate Users
Authentication means preventing unauthorized access to your organization or its data by making sure each logged in user is who they say they are. -
Give Users Access to Data
Choosing the data set that each user or group of users can see is one of the key decisions that affects data security. You need to find a balance between limiting access to data, thereby limiting risk of stolen or misused data, versus the convenience of data access for your users. -
Share Objects and Fields
Give specific object or field access to selected groups or profiles. -
Strengthen Your Data’s Security with Shield Platform Encryption
Shield Platform Encryption gives your data a whole new layer of security while preserving critical platform functionality. You can encrypt sensitive data at rest, not just when transmitted over a network, so your company can confidently comply with privacy policies, regulatory requirements, and contractual obligations for handling private data. -
Audit and Monitor Your Organization’s Security
Track login and field history, monitor setup changes, and address your auditing and data retention compliance obligations. -
Real-Time Event Monitoring
Real-Time Event Monitoring helps you monitor and detect standard events in Salesforce in near real-time. You can store the event data for auditing or reporting purposes. You can create transaction security policies using Condition Builder—a point-and-click tool—or Apex code. -
Security Guidelines for Apex and Visualforce Development
Understand and guard against vulnerabilities in your code as you develop custom applications. -
