DATA PRIVACY SALESFORCE


As a Salesforce enterprise user, ensuring data privacy and data security is essential for customer confidence and customer success. With Salesforce being a leading CRM platform for businesses, and with the snowballing trust in data privacy and security, this article will provide insight on how Salesforce enables companies to implement secure controls and procedures for maintaining data privacy. Salesforce has been accommodating to its enterprise users by providing the necessary tools and data privacy policies for customers. They have enforced over a dozen certifications for various applications. In addition to the certifications, their trust program ensures data privacy and compliance certifications of all types. These certifications ensure that customers’ data is secure, and data transmission is properly secured. Salesforce also provides users with dozens of data security controls, depending on what type of Salesforce product your enterprise is using. These include Three Dimensional Secure (3D Secure), Data Filtering, Geographic Containment, IP Geo Fencing, Access Management, Encrypted Modeling, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and more. With these controls and policies, enterprise customers can be confident that their data is secure. To ensure customer data privacy, industry standard protocols such as Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS), Data Leakage Prevention (DLP), Strong Authentication, Access Management Solutions, and Encryption and Data Segmentation are used. By applying these protocols, Salesforce customers can confidently know that their customer data is safe and secure. Furthermore, Salesforce provides enterprise search and data analysis technologies for customer data insight. This helps enterprises find the best combination of customer data to ensure that customer information is secure and compliant with relevant regulations. In addition, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Salesforce Platform Security features provide access control and fraud prevention. Finally, Salesforce provides release management, data backup and recovery, and security solutions for its enterprise customers. Release management helps enterprise customers ensure that data is not over-disclosed or over-exposed when implementing new technologies or features. Data backup and recovery solutions ensure that customer data is recoverable in the event of data being lost, deleted or corrupted. Lastly, the security solutions provide enterprise customers with end-to-end security for their Salesforce environment, including but not limited to authentication, access control, encryption, surveillance, data protection, vulnerability scanning, threat detection and prevention among other controls. In conclusion, Salesforce provides enterprise customers with the necessary tools and controls they need to ensure their customer data is safe and secure. All of the various certifications, protocols, analytical technologies, and solutions available to enterprise customers help to ensure customer data privacy and security. Companies should continue to invest in the Salesforce platform to keep customer data secure, ensuring customer confidence and, ultimately, success.
