Safeguarding Your Salesforce: Top Security Measures Every Business Should Know

with No Comment BlogSalesforceSalesforce TipsSalesforce Tools

Salesforce, while being an industry-leading platform, is no exception to vulnerabilities. Yet, it offers a rich suite of security features, ensuring that with the right knowledge and practices, your business data remains secure. 

At Sandyx, our commitment to security is unwavering. Let us guide you through some of the essential measures every business should implement.

 

Profile and Role-Based Permissions

One of the foundational aspects of Salesforce security is ensuring the right people have the right access. By configuring profiles and roles judiciously, you can define who can see what and perform which tasks. This ensures that sensitive information isn’t accessible to everyone but only to those who truly need it.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Simple to set up yet vastly effective, 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide two forms of identification before accessing Salesforce. Even if login credentials are compromised, 2FA ensures that intruders can’t gain access without the second verification form.

 

Session Timeout Settings

It’s easy for users to forget to log out, especially when juggling numerous tasks. Setting an automatic session timeout can mitigate risks associated with unattended screens. If a user is inactive for a specified period, Salesforce will automatically log them out, preventing any unauthorised access.

 

Field-Level Security (FLS)

Beyond restricting object and record access, Salesforce allows for Field-Level Security. This feature lets you specify which fields within records are visible or editable to various users. So, even within a record, sensitive data fields can remain hidden from those who don’t require access.

 

Login IP Ranges

Limiting logins to specific IP addresses or ranges can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorised access. By doing this, even if someone has valid credentials, they can’t log in from an unknown or untrusted location.

 

Monitor with Event Monitoring

Knowledge is power. Salesforce’s Event Monitoring tool provides detailed visibility into your org’s data interactions. This not only helps in understanding user behaviour but also in quickly detecting suspicious activities.

 

Regularly Review and Audit User Access

Over time, roles and responsibilities within an organisation can shift. Conducting periodic reviews of who has access to what ensures that your Salesforce setup evolves in tandem with internal changes. This is vital to ensure that ex-employees or those who’ve changed roles don’t retain unnecessary access.

 

Stay Vigilant, Stay Secure with Sandyx

Security, much like technology itself, is ever-evolving. What makes Salesforce stand out is its continuous commitment to providing businesses with the tools they need to safeguard their operations. However, tools are only as good as their implementation.

At Sandyx, our experience and expertise align to provide businesses with a tailored approach to Salesforce security. From understanding the nuances of your operations to offering best practices in security configurations, we’re here to be your trusted Salesforce guardian.

Feeling the need for a security health check or keen to fortify your Salesforce setup? Let’s have a conversation. Trust in Sandyx to keep your Salesforce environment robustly secure.

The Hidden Gems of Salesforce: Underused Tools to Boost Business Productivity

with No Comment BlogSalesforceSalesforce TipsSalesforce Tools

Salesforce, the world-renowned CRM, is a treasure trove of tools that have transformed countless businesses. However, some of its most valuable pieces can be easily overlooked. 

We’ve come across several underused tools that can significantly boost your business productivity. Let’s unearth these hidden gems together.

 

Macros in Salesforce Service Cloud

Macros in Salesforce are sets of instructions that automate repetitive tasks. While it sounds simple, it’s a powerful tool to speed up response times and ensure consistent communication. Whether you’re sending templated emails or updating fields, macros can streamline it all. The end result? Faster case resolution and happier customers.

 

Data Import Wizard

While Salesforce’s Data Loader is well-known, many users often overlook the Data Import Wizard. This intuitive tool offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the data import process, especially beneficial for those who aren’t particularly tech-savvy. Bonus: It provides in-depth feedback on any errors during the import, so you’re not left in the dark about discrepancies.

 

Salesforce Console for Sales and Service

This is a multi-dimensional workspace designed to boost user efficiency. Users can view records, related records, or even lists without toggling between screens or tabs. For businesses that require quick navigation through vast amounts of information (think busy customer support teams), this feature can be a game-changer.

 

Einstein Search

Harness the power of AI with Einstein Search. Instead of standard search functionalities, Einstein Search personalises search results based on user behaviour and preferences. The more you use Salesforce, the smarter and more tailored your search results become, saving precious minutes and reducing manual hunting.

 

Dynamic Dashboards

Regular Salesforce dashboards give an aggregated view. But imagine if a sales rep could view a dashboard tailored just to their activities. Enter Dynamic Dashboards. They adjust in real time based on the user, providing insights specific to their role or activities. This enables faster decision-making and personal accountability.

 

Path

Often used in Sales Cloud for guiding the sales process, Path isn’t limited to just that. It can be utilised to provide guided steps for almost any process in Salesforce, from onboarding new employees to managing intricate projects. The visual representation keeps teams aligned and informed at every stage.

 

Unlocking Salesforce’s True Potential with Sandyx

Peeling back Salesforce’s layers reveals a myriad of tools waiting to be leveraged. The real beauty of Salesforce lies not just in its powerhouse functionalities but in the often-overlooked features that make everyday tasks a breeze.

However, understanding and implementing these tools requires a blend of expertise and experience. 

At Sandyx, we pride ourselves on both. Our smart yet personable approach ensures you’re not just using Salesforce but truly mastering it.
