1. Counting on Salesforce to handle it all

Experienced security pros aren't going to fall into the "they'll secure it" trap, but some smaller companies or IT shops with no security specialization do.

2. Not specifying a security program and owner

Recognizing a shared responsibility is first, and any responsibility needs an owner. RevCult found that many companies persistently lack clear security programs for the platform, the tools needed to support the program, and Salesforce security expertise.

3. Not classifying data

Not all data is not the same, so different types of information require different levels of security. This is a key principle recognized, for example, in the still-emerging zero trust security approach.

4. Not understanding workflows and processes across departments

Cross-functional blind spots persist around how a company’s Salesforce organization is actually used. Salesforce is a customizable platform, with workflows getting turned into custom configurations and settings. Often, those doing the configuration reside in lines-of-business or departments.

5. Misconfiguring APIs

It’s also important to keep in mind that some of the security issues involve Salesforce application programming interfaces (APIs). That’s especially relevant considering the amount of data coming in and out of Salesforce to support a multitude of end-to-end business processes.

6. Misconfigured communities or other elements

Salesforce is a big platform with a lot of different elements, options, and functions.

7. Not continually broadening the security effort

Security program ownership, as noted above, will help prevent or remediate basic errors. As Salesforce implementations expand, however, it will take the proverbial village to expand efforts to secure data from errors such as the communities configuration.
