What is data sovereignty?

Data sovereignty refers to the concept that data is subject to the laws and regulations of the country in which it is collected, processed, and stored. For example, many countries have strict regulations regarding the handling of personal data, especially sensitive information such as employee records. Adhering to data sovereignty ensures compliance with these regulations, avoiding legal consequences and penalties.

Salesforce recognizes the significance of data sovereignty for global businesses and offers solutions to help them comply with various regulations. For instance, Salesforce introduced the Hyperforce EU Operating Zone in early 2023 specifically for companies handling customer data within the EU. This service establishes three availability zones located in EU data centers and provides EU-based customer support and technical assistance. Additionally, outside of Europe, Salesforce operates data centers in the USA, UK, and Japan, along with availability zones in the Asia Pacific region, the Americas, and the Middle East. Thanks to Salesforce's data sovereignty provisions, flair users can enjoy compliance with local laws as well as global regulations.

What is a Salesforce security health check?

A Salesforce security health check is a comprehensive assessment conducted within the Salesforce platform to evaluate an organization's security setup. A summary score indicates how your organization compares to a security baseline, such as the Salesforce Baseline Standard. You can upload other custom baseline standards if you wish.

The process involves reviewing various aspects of security configurations, settings, and user access controls to identify potential vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or areas for code improvement. For example, assessing authentication methods and single sign on configurations can ensure that user credentials are adequately protected and that access to Salesforce is properly authenticated.

Visualforce pages often handle sensitive data and interact with various Salesforce functionalities. So, reviewing Visualforce code can help identify potential security weaknesses for threats like injection attacks.

What is Salesforce Shield Encryption?

Salesforce Shield Encryption employs advanced encryption techniques to safeguard sensitive HR data stored within the platform. This includes encrypting data "at rest" – when it's stored in databases – as well as "in transit" – when it's being transferred between users or systems.

This type of encryption allows organizations and HR departments to protect sensitive information such as employee personal details, salary records, and performance evaluations. Encryption assists organizations in complying with data regulations such as the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which recommends such information security. Salesforce Shield Encryption also offers auditing and monitoring capabilities, enabling administrators to track access to encrypted HR data and monitor changes to encryption settings
