Security Benchmark for Salesforce

Salesforce is one of the most secure enterprise platforms in operation, but recent incidents show that security failures rarely stem from the platform itself. They emerge from how it’s implemented and managed at scale.

The Security Benchmark for Salesforce (SBS) defines what a securely operated Salesforce environment should look like in practice. It establishes a set of clear, verifiable conditions that organizations can use to assess posture, reduce risk, and improve resilience over time.

This datasheet outlines the structure, scope, and intent behind SBS, including how its controls are defined, how they align to broader frameworks, and how organizations can use the benchmark to bring consistency and accountability to Salesforce security.
