User permissions are a deceptively large aspect of a Salesforce data security strategy. It’s easy for IT security teams to become so focused on external threats that they fail to consider insider threats. There’s always the possibility that a disgruntled employee could corrupt or even steal some sensitive system data, but that’s not the only way your team members pose a threat. A simple accidental deletion could also lead to costly outages and lost data. The good news is that you can address both of these possible threats by updating the permissions afforded to each team member. Utilize a Salesforce policy scanner to ensure each team member is only able to access the data they need to perform their job duties and nothing more. Overexposed data is more likely to experience accidental deletion.
