1. Masks Sensitive Data ▪ Perhaps the top way a Salesforce data loader can protect your sensitive information is by masking it. This is a security technique that obfuscates sensitive data so that even if the folder is exposed, the data itself remains hidden. 3/11/2022 www.autorabit.com 3
2. Randomizes Data Entry ▪ The mechanics of masking sensitive data will vary between instances, tools, and your particular needs. However, randomizing the characters of sensitive data is an important function of a Salesforce data loader. ▪ FIPS 140-2 is a security standard set forth by the US government to describe approved cryptographic modules. 3/11/2022 www.autorabit.com 4
3. Carries Over Configurational Data ▪ Populating multiple environments with shared data is a major function of a Salesforce data loader. This is a quick and easy way to increase productivity and diminish down time. However, this transfer of data needs to be performed securely in order to remain in compliance with security standards. ▪ Migrating field-level configurational data helps unify security techniques while also standardizing team member procedures. 3/11/2022 www.autorabit.com 5
4. Preserves Metadata Hierarchies ▪ Related fields and objects are driven by metadata. And when information is lost between broken chains of linked fields, data security issues can soon follow. Populating a new org with pre-established hierarchies ensures there’s no confusion that leads to lost or misplaced information. ▪ Metadata needs to be cared for as much as any other type of system data. A Salesforce data loader encompasses the totality of your org, so everything is migrated properly. 3/11/2022 www.autorabit.com 6
5. ImprovesData Governance ▪ Tracking and maintaining a reliable pool of data is important for the proper functionality of your Salesforce environment. Knowing which areas contain sensitive information will also allow you the ability to adequately protect data that might be subject to data security regulations. ▪ A Salesforce data loader helps organize data sets by maintaining parent/child relationships in migrations, deleting multiples of data sets, and more. 3/11/2022 www.autorabit.com 7
6. Unifies Processes ▪ Accidental deletions and exposures of sensitive or otherwise protected data are unfortunately common occurrences. This happens when team members become confused, don’t know what they are dealing with, or simply make mistakes. Maintaining consistent functionality and structures are essential to minimizing costly accidents. ▪ Sharing objects and records between orgs unifies efforts to keep data structures and functionalities consistent. 3/11/2022 www.autorabit.com 8
7. Enables Rapid Development ▪ Automation has become widely used in the DevOps world. There are a variety of tools such as CI/CD, static code analysis, and more that aim to streamline and optimize the efforts of your DevOps team. Anything that contributes to this goal will also contribute to regulatory compliance. 3/11/2022 www.autorabit.com 9
8. Protects Customer Environments ▪ Many Salesforce users interact directly with the environments of their customers. These linked instances need to be cooperatively stable to ensure the security of either side isn’t compromised. ▪ A Salesforce data loader offers a graphical user interface enables a user to mask data in a CSV within a customer environment. 3/11/2022 www.autorabit.com 10
9. Integrates Within DevSecOpsPlatform ▪ A Salesforce data loader is one piece within a larger toolset your Salesforce environment needs to properly protect itself against data corruption, overexposure, and cybercrime. Piecing together a data security strategy with tools from multiple vendors can lead to gaps in coverage. ▪ Source: 9 Ways a Salesforce Data Loader Assists Compliance Data Loader Assists Compliance 3/11/2022 www.autorabit.com 11
