Salesforce security — config, code, sharing and data.
Salesforce secures the platform — you own the configuration, sharing model, permissions, Apex/LWC code and connected apps. WoneShield secures exactly that layer: continuous SSPM plus expert assessment, hardening and monitoring.
Salesforce security done right · mapped to the CIS Salesforce benchmark
Why Salesforce security
Your biggest Salesforce risk is a setting or a line of code.
Over-permissive sharing
Loose org-wide defaults, broad sharing rules and public groups quietly expose records to users — and guests — who should never see them.
Insecure Apex & LWC code
Custom code that bypasses CRUD/FLS, runs without sharing, or is open to SOQL injection turns your own customizations into the attack path.
Excessive profiles & connected apps
‘Modify All Data’, API-enabled profiles and over-scoped OAuth connected apps grant far more access than anyone audits.
Config + code
Settings reviews miss where breaches actually start.
Apex & LWC code security
Secure the code that runs on your data.
Custom Apex and Lightning Web Components are where over-broad access and injection flaws hide. WoneShield scans them with OWASP-aligned rules built for Salesforce — CRUD/FLS bypass, SOQL injection, sharing violations — in your org and your CI pipeline.
- ✓CRUD/FLS bypass & ‘without sharing’ misuse
- ✓SOQL/SOSL injection detection
- ✓Scans in CI so insecure code never ships
The lifecycle
Evaluate. Plan. Deploy & harden. Monitor.

Implement the fixes — tighten sharing, right-size profiles, remediate insecure Apex, lock down connected apps and guest users — with secure-development guardrails.
- 4
Monitor & enhance
Continuous drift detection and Apex code scanning in CI, so a clean org stays clean release after release — not just on audit day.
How we connect
Agentless, read-first, no changes to your org.
Least-privilege API access; self-hostable for full data residency.
What we secure
Every layer of your Salesforce org.
How it compares
Native tools check settings. We secure the whole org.

Why WoneShield for Salesforce
A Salesforce security partner, not just a scanner.
Config and code — not just settings
Salesforce's own Health Check looks at settings. We also secure your Apex/LWC code, where real breaches start.
Product + expertise
Continuous SSPM plus Salesforce security specialists who assess, plan, harden and monitor — not just a scanner you're left to interpret.
Continuous, not point-in-time
Drift detection and CI code scanning keep your org secure across every release, not just at the annual review.
Audit-ready
Findings map to the CIS Salesforce benchmark, ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and flow into Comply as evidence.
See it in action
Watch a Salesforce assessment run in two minutes.
Connect an org and watch WoneShield surface over-shared records, risky profiles, insecure Apex and exposed guest access — mapped to CIS, with a prioritized remediation plan.
- ✓Agentless connect
- ✓Config + code + sharing
- ✓CIS-mapped remediation roadmap
By design
A Salesforce org you can prove is secure.
Return on investment
One exposed record can cost more than years of protection.
A single over-shared object or insecure Apex class can expose your most sensitive CRM data. Continuous Salesforce security is cheap by comparison.

“WoneShield's assessment found 400+ over-shared records, 60 over-privileged profiles and an insecure Apex class — then their team helped us fix it and put CI scanning in place so it stays fixed.”

“WoneShield found 400+ over-shared records and an insecure Apex class our last pen test missed. The remediation plan was the real value.”
Rebecca StoneSalesforce Security Lead · SaaS“Guest-user exposure on our Experience Cloud site was wide open. They caught it and walked us through the fix in a day.”
Daniel OseiSalesforce Architect · Fintech“Apex code scanning in our CI stopped an insecure-sharing bug from ever reaching production. That alone paid for it.”

Whose job is Salesforce security?
Under Salesforce's shared-responsibility model, Salesforce secures the underlying platform and infrastructure. Everything you build on top — configuration, the sharing model, profiles and permissions, custom Apex/LWC code, connected apps and who can access what — is your responsibility.
That customer-owned layer is where virtually all Salesforce data exposure happens. WoneShield secures it: assessing it, hardening it, and monitoring it continuously, with both product and Salesforce security expertise.
- SSPM for Salesforce
- SaaS Security Posture Management applied to Salesforce — continuous checks on config, sharing, permissions and code.
- Shared responsibility
- Salesforce secures the platform; you secure your configuration, code and access. We secure your half.

FAQ
Salesforce security, answered.
Is Salesforce secure by default?+
Salesforce secures the platform, but under the shared-responsibility model your configuration, sharing model, permissions, custom Apex/LWC code and connected apps are your responsibility — and that's where almost all Salesforce incidents originate. WoneShield secures that layer.
How is this different from Salesforce Health Check or Security Center?+
Salesforce's native tools check configuration settings. WoneShield covers configuration AND custom code (Apex/LWC), sharing model, connected apps and guest exposure — continuously — and maps everything to the CIS Salesforce benchmark with expert remediation.
Do you assess custom Apex and Lightning code?+
Yes. We scan Apex and Lightning Web Components for insecure patterns — CRUD/FLS bypass, SOQL injection, sharing violations, insecure connected logic — using OWASP-aligned rules built for Salesforce, including in your CI pipeline.
What does a Salesforce security assessment cover and how long does it take?+
Config, sharing, profiles/permissions, code, connected apps, guest access and data exposure — mapped to CIS. Because it's automated, the first assessment surfaces findings within hours, with an expert-reviewed report and prioritized roadmap.
Can you help us remediate, not just find issues?+
Yes — that's the lifecycle: evaluate, plan, deploy/harden, then monitor. Our specialists help implement the fixes and put guardrails in place so the org stays secure.
How much does Salesforce security cost?+
Start with a free Salesforce security assessment. Ongoing protection is $750/month (Essentials — continuous SSPM) or $2,000/month (Complete — code security, connected-app review and remediation support), with custom pricing for large or multi-org estates.
Do you cover Experience Cloud (Communities) and guest users?+
Yes — guest user and Experience Cloud exposure is one of the most common Salesforce risks, and it's a core part of every assessment and continuous check.
Is it agentless / safe to connect?+
Yes — WoneShield connects via API with read-first, least-privilege access. No agents, no changes to your org to get assessed.
