🔐 Security Architecture
Security Layers
D2X's security architecture is built on multiple layers to ensure the highest level of protection for your Salesforce orgs and data.
1. Authentication and Authorization
- GitHub Environments: Use GitHub Environments to manage long-term credentials and temporary access tokens.
- Two-Stage Authentication: Implement a two-stage authentication process to separate long-term credentials from temporary access tokens.
- Role-Based Access Control: Define roles and permissions to control access to sensitive data and operations.
2. Data Protection
- Encryption: Encrypt sensitive data both at rest and in transit.
- Data Masking: Use data masking techniques to protect sensitive information in non-production environments.
- Backup and Recovery: Implement regular backup and recovery processes to ensure data integrity and availability.
3. Network Security
- Firewall Rules: Define and enforce firewall rules to restrict access to your Salesforce orgs.
- VPN: Use Virtual Private Networks (VPN) to secure communication between your on-premises systems and Salesforce.
- IP Whitelisting: Restrict access to your Salesforce orgs based on IP addresses.
4. Monitoring and Auditing
- Audit Logs: Maintain detailed audit logs for all access and operations.
- Security Monitoring: Implement security monitoring tools to detect and respond to potential threats.
- Compliance Reporting: Generate compliance reports to meet regulatory requirements.
