Further information here https://appexchange.salesforce.com/ and https://www.salesforce.com/uk/products/
• Cloud deployment model: Public cloud
• Service constraints: Key considerations (further detail in our Supplier Terms) As Salesforce is multi-tenant, there are 'governor limits' which prevent resources from being monopolised by any single organisation. NB though these limits exist it's rare for customers to be impacted, and even more unusual for our current Public Sector customers. In the unlikely event of a need to increase, limits can be extended with various add-ons separately listed. Hitting a limit is often a sign of an underlying design flaw. Please make yourself aware of these limits at this link https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.210.0.salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet.meta/salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet/salesforce_app_limits_features.htm A user’s password may not be shared with any other individual.

Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: The Salesforce Services are designed with the concept of continuous improvement and Trust (e.g. Availability, Performance and Security) in the infrastructure. Salesforce uses commercially reasonable efforts to make its on-demand services available to its customers 24/7, except for (minimal) planned downtime, for which Salesforce gives customers prior notice, and force majeure events.
• Approach to resilience: To maximise availability, the service is delivered using a world-class data centre infrastructure consisting of a primary production data centre, a full capacity secondary data centre for hosting the service provided to customers.The infrastructure utilises carrier-class components designed to support millions of users. Extensive use of high availability servers and network technologies, and a carrier-neutral network strategy help to minimise the risk of single points of failure, and provide a highly resilient environment with maximum uptime and performance. More detailed information is available under NDA on request.
• Outage reporting: Outage escalation policies are established and maintained as Salesforce's goal is to rapidly restore service. In the event of an extended outage, periodic updates are provided in near real time to customers via the trust.salesforce.com dashboard site and in addition, service notifications are provided to nominated contacts via various channels such as email.

Administrators can configure several settings to ensure that users' passwords are strong and secure.
• Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels: Management access for service support and delivery is done through multiple layers of controls including, but not limited to, multiple 2 factor authentication, just-in-time access, access related to an approved trouble ticket and segregation of duties. These controls are in scope for SSAE-18 auditing and evidenced through the SOC 2/ISAE3402 report.; ; Access to the management interface for the customer to configure their salesforce environment, is configured by the customer themselves. Robust application design and testing ensures that users without administrative access rights cannot access more sensitive areas of the application.

• Protective monitoring type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Protective monitoring approach: Salesforce Threat Intelligence and Detection team monitors the Salesforce services 24x7 for threats and unauthorized intrusions in collaboration with the Security Incident Response teams. Extensive logging and monitoring is conducted across all Salesforce Services and environments (at application, network and database layers). All suspicious activities are flagged and reported to Salesforce CSIRT for investigation, management, communication, and resolution of security events and incidents in line with the NIST Incident Response model.
