Service scope

Software add-on or extension
Yes, but can also be used as a standalone service
What software services is the service an extension to
Salesforce services are all modular and pre-integrated with AI from einstein built-in. Functionality can be expanded as needed. Typically customers extend by adding: Service Cloud for case management, Sales Cloud for CRM and 360degree information view, and Marketing Cloud for engagements and customer journeys. 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.

End-of-contract data extraction
There are a number of options available for customers to extract their data from the service, either during the contract or when the contract ends. We encourage customers to export their data during their contract on a periodic basis to maintain a local copy of their salesforce database, rather than wait until the end of the contract These options include: The Weekly Export Service – export data from the service on a periodic basis via a zip file containing .csv files over a TLS link. Export data over the API via an integration or middleware solution. A comprehensive Salesforce exit strategy paper is available on request.
End-of-contract process
After termination of all subscriptions associated with an environment, Customer Data submitted to the Covered Services is retained in inactive status within the Covered Services for 120 days, after which it is securely overwritten or deleted from production within 90 days, and from backups within 180 days.
Physical media on which Customer Data is stored during the contract term is not removed from the data centers that Salesforce uses to host Customer Data unless the media is at the end of its useful life or being deprovisioned, in which case the media is first sanitized before removal. This process is subject to applicable legal requirements.

Within 30 days post contract termination, customers may request return of their respective Customer Data submitted to the Covered Services. Salesforce shall provide such Customer Data via downloadable files in comma separated value (.csv) format and attachments in their native format.

For more information on Data Deletion period upon contract termination, Please refer ""Deletion of Customer Data"" section of the Security, Privacy and Architecture Documentation for the respective services available on the Trust and Compliance site: https://trust.salesforce.com/en/trust-and-compliance-documentation/

Differences between the mobile and desktop service
The capability of Salesforce via a browser and on a mobile device, via either a browser or the native Salesforce1 App is broadly similar. However, there are some subtle differences as described here: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.limits_mobile_sf1_parent.htm&type=5 Note that the salesforce browser UI can also be accessed on many mobile devices.
Service interface
Yes
User support accessibility
WCAG 2.1 AA or EN 301 549
Description of service interface
The interface is a modern and intuitive design, with help functions throughout. The interface can be configured as required

In the platform, it is easy to modify applications to unique requirements. Use the metadata framework and point-and-click tools, custom user interfaces, modify data models, create and edit application business logic and processes. Configuration to modify objects, fields, validation rules, workflow, security settings, formulas, and more without code.

Some functionality is beyond the constraints of a metadata framework. For such cases, developers can create needed functionality in open-ended development environments, using toolkits for most of the common programming languages, or Apex.
Accessibility standards
WCAG 2.1 AA or EN 301 549
Accessibility testing
Salesforce is committed to providing applications accessible to all. This includes users working with assistive technology, such as speech recognition software and screen readers. Salesforce follows international best practices in Section 508 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and strives to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

A third party has assessed and documented the accessibility status of Salesforce core products in the VPAT documents published here: https://www.salesforce.com/company/legal/508_accessibility.jsp

In addition, Salesforce includes an alternate user interface mode that lets users with assistive devices, such as speech recognition software and screen readers, work with Salesforce more effectively with detail here https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=accessibility_mode_enabled.htm&type=0
API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
For developers changing the system, two APIs are applicable for managing customizations and for building tools that can manage the metadata model, not the data itself.

The Tooling API is specifically designed to help developers build IDE apps for salesforce, while the metadata API is for more general purpose configuration migration. The metadata API is allows for migrations, , including retrieve, deploy, create, update, or delete customisations for your Salesforce instance amd migrate changes from testing to production; the Tooling API gives developers a platform for debugging, code coverage, auto complete, and more.
API documentation
Yes
API documentation formats
  • Open API (also known as Swagger)
  • HTML
  • PDF
API sandbox or test environment
Yes
Customisation available
Yes
Description of customisation
Point-and-click configuration: The Salesforce platform makes it easy to modify the functionality of Salesforce applications to meet your unique requirements. Working with the metadata framework and a series of simple point-and-click wizards, you can design custom user interfaces and modify the structure of the data model and the application’s business logic. Configuration enables organisations to modify objects, fields, validation rules, workflow, security settings, formulas, and much more without the need for code. Customise with code: Although point-and-click configuration with the Salesforce platform is the fastest and easiest way to customise, some functionality is beyond the constraints of a metadata framework. For such cases, developers can create needed functionality in open-ended development environments, using toolkits for most of the common programming languages, or Apex.

Scaling

Independence of resources
The current daily transaction average for our platform is regularly 6 billion, consistently at sub 250ms response time within the Salesforce environment. Within each logical system, we use load balancers to distribute load among multiple web and application servers for additional scalability and redundancy. The multitenant application design, combined with the fastest servers and high-performance networking infrastructure available, guarantees fast performance. In addition to scaling for growth, Salesforce continually strives to improve the average response time of our services and to back up our claims, full details of transaction volumes and response times are publically reported in real-time at https://status.salesforce.com/

Network security controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection, anti-malware, anti-ddos, file integrity monitoring are augmented with extensive monitoring to provide a robust prevention, detection and response model. Internal and external, as well as third-party vulnerability scanning and application penetration testing are also in place.

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. Excellent availability statistics (historically 99.5%) are critical to Salesforce's customers’ success and to the success of Salesforce as a company. Salesforce generally does not focus on a specific percentage, as we do not believe our job on availability will ever be “complete”. Live and historical statistics on Salesforce system performance are publicly published at: https://trust.salesforce.com/en/#systemStatus, and further detail can be shared upon request and NDA.
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. Update frequency for notifications is dependent on the customer support service plan.

Identity and authentication

User authentication needed
Yes
User authentication
  • 2-factor authentication
  • Public key authentication (including by TLS client certificate)
  • Identity federation with existing provider (for example Google Apps)
  • Dedicated link (for example VPN)
  • Username or password
  • Other
Other user authentication
Salesforce has a comprehensive set of authentication mechanisms that customers can chose from. These include the inherent username and password option, Single Sign-on, Social Sign-on through another application, such as google, integration with existing identity management systems a customer may have, 2 Factor Authentication is required from February 2022, and the application can also act as a Service Provider or Identity Provider for SSO integration using SAML.
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, bastion host and proxy control and segregation of duties. These controls are in scope for SSAE-18 auditing and evidences 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. The options are outlined in the above response. Robust application design and testing ensures that users without administrative access rights cannot access more sensitive areas of the application.
Access restriction testing frequency
At least every 6 months
Management access authentication
  • 2-factor authentication
  • Public key authentication (including by TLS client certificate)
  • Identity federation with existing provider (for example Google Apps)

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
Salesforce has formal processes for placing a system into production. This procedure includes a build checklist, server hardening checklist and pre-production testing. Baseline configurations for servers, network devices, and databases are consistent with industry-accepted CIS (Center for Internet Security) system hardening guidelines. Change control procedures are required by the company’s Change Management Policy and include steps for testing, review, authorization, communication, verification, and back-out procedures. All changes to the infrastructure components are tested in a dedicated environment using production class equipment before being deployed into production. Changes are reviewed and approved by Technical Operations management prior to deployment to production.

Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

In 2021, Salesforce achieved net zero across its full value chain and reached 100% renewable energy. This means Salesforce has purchased enough renewable energy to match all electricity it uses globally.

Since first committing to this goal in 2013, Salesforce has been working to accelerate the global transition to clean and renewable sources of electricity with the aim for a future where renewable energy is powering the world around the clock.

Furthermore, Salesforce is on a mission to help conserve, restore, and grow 1 trillion trees by 2030.

Efforts include helping drive toward a 1.5°C future with its Climate Action Plan. Salesforce is focusing on six sustainability priorities — emissions reduction, carbon removal, trillion trees & ecosystem restoration, education & mobilisation, innovation, and regulation & policy — offering others a blueprint to accelerate their journey to Net Zero. In line with these priorities, Salesforce helped found 1t.org, a global movement to conserve, restore and grow 1 trillion trees by 2030 and launched an Ocean Sustainability Program to help protect our ocean.
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

Businesses are under pressure to find ways to innovate quickly, while providing seamless user experiences and increased security to accommodate the all-digital, work-from-anywhere world.

At Salesforce, we have responded to our customers’ needs faster than ever. We launched Work.com in May to help organisations navigate the complexity of safe office return. It included apps for manual contact tracing, employee wellness checks, shift scheduling, employee learning platform and command centre to help leaders visualise the data and make informed decisions. We built an entirely new suite of solutions in just eight weeks."" More details: https://www.salesforce.com/news/stories/how-salesforce-built-work-com-in-8-weeks/. We also launched Vaccine Cloud in 2021 to help monitor health in the community.

Returning to the office
As the pandemic changed the way we work and live, we used our technology like Work.com and expertise to safely reopen our offices world-wide, and welcome our employees in a safe environment.
The Salesforce's approach is more than just reopening offices, for Brent Hyder (former Salesforce President and CPO) it is ‘’an opportunity to create a workspace and an employee experience that makes us more connected, healthy, innovative and productive.’’
For more information: https://www.salesforce.com/news/stories/global-return-to-the-office-the-salesforce-approach/

Vaccine Cloud
Introduced in early 2021, this cloud-based solution is designed to help organisations, workplaces, schools, and non-profits make data-driven decisions based on health status so they can open safely.
Vaccine Cloud helps businesses and organisations quickly scale vaccine operations. The solution features capabilities ranging from recipient registration and scheduling to inventory management and public health outreach. Salesforce built Vaccine Cloud because legacy systems were built too simplistic to handle this epidemic
Vaccine Cloud is a technology that helps:
• Mitigate short-term risks and stabilise operations
• Plan and orchestrate a return-to-work
• Engage customers, partners, and suppliers at every-point

We strive to create a workplace that reflects the diverse communities around us. Together we can build a more equal workplace and world for all.

We set a goal in 2019 to have 50% of our U.S. employees from underrepresented groups by 2023. In 2020, we included additional public representation goals to continue to accelerate this work, and we’re evaluating new goals to help hold us accountable.

Our Equality Groups are employee-led organisations that build community, educate allies, and drive equality. We continue to offer recognition and compensation for globally elected Equality Group leaders. More information: https://www.salesforce.com/company/equality/equality-groups/ .

Equality Examples

New gender inclusive benefits
Transgender people face barriers and inequality — including access to healthcare. We want to help remove some of those barriers to ensure our transgender and non-binary employees can get the care they need and live as their true, authentic selves by providing critical financial and emotional support they deserve.

Equal pay
Salesforce has spent $16 million to date to ensure equal pay for equal work among its global workforce. In 2015, the company committed to investigating and addressing any gender pay gaps. Since then, Salesforce has continued to improve upon its processes and broaden the scope of assessment to include bonuses, promotions, and stock, as well as race and ethnicity in the United States, in addition to gender globally.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

We bring mental health conversations into the workplace.
For example, our CPO Brent Hyder hosted a virtual Mental Health Town Hall for our global employee base, featuring leaders from across the spectrum talking about mental health.

We recognize that health equity concerns are especially problematic in the context of mental health. We see how the problems facing humanity such as nutrition insecurity, housing insecurity, climate action, health equity, mental health, wellbeing, and workforce development all intersect.
These are complex problems and we have to work all together towards solutions that span more than one axis.

Pledge 1% is a global movement that inspires, educates, and empowers every entrepreneur, company, and employee to be a force for good. Over 10,000 members in 100 countries have used Pledge 1%’s flexible framework to ignite half a billion dollars in new philanthropy.

Pledge 1% founding partners include Salesforce, Atlassian, and Rally, three companies that know first-hand how pledging a small portion of future success today can have an enormous impact tomorrow. In 2014, they came together with the Entrepreneurs Foundation of Colorado to accelerate a shared vision of every business around the globe integrating philanthropy into its corporate DNA. In 2016, Pledge 1% became a special initiative of Tides, a leading global philanthropic partner and non-profit accelerator.
