Salesforce - Hyperforce Lightning Sales Cloud

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 Einstein AI built-in. Functionality can be expanded as needed. Customers extend by adding Einstein Analytics to: Service Cloud for case management, Sales Cloud for CRM and 360degree 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

API: Yes
What users can and can't do using the API: Salesforce provides several simple, powerful, and secure APIs.

SOAP API to create, retrieve, update, or delete records, perform searches, etc. in real time in any language that supports web services.

REST API REST-based web services interface for use with mobile applications and web projects.

Chatter REST API similar to feed APIs offered by Facebook/ Twitter.

WAVE REST API access Wave Analytics assets, such as datasets, lenses and dashboards.

Bulk API based on REST principles optimised for loading or deleting large sets of data. Use it to handle many records asynchronously in batches.

Metadata API to retrieve, deploy, create, update, or delete customizations for your Salesforce instance. Migrate changes from testing to production. Intended for managing customizations and for building tools that can manage the metadata model, not the data itself.

Streaming API for notifications to be pushed from the server to the client, typically for applications that poll frequently.

Apex REST API & APEX SOAP API to expose Apex classes and methods so that external applications can access your code through REST or SOAP architecture, respectively. Both support OAuth 2.0 and Session ID for authorization.

Tooling API to integrate Salesforce metadata with other systems. REST and SOAP both supported.
API documentation: Yes
API documentation formats: 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 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 availability zones for hyper-scalability and redundancy. The multitenant application design, combined with the fastest servers and high-performance networking infrastructure leveraged from the public cloud, guarantees fast performance. In addition to scaling for growth anywhere, Salesforce 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 reported in real-time at https://status.salesforce.com/

Analytics

Service usage metrics: Yes
Metrics types: The service includes various metrics to monitor usage and adoption of the service, for example, last login, login duration etc.
For Infrastructure detail metrics are available at https://trust.salesforce.com website provides performance and availability information for the entire service.

For specific metric monitoring and for more in-depth detail customers can extend capability through the use of Event Monitoring. For example - which applications are being used, by whom, how are they being used, when, where from and are there performance issues? This data can be used to improve adoption, security and performance of the application.

TLS (version 1.2 or above)

Other
Other protection between networks: Customers connect to the service over the public Internet with all transmissions between the user and the Salesforce Services secured using TLS 1.2 or higher and encrypted using 256 or 128-bit encryption. The Services use International/Global Step Up SSL certificates with 2048-bit Public Keys. Web Service callouts can be secured using TLS, and mutual TLS. Additionally, customers can partner with a selection of supported ISPs for a more direct connection to the Salesforce service. In the UK, BT are one such ISP. This service is known as Salesforce Express Connect. Specifically, Hyperforce also includes Salesforce Private Connect through AWS.
Data protection within supplier network: IPsec or TLS VPN gateway

Other
Other protection within supplier network: Customer data is protected within the Salesforce service through a mature, standards-based defence in depth security architecture. Logical and physical access is strictly controlled and monitored and the controls used are in scope for the various security certifications the company has, and audited regularly by third parties. Controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection, anti-malware, 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. This service leverages Public Cloud region, and uses multiple availability zones. This pattern ensures a 99.9% service level agreement and allows services to withstand up to two different zonal faults and continue to be available. 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: A Hyperforce instance resides in a single public cloud region, and uses three availability zones for disaster recovery. This allows services to withstand up to two different zonal faults and continue to be available maintaining 99.9% uptime.

Compute resources are deployed across (at least) three zones within a given region. A regional level load balancer is placed on top of the instances and manages spreading load appropriately. Blob storage and certain other provider specific services will also be at a regional level (the list of services vary based on provider). Any service deployed in this pattern will need to tolerate two millisecond latency across zones. More detailed information is available under NDA on request.
Outage reporting: Outages are publicised on a public portal and via email alerts. 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 formal Incident Management Process that guides the Salesforce Computer Security Incident Response team in investigation, management, communication, and resolution activities.

Salesforce will promptly notify the customer in the event of any security breach of the Service resulting in an actual or reasonably suspected unauthorised disclosure of Customer Data. Notification may include phone contact by Salesforce support, email to customer's administrator and Security Contact and public posting on trust.salesforce.com.

Salesforce.com is a member of the prestigious Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) and complies with the FIRST framework and best practices for incident response.
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)
