Take Charge of Your Security Goals with Security Center

The Security Center app offers a single view of your security, privacy, and governance posture across all of your Salesforce orgs and tenants. Use the app to review up-to-date health check scores, access settings, and user and login metrics in one easy-to-read interface. When you know how your orgs and tenants are performing, you can shorten security review processes and limit risks. You can also get clear insights into how you're meeting your security goals and respond proactively when suspicious conditions arise. And during periods of growth or change, Security Center can help you monitor changes that touch sensitive customer data.

Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with the Security Center add-on license.

  • Security Center Definitions
    Keep these terms in mind when working with Security Center.
  • Enable Security Center Permissions
    To give new users access to Security Center in the app launcher, enable Security Center permissions. You can assign Security Center permissions from Profiles or Permission Sets in Setup.
  • Designate a Parent Tenant in Security Center
    To see security information for multiple tenants, designate a parent tenant to show data collected from that parent tenant and all connected child tenants. You can disconnect child tenants at any time. And you can group parent and child tenants based on their security policies or regulations.
  • Security Center Data
    Security Center offers several ways to view your security settings and data. Summary and Category dashboards organize aggregate data and totals for quick scanning. Detail pages show metric-specific trends and details about changes made to security settings on specific days. Security Center stores data for 6 months. Because Security Center surfaces sensitive information, we recommend that you enable multi-factor authentication for all Security Center users.
  • Create Alerts for Security Changes
    Create custom alerts to immediately learn about changes made to security settings that you care about. Alerts notify you by email or in the Salesforce app when a setting in your Security Center tenant exceeds a threshold that you set. Create as many alerts as you want so that you can stay informed of your tenant’s security posture.
  • Define and Deploy Security Policies
    You can define security-related policies and deploy them to the tenants that you choose. Use data gathered in Security Center to identify settings that matter most to you.
  • Disconnect a Child Tenant from a Parent Tenant
    Sometimes you want to view a child tenant's data in a different parent tenant or stop viewing metrics from a child tenant. You can disconnect a child tenant from a parent tenant at any time. Disconnected child tenant data is retained, and visible when the child tenant is reconnected to a parent tenant.
  • Security Center Metrics
    Security Center captures selected security, compliance, and governance metrics for all tenants.
  • Classify Fields in Security Center
    Security Center's Field Classification tool lets you assign and manage sensitivity level and other classifications for fields across all objects in your parent and tenant orgs, individually or in bulk.
  • Unify Security Data with Security Mesh
    Security Mesh simplifies your security operations by unifying security data from internal and external sources into a single format in Security Center. These security findings help you identify and respond to threats more effectively.
  • Enhance Your Security Posture by Using Security Center with Agentforce (Beta)
    Leverage the power of Agentforce to reduce alert fatigue and move quickly from security anomaly detection to guided remediation. Security Center with Agentforce, previously Agentforce for Security, is your AI-powered partner in investigating and resolving security incidents.
  • Security Center Response Log
    The Security Center Response Log is a read-only list of automated threat containment actions that Salesforce Security performs on your organization's behalf. Use the log to quickly identify which threats are resolved and focus your attention where it's needed.
