A Brief Overview of Hyperforce Security and Data Residency Advances

Hyperforce is being rolled out by Salesforce across North America orgs and I just wanted to highlight some of the security and data residency advances that Hyperforce provides.

Data Residency Options

With Hyperforce you have multiple data residency options. This means you can choose where your data is stored geographically. This flexibility is crucial in meeting local regulations and protecting user privacy.

Some key factors to consider include:

• Regional preferences: Select data centers in locations that align with your business needs.
• Performance considerations: Storing data closer to users can enhance application performance.
• Legal requirements: Different countries have varying laws regarding data storage and privacy. Understanding these laws helps you stay compliant.

Customer Data Control

Hyperforce enhances customer data control. You can manage who has access to your data, ensuring only authorized personnel can view or manipulate it.

Key aspects of data control include:

• Access management: Implement role-based access controls to limit data exposure.
• Data encryption: Use encryption practices to protect sensitive information both in transit and at rest.
• Audit logs: Maintain comprehensive logs of who accessed data and when to ensure accountability and transparency.

Regulatory Adherence

Staying compliant with regulations is critical for any organization. Hyperforce simplifies meeting various global standards for data protection.

You should be aware of:

• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): This European regulation requires specific measures for data handling.
• CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act): This law gives California residents rights over their personal data.
• Compliance certifications: Hyperforce can help you achieve certifications that demonstrate your commitment to data privacy and security.

Navigating these regulations is essential in protecting your business and maintaining customer trust.

Security Model

Hyperforce employs a multi-layered security model. At its core, it includes advanced access controls that restrict who can access sensitive data as with standard Salesforce orgs. You can set permissions based on user roles, ensuring only authorized individuals see specific information.

Another essential part of the security model is that the infrastructure is built on a framework designed for scalability and resilience. This means that as your needs grow, security measures can adapt without sacrificing performance. You can find detailed information in the Hyperforce Security documentation.
