Four findings from 1,000+ pre-audit scans.
Across 1,000+ orgs we scan. Most teams are surprised because they assume Salesforce IS compliant out of the box. Salesforce is compliance-capable, but configuration is on you.
Across SOC 2 CC6.x and ISO A.9.x. Usually the same root cause: over-permissioned profiles, integration users with admin access, stale permission sets.
Big-4 SOC 2 audit costs $30-80K depending on org size. Our compliance audit is free and pre-audits the same controls. Save 80% by running the pre-audit first.
For each failing control, the audit produces auditor-ready evidence. No more "let me check with the admin and get back to you in 2 days". Click the control, get the export.
Click any framework to drill into its top failing controls. Sample data from a typical mid-market org pre-audit.
Each control mapped to live Salesforce config. Auditor-ready evidence export.
See my compliance postureFive frameworks plus continuous monitoring. 144 controls total.
Every SOC 2 Common Criterion (CC1-CC9) mapped to specific Salesforce configuration. CC6.1 (logical access) maps to your profile and permission set configuration. CC7.2 (system monitoring) maps to your audit trail setup. Evidence auto-collected per control.
Annex A controls mapped to Salesforce: A.5 (Information security policies), A.6 (Organization), A.7 (Human resources), A.8 (Asset management), A.9 (Access control, the bulk of Salesforce-relevant controls), A.10-A.14 (Crypto, ops, supplier, incident, continuity, compliance).
Article 5 (lawful basis), Article 17 (right to erasure), Article 25 (data protection by design), Article 30 (records of processing), Article 32 (security of processing). Each mapped to Salesforce data handling settings.
Administrative safeguards (164.308), physical safeguards (164.310, less relevant for SaaS), technical safeguards (164.312: access control, audit controls, integrity, transmission security). Mapped to Salesforce settings for healthcare orgs.
Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover. Each function mapped to Salesforce config. Useful for orgs adopting the CSF framework for cyber governance.
Most compliance audits are annual snapshots. Clientell monitors every control continuously. When a configuration drift breaks a control, you know within 30 minutes, not at the next audit.
| Framework | Controls | Best for | Auditor |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type II | 64 | Customer security questionnaires, B2B SaaS sales, enterprise procurement. | Big-4 or specialized SOC 2 firm. |
| ISO 27001:2022 | 47 | International compliance, European customers, ISMS certification. | Accredited ISO certification body. |
| GDPR | 18 | EU data subject regulation, right-to-erasure, lawful basis tracking. | Internal DPO or EU regulator inquiry. |
| HIPAA Security Rule | 9 | Healthcare orgs, BAA signers, PHI handling. | HHS OCR or specialized HIPAA auditor. |
| NIST CSF 2.0 | 6 | Federal contracts, cyber governance framework, mature security program. | Internal CISO or 3rd-party assessor. |
If any of these apply, you need the audit in the next 30 days.
Without continuous monitoring, you scramble to assemble access reviews retroactively. With our audit, every access review is logged and exportable in the format SOC 2 auditors want.
Financial services (SOX/PCI), healthcare (HIPAA), education (FERPA), federal contracts (FedRAMP context) all require mapped controls. Our audit produces the mapping in 10 minutes.
Customer security questionnaires want to see SOC 2 status, ISO 27001 alignment, and specific control evidence. Without a compliance audit, answers are vague. With it, answers are exportable.
Article 17 requires you to delete all PII for the requester. Without a data map, finding everywhere their data lives takes days. Our compliance audit produces the data location map in real time.
AI agents in Salesforce raise new compliance questions: who has access to what data, how is it logged, what controls limit agent actions. Our audit baselines all three before the agent goes live.
Five deliverables. Designed for CISO, compliance officer, and auditor.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST CSF dashboards with pass/partial/fail status per control. Filterable, exportable, owner-attributed.
For each control, the live Salesforce config that satisfies it. Screenshots, configuration exports, log excerpts. Pre-formatted for SOC 2 evidence collection.
When a configuration drift breaks a compliance control (someone adds a profile with Modify All Data, someone disables Setup Audit Trail), Slack/email alert within 30 minutes.
Single-page summary of overall compliance position across frameworks. CFO/CISO/board-ready format.
Every failing control with proposed fix, owner role, effort estimate, dependency context. Sortable by severity, exportable to Jira.
Everything CISOs and compliance teams ask before a Salesforce compliance audit.
A Salesforce compliance audit maps your Salesforce configuration against control frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST CSF) and identifies which controls pass, fail, or are partial. For each finding, the audit produces auditor-ready evidence. Clientell's audit tracks 144 controls across 5 frameworks and runs in 10 minutes via read-only OAuth.
No. Salesforce-the-platform is SOC 2 Type II compliant (the infrastructure layer). Your specific configuration (who can access what, what is logged, who is monitored) determines whether YOUR org meets SOC 2 controls. Most orgs assume the platform's compliance flows through to their config; it does not.
Salesforce Shield is a paid Salesforce product that adds Event Monitoring, Platform Encryption, and Field Audit Trail. These are compliance-relevant features. Our compliance audit measures whether your config (Shield or otherwise) satisfies specific framework controls. Use Shield for the underlying capabilities, our audit for the framework mapping.
No. A Big-4 audit is required for a SOC 2 Type II report. Our compliance audit is the pre-audit: pre-flight your control posture before the Big-4 starts the engagement. Most orgs that pre-audit save 50% on the actual SOC 2 audit cost and avoid the typical 30-day remediation scramble that follows a failed first attempt.
Yes. For every control, the audit produces the live Salesforce configuration that satisfies (or fails to satisfy) it. Screenshots, configuration JSON, log excerpts, user-permission matrices. Pre-formatted in the structure SOC 2 and ISO 27001 auditors actually request. You hand the export to the auditor without translating.
Yes. Scan, mapping, dashboards, evidence export, continuous monitoring, and remediation backlog are all free with no paid engagement required. Most orgs use the audit to prep for a $30-80K Big-4 engagement, saving more than the entire Clientell subscription cost in audit fees alone.
Salesforce-the-vendor will sign a BAA for HIPAA-relevant editions. Our audit measures whether your specific config (signed BAA + appropriate technical safeguards) satisfies HIPAA Security Rule 164.312 (access control, audit controls, integrity, transmission security). The BAA covers the platform; the audit covers your implementation.
Continuously. SOC 2 annual audits are the regulatory minimum, but configuration drift happens daily (admins add profiles, contractors get permissions, integration users are created). Continuous monitoring catches drift within 30 minutes. Annual point-in-time audits catch it months later, after the gap has been exploited or noticed by an external party.
The 5 frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST CSF) cover most use cases. For financial services we map to SOX equivalents within the existing frameworks. For federal we map to NIST 800-53 (FedRAMP context). Specialized industry frameworks (FedRAMP authorization, FISMA, custom regulator frameworks) are roadmap items.
Drata and Vanta are excellent end-to-end SOC 2/ISO compliance platforms that cover your entire org (not just Salesforce). Our audit focuses specifically on the Salesforce slice and integrates with the broader Clientell audit suite (Permissions, Change Intelligence, License). If you have Drata or Vanta, our audit complements them with deeper Salesforce-specific control mapping. If you do not yet have a compliance platform, our audit is a strong starting point for the Salesforce surface.
