Why Cloudingo Puts Security at the Core of Data Quality
The recent news of attackers exploiting OAuth tokens from a third-party vendor to access Salesforce orgs was a wake-up call for many. It highlighted a critical reality for Salesforce Admins and Operations leaders: while connecting external tools to your CRM can boost productivity, they can also introduce significant risks.
At Cloudingo, we take these risks seriously. Security isn’t an add-on; it’s built into the foundation of the platform.
The Hidden Risks of Third-Party Integrations
Sales and marketing tools often require deep access to your Salesforce data. In the recent breach, attackers stole OAuth refresh tokens (essentially the keys that let apps make ongoing API calls ) and used them to pull sensitive information out of Salesforce.
This was a vendor risk issue, not a Salesforce vulnerability. It underscores why securing connected apps is absolutely essential for protecting CRM data.
How Cloudingo Secures Your Salesforce Data
Cloudingo was built to help you eliminate duplicate records, cleanse your data, and keep Salesforce running smoothly. But we’ve always believed that data quality should never come at the expense of data security.
Here’s how we protect your Salesforce environment:
- SOC 2 Type II Compliant
Verified annually by independent auditors to ensure controls for security, availability, and confidentiality — giving you third-party assurance that your data meets industry standards. - Built For Salesforce
The Cloudingo agent operates natively on Salesforce’s secure Force.com platform. The platform interacts with your org in real time via APIs, meaning your customer data is never cached or stored outside of Salesforce. - Minimal Data Retention
Cloudingo only stores the metadata needed for functionality (such as filter and matching field schema). Your actual customer records stay in Salesforce — and only in Salesforce. - Encryption Everywhere
256-bit SSL encryption protects data in transit, while credentials and refresh tokens are encrypted at rest — ensuring protection at every step. - Independent Security Reviews
As a Salesforce ISV partner, Cloudingo passes Salesforce’s strict security review process. In addition, every release is tested through third-party penetration testing to validate safeguards. - Controlled Access
Cloudingo staff cannot see your Salesforce data unless you explicitly grant temporary access for troubleshooting. Your data remains private and fully under your control
The Future of Security at Cloudingo
Security is not a static process. It requires constant evolution. That’s why we’re investing in future capabilities designed to bring more proactive monitoring into Cloudingo. Our vision is to help customers spot unusual activity early and stay ahead of potential risks, adding another layer of confidence on top of existing security practices.
Unlock the Power of Your Salesforce Data with Confidence
In today’s environment, it’s not enough to clean your Salesforce data , you have to protect it too. Cloudingo combines industry-leading deduplication and cleansing with enterprise-grade security, so you can unlock the full power of Salesforce with complete confidence.
