Front Door Threats

Upfront threats that can expose your tenant or compromise your Salesforce account, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Comprehensive Protection

Back it all up: base objects, custom objects, metadata, attachments, files, Force.com apps, and Chatter posts – with no limits on storage, versions, and durations.

Automated Backup

Automated Salesforce backup that auto-discovers new and/or altered content to back up. This takes place as part of a recurring, incremental backup process that runs quietly in the background every day without any additional effort from your admins or users.

Transparent Reporting

Use the audit log for an immutable, detailed record of every action done by any user within Spanning. Drill down into any backup or restore for details, including error reporting and guidance.

Point-in-time restore

Enjoy total restore flexibility with access to every point-in-time Salesforce backup performed by Spanning. Daily automated backup and unlimited on-demand backup equip your organization with an abundance of historical snapshots and versions of your backed-up Salesforce data. Find the last date on which your content was in the desired state and restore it directly back.

Inside Threats

Threats that live and breathe in your system. They can be devastating since they can cripple your entire Salesforce ecosystem without notice and with very little effort.

Metadata Restore

Recover metadata into the same org or cross-org for 17 different metadata types, including Objects, Reports, Dashboards, Emails, Layouts, Triggers, Workflows, Classes, Pages and more, directly from Spanning and within Salesforce — without using other tools.

Rapid Search and Restore

Minimize time and effort spent on data recovery so administrators can get back to work, fast.

Granular Restore

Recover specific fields of a record, or entire records that were updated or deleted. Restore related child records, or overwrite field values during restore — you choose, then restore just what you need.

Cross-Org restore

Easily restore data and metadata from one organization into another, with an option to anonymize specific fields during restores.

Back Door Threats

Threats caused by vulnerabilities on the application side. Poorly architected solutions meant to improve your Salesforce operations and security, can instead increase the risk of data loss.

SOC 2 Compliance

SOC 2 is the leading auditing standard addressing the protection and privacy of sensitive data. To be SOC 2 compliant, an organization must provide evidence and undergo rigorous audits demonstrating the quality and effectiveness of their systems and controls. SOC 2 – Type II is the gold standard for technology service providers that process or store their customer’s data in the cloud and establishes their commitment to the security and protection of data.

Strong Encryption

Spanning Backup protects data at rest with 256-bit AES object-level encryption (one of the strongest block ciphers available) with unique, randomly generated encryption keys for every single object and a rotating master key protecting the unique keys. All data in transit is also protected with Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption.

Customer Managed Encryption Keys

With Spanning, customers have the option of providing their own keys, giving them full control over Spanning backup data. Customers can manage their own encryption keys using Amazon Web Services (AWS) Key Management Service and revoke access to their data whenever needed.

Skyhigh Enterprise-Ready cloud services fully satisfy the most stringent requirements for data protection, identity verification, service security, business practices and legal protection.
