Encrypted on the device
The security answer in one page: field data on the phone is held in an encrypted database and governed by Salesforce permission sets.
Chris · Salesforce admin · Head office
The IT security questionnaire has three questions about mobile data: where it's stored, who can access it and what happens offline. Chris answers all three from one page. Data on the device is held in an encrypted database. Access follows the Salesforce permission sets he already manages. Work done offline stays encrypted on the phone until it syncs to the company's own org. The questionnaire is returned in a day instead of a fortnight.
Chris attaches the summary to the questionnaire.
