Salesforce Health Checks Beyond the Security Score

A strong Salesforce security score can still hide operational and architectural risk across the wider org. The guide distinguishes the native Health Check—focused on selected security settings—from a broader review of permissions, data quality, automation, Apex, integrations, performance, licenses, reporting, backup and adoption. It also outlines how findings should be ranked by business impact, dependencies, ownership and remediation effort rather than treated as a checklist. For technology leaders, the implication is to use the native score as one signal within a wider governance and resilience review.
