My organisation deals with confidential data. I need to make sure that the data should not end up with the wrong hands within the organisation. How can I leverage salesforce to achieve this? ?

HI Ravi,

To ensure that confidential data does not end up in the wrong hands within the organization, you can leverage Salesforce's data security features.
>Salesforce provides a comprehensive and flexible data security model to secure data at different levels, including object-level, field-level, and record-level security

> Use Salesforce's user profiles and permission sets to control access to confidential data. You can assign different profiles and permission sets to different users based on their roles and responsibilities

> Configure org-wide defaults to lock down your data to the most restrictive level. This will ensure that only authorized users can access confidential data

> Use sharing rules to open up and allow secure access to data based on business needs. You can configure sharing rules to share data with specific users, roles, or groups

> Monitor data access to ensure that only authorized users are accessing confidential data. You can use Salesforce's audit trail feature to track data access and changes

> With Transaction Security, you can create policies that consist of events, notifications, and actions.
