Oxfam GB, a global nonprofit focused on overcoming poverty and social injustice, has deployed the Odaseva solution to ensure a bulletproof backup and protection strategy for its large Salesforce database of supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s why: Oxfam GB maintains numerous records of its global network of supporters and donors in Salesforce with personal information that is regulated by data privacy laws as GDPR and CCPA. The nonprofit has a critical need to manage backups of its Salesforce platform through a single interface that ensures the data remains safe and secure at all points in the data lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen you set up an account with Odaseva, you also set up an encryption key that is unique to Oxfam\u2014and, without that key, nobody, including Odaseva, can access your data,\u201d said Philip Blaney, Technical Design Authority at Oxfam GB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Blaney\u2019s mission for data security and privacy protection extends far beyond backup and protection for the vast amount of personally identifiable data that Oxfam manages. His end goal is no less than ensuring full enterprise-class data governance, and that means maintaining the privacy and security of data at every stage at which the data is handled \u2013 not just within production systems. That\u2019s one reason Oxfam adopted Odaseva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even before an organization\u2019s data has gone into production, it may reside in a test environment or sandbox, where it can be accessed by unauthorized personnel. \u201cAny company that is safeguarding private customer data in Salesforce Production but fails to anonymize their Salesforce Sandbox data is pretty much locking the door but leaving the window open,\u201d said Sovan Bin, CEO and founder of Odaseva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traditionally, anonymizing all personal data in a sandbox has required a long and costly development and maintenance process. Christophe Bertrand, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, puts the challenge into perspective: \u201cThe process of extracting Salesforce Full Sandbox\u2019s data, anonymizing it and then reloading it back into the test environment is complicated \u2014 enough so that organizations that can\u2019t afford to develop and maintain a data anonymization process simply don\u2019t do it at all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Odaseva remains a step ahead. Odaseva\u2019s Sandbox Data Anonymization application for Salesforce customers works with the Odaseva platform to anonymize all personal information that an organization may put in a Salesforce Sandbox \u2013 which is an isolated copy of an organization\u2019s Salesforce environment that can be used for training, development and testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday, with Odaseva, we have data protection, operations, data privacy automation, and security on a single platform,\u201d said Blaney. He added: \u201cWe can use Odaseva to anonymize supporter data in a sandbox, and that ensures that we are respecting the principles of GDPR. Being able to work with that data in an anonymized sandbox is a big win for us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oxfam GB, a global nonprofit focused on overcoming poverty and social injustice, has deployed the Odaseva solution to ensure a bulletproof backup and protection strategy for its large Salesforce database of supporters.
