Monitor App Security on the Insights Page

Use the Insights page to check whether your org's connected apps and external client apps comply with Salesforce's required OAuth and proof-of-possession controls. For apps that you develop, turn on the missing controls to come into compliance with Salesforce requirements. For apps developed elsewhere, contact the app developer and consider disabling the app until the developer updates the security controls. These controls are critical to protecting your org and data from known cyber threats.

The Insights page checks each app against two groups of Salesforce-required controls. An app complies when it meets all three OAuth controls and at least one proof-of-possession control.

Note
Note Apps that are created and controlled by Salesforce don't show up in the Insights page.

OAuth Controls All required.

Proof of Possession Controls At least one required.

The Insights page shows apps that are local to your org (Local) and apps that were developed elsewhere (Packaged). Apps in your org that you didn't develop show the status of their security controls, but only the app developer can manage them.

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Insights, and then select Insights.
    The App Insights page shows security status for a list of external client apps and connected apps.
  2. To narrow the list, select an App Type, or search by name.
  3. In the Security Controls column, find apps with failing controls.
  4. From that app's actions menu, select Configure Security Posture.
  5. Review the controls listed in the Security Posture window.
    • If the app's Distribution State is Local, click Manage App and turn on the missing controls.
    • If the Distribution State is Packaged, contact the app developer at the address listed in the Security Posture window. To turn off the app until the developer updates it, click Disable.
