Audit Salesforce Org Security and Configuration with PowerShell
Export the setup audit trail, login history, failed logins, MFA status, profile permissions, sharing rules, and field-level security, and find inactive users with one repeatable Salesforce audit workflow.
Salesforce holds some of the most sensitive data in the business — customers, pipeline, and revenue — and its security model is deep enough that misconfigurations hide easily: a profile with too much access, a sharing rule that opens records too widely, a field visible to people who should not see it.
Because admins, consultants, and integrations all change configuration over time, the org's actual security posture drifts away from what anyone believes it is.
A repeatable PowerShell workflow audits the org's security posture on a schedule. PSForge helps you assemble it from ready-made Salesforce tasks.
Why Salesforce security drifts
Salesforce permissions layer profiles, permission sets, sharing rules, and field-level security on top of each other — powerful, but hard to reason about. Each quick fix widens access somewhere, and the cumulative effect goes unreviewed.
Identity hygiene slips too: users who left keep active accounts, MFA coverage has gaps, and failed login patterns that would signal an attack go unwatched.
What an org audit workflow looks like
A thorough audit exports the setup audit trail to see who changed what, login history and failed login attempts to watch authentication, and MFA status to find unprotected accounts.
On the authorization side, it exports profile permissions, sharing rules, and field-level security so access can be reviewed against intent — and it finds inactive users whose accounts and licenses should be reclaimed.
Audit the layers together Profile permissions, sharing rules, and field-level security interact — review them as a set. A restrictive profile means little if a sharing rule opens the records anyway.
How PSForge helps
PSForge provides the Salesforce building blocks — audit trail, login and MFA exports, permission and sharing exports, and inactive-user detection — so you can assemble one repeatable audit workflow.
Generate the PowerShell, schedule the exports, and review the org's real posture regularly.
- A record of configuration changes
- Watched authentication activity
- Access reviewed against intent

Final thoughts
Salesforce security is layered and drift-prone, which makes a scheduled, repeatable audit the only way to know the org's real posture.
Build it once in PSForge and audit every layer of the org on a regular cadence.
