Squivr’s Application:

Is fully native to Salesforce, leveraging the robust security controls inherent to the Salesforce platform to mitigate web application vulnerabilities. Salesforce employs a multi-layered security framework that includes protection against common classes of web application vulnerabilities such as injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
Key Salesforce-native security measures include:

1. Web Application Security Frameworks: Salesforce provides built-in protections such as security-aware API endpoints, content security policies, and strict data validation mechanisms.

2. Platform Integrity: Salesforce uses a web application firewall (WAF) as part of its infrastructure to detect and block malicious web traffic, providing additional protection against web vulnerabilities.

3. Data Access Controls: Role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) ensure secure user access and protect against unauthorized data exposure.

By building exclusively on the Salesforce platform, Squivr benefits from Salesforce’s continuous updates, compliance with industry standards, and active threat monitoring, ensuring strong mitigation of web application vulnerabilities.

A key pillar of Squivr’s software security is our Salesforce-native architecture, which provides a strong foundation for data protection, compliance, and trust. Since our solution operates entirely within the Salesforce platform, PowerSchool data never leaves your Salesforce environment.

This means:

• No external hosting or data replication: All data remains under your direct control within the Salesforce instance you already manage and trust.

• Inherited security controls: Squivr leverages Salesforce’s enterprise-grade security, including physical infrastructure protections, encryption at rest and in transit, identity and access management, and continuous compliance with frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP (for Government Cloud deployments).

• No third-party integrations required for core functionality, reducing exposure and simplifying your risk surface.

• Role-based access and native sharing rules ensure that Squivr respects and reinforces your existing Salesforce security model.

• Auditability: Since all activity remains within Salesforce, admins maintain full visibility and control using standard Salesforce audit logs, permission sets, and admin tools.

By building directly within Salesforce, Squivr avoids many of the data handling risks associated with external SaaS platforms. This architecture not only reduces security overhead but also helps streamline compliance for organizations that require strict governance over data and operational systems.
