Last week, someone added a System Administrator profile to a developer account. The week before, a new flow was activated that fires on every Opportunity update. Nobody approved either change.
This happens in every org I've worked in. Not because people are malicious — because Salesforce doesn't have built-in change monitoring that admins actually use.
Yes, Salesforce has the Setup Audit Trail. No, nobody checks it daily. It's a raw log with no scoring, no prioritization, and no alerts. By the time you find the problem, it's been in production for weeks.
I built a monitoring service that runs a full health scan every morning at 6am. If your score drops by 5+ points or new critical findings appear, you get an alert before your team even logs in.
Think of it as an alarm system for your Salesforce org. You don't check your home security cameras every day — but you want to know immediately if something's wrong.
Start with a free scan to see your baseline score. Then set up daily monitoring to keep it there.
