Track Every Change in Salesforce with Odaseva Data Trail

Do you want the power to audit every change to your Salesforce data in real time, and look back on those changes for 10+ years — even if the record has been deleted? Is aligning with global compliance standards like SOX, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, and SOC 2 difficult, but critically important to your organization? Do you use Salesforce Shield, but need to support formula fields, long text fields, and/or more than 100 tracked fields?

Enterprises running on Salesforce face significant challenges keeping up with global compliance standards. Your insights into what data has changed may be restricted. Limited data retention periods fail to meet legislative requirements. And even with tools in place, supporting complex field types, maintaining long-term Salesforce data history, and ensuring data integrity remain daunting tasks.

Odaseva Data Trail (formerly called Odaseva Data History) is designed to solve these pressing data challenges head-on.

What is Odaseva Data Trail?

Odaseva Data Trail delivers next-level Salesforce audit trail capabilities for fast-moving enterprise environments. With it, you can:

  • Track every change to your Salesforce data — with no restrictions on field types or number of fields, retaining history for up to 10 years even after records are deleted from Salesforce
  • Store billions of Salesforce data changes for 10+ years to support long-term compliance and data governance strategies
  • Support security monitoring with granular activity logs for your SecOps team
  • Search for and instantly rollback Salesforce data changes directly within the native Salesforce UI, with the ability to preview and modify each change before reverting
  • Leverage your Salesforce data history for analytics and AI by exporting change history to your data lake
  • Drive Salesforce adoption by auditing who is — or isn't — updating records

Why Choose Odaseva Data Trail Over Native Salesforce Tools?

Salesforce's native Field History Tracking and Field Audit Trail offer some visibility, but restrict the number and types of fields tracked. They also store your data history in their standard database, and lack robust search and rollback capabilities — falling short of growing compliance and operational demands.

Extend Salesforce Shield

Odaseva Data Trail is designed to complement and augment the foundational data security capabilities of Salesforce Shield Field Audit Trail. For example, if you have certain accounts under legal hold, you can extend tracking capabilities for these records in addition to existing Shield capabilities. And whereas Salesforce tracks every object broadly, Odaseva Data Trail allows you to deep dive into specific critical objects for more targeted analysis.

Align with Global Data Compliance Standards

Complete tracking of modifications within Salesforce means that enterprises not only meet but exceed audit requirements for SOX, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, and SOC 2. This capability is critical for maintaining transparency and accuracy in financial reporting, safeguarding Protected Health Information (PHI), and managing information security risks effectively.

Zero Trust Encrypted Storage

Odaseva utilizes encrypted, Zero Trust storage to securely manage extensive data histories — providing powerful defense against data breaches. As a no-view provider, Odaseva cannot access your data.

One-Click Setup

Fast and easy implementation. Odaseva Data Trail can be configured in one click and integrates natively into the Salesforce UI for seamless user adoption.

Enter a New Era of Salesforce Data Security

Odaseva Data Trail solves critical challenges for enterprises striving to navigate the complex landscape of Salesforce data protection and compliance. By addressing data tracking, long-term retention, and instant rollback in a single solution, it enables organizations to manage their Salesforce data with confidence. It's not just about meeting compliance requirements — it's about building a foundation of trust, security, and operational excellence.

With Odaseva + Salesforce Shield, you gain complete visibility and control over your Salesforce data.
