Why do we need UTAM in Salesforce?

In the context of Salesforce, UTAM stands for User Trust and Asset Management. UTAM is a framework and set of processes that Salesforce implements to ensure the security, privacy, and trustworthiness of its platform and services. It serves several important purposes:
Security: UTAM helps maintain the security of Salesforce by implementing various measures such as access controls, authentication mechanisms, encryption, and vulnerability management. It ensures that user data and assets stored in Salesforce are protected against unauthorized access or breaches.
Compliance: UTAM helps Salesforce meet various compliance requirements and industry standards such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and ISO 27001. It includes processes for data privacy, data retention, data access controls, and auditing, enabling organizations to align with regulatory requirements.
