It exists\nbecause exposure events in Salesforce orgs — particularly involving guest\nusers, Experience Cloud, Data Cloud, or Marketing Cloud — can involve\nregulated personal data that triggers legal notification obligations. The\nprotocol must be followed immediately; it is not advisory after a trigger fires.</p>\n<h2>When to use</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Guest-user data exposure: an Experience Cloud site's guest-user profile or\nOWD gives unauthenticated access to records that should be restricted.</li>\n<li>Cross-org data sync without DPA: data is flowing between Salesforce orgs or\nto external systems without a documented Data Processing Agreement.</li>\n<li>Regulated-data Marketing Cloud sync without consent map: personal or\nregulated data is syncing to Marketing Cloud\nwithout a documented lawful basis and consent map.</li>\n<li>Experience Cloud sharing-set widening: a sharing set or sharing rule change\nhas expanded access to personal data beyond the intended scope.</li>\n<li>Data Cloud cross-org sharing: Data Cloud\nis sharing data across orgs without documented controls, purpose limitation,\nor appropriate consent.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>When not to use</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Routine permission review with no suspected exposure — use <code>salesforce-permission-model-review-skill</code>.</li>\n<li>Pre-change risk assessment before a deployment — use <code>salesforce-live-change-approval-protocol</code>.</li>\n<li>General security audit without a specific exposure event — use <code>salesforce-org-assessment-skill</code>.</li>\n<li>The trigger is hypothetical or a design question, not an observed event.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Minimum payload (required inputs)</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Description of the suspected exposure event (sanitized, no credentials or PII beyond what is strictly necessary to describe the exposure type).</li>\n<li>Trigger type (one or more from the trigger list above).</li>\n<li>Environment: is the exposure in a production org? (If unknown, assume yes.)</li>\n<li>Approximate time of discovery.</li>\n<li>Who discovered it and how.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Escalation response path</h2>\n<p><strong>Step 1 — Pause</strong>\nImmediately recommend pausing any ongoing data sync, automation, or\nconfiguration change that is contributing to the exposure. Do not delete\nevidence. Do not attempt to silently fix the configuration without escalation.</p>\n<p><strong>Step 2 — Preserve evidence</strong>\nRecommend capturing and preserving:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sanitized description of the configuration state (sharing rules, sharing\nsets, OWD, guest-user profile permissions, Data Cloud segment definitions,\nMarketing Cloud\ndata extension scope).</li>\n<li>Approximate time window of exposure.</li>\n<li>System or event logs if accessible (do not request log content containing PII).</li>\n<li>Change history (who changed what, when — from audit trail if available).</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Evidence must not be modified or deleted. If litigation hold risk exists,\nflag it immediately.</p>\n<p><strong>Step 3 — Name controllers and processors</strong>\nIdentify (using role/placeholder references, not real names):</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which Salesforce org is the data controller.</li>\n<li>Which system (org, cloud, middleware) is acting as a data processor.</li>\n<li>Which third parties received or may have received the data.</li>\n<li>Whether a DPA exists between controller and processor.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Step 4 — Escalate to privacy counsel and security</strong>\nRecommend immediate escalation to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Privacy counsel or Data Protection Officer (DPO) for assessment of\nnotification obligations under applicable law (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, or\nother jurisdiction-specific requirements).</li>\n<li>Information security team for technical containment assessment.</li>\n<li>Salesforce Trust (\n<a href=\"https://help.salesforce.com/s/trust\">https://help.salesforce.com/s/trust</a>) if the exposure may involve a\nSalesforce platform-level issue.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Do not conclude that notification is required or not required — that is a\nlegal determination for qualified counsel.</p>\n<p><strong>Step 5 — Document</strong>\nProduce a structured escalation record (salesforce-case-capsule with\nescalation_gate_fired = <code>production-data-exposure</code>) containing:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trigger type(s) fired.</li>\n<li>Evidence preservation status.</li>\n<li>Controller/processor identification (placeholder references).</li>\n<li>Escalation recipients (roles, not personal identifiers).</li>\n<li>Open questions for privacy counsel.</li>\n<li>Do-not-do list.</li>\n<li>Decision owner (named human).</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Workflow</h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Receive sanitized exposure description.</li>\n<li>Match against trigger list; identify all triggers that apply.</li>\n<li>Output ESCALATE immediately — do not defer.</li>\n<li>Execute steps 1–5 in order.</li>\n<li>Produce salesforce-case-capsule with escalation_gate_fired = <code>production-data-exposure</code>.</li>\n<li>List open questions for privacy counsel (do not answer them — they require legal determination).</li>\n<li>Remind invoker: no self-remediation without human authorization.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Evidence requirements</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Sanitized description of the configuration state at time of discovery.</li>\n<li>Trigger type(s) clearly identified.</li>\n<li>Time of discovery and approximate exposure window.</li>\n<li>Whether regulated data (PII, HIPAA, PCI, financial) is or may be involved.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Output format</h2>\n<pre><code>escalation_verdict: ESCALATE\ntriggers_fired: [list]\nenvironment: production | unknown (treat as production)\nregulated_data_in_scope: yes | no | unknown\npause_recommendation: [specific actions to pause]\nevidence_preservation_checklist: [items to capture]\ncontroller_processor_map: [placeholder references]\nescalation_recipients: [roles: privacy counsel, DPO, security team, Salesforce Trust if applicable]\nopen_questions_for_counsel: [list — do not answer]\ndo_not_do_list: [explicit prohibitions]\ndecision_owner: [named human role]\nsalesforce_case_capsule_required: true\n</code></pre>\n<h2>Redaction rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Never request secrets, credentials, OAuth tokens, refresh tokens, session IDs, MFA seeds, customer PII.</li>\n<li>Sanitize org IDs, user IDs (replace with placeholders) before sharing in outputs.</li>\n<li>Exposure descriptions must use role and system references, not real names or customer identifiers.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Privilege / data handling rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Escalation records may be subject to legal privilege if prepared in anticipation of litigation.\nFlag this and recommend handling only through or with counsel.</li>\n<li>Do not circulate the escalation record beyond the named escalation recipients.</li>\n<li>The escalation record is not a public incident disclosure; do not draft customer\ncommunications without qualified counsel involved.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Handoff rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Always hands off to salesforce-case-capsule with escalation_gate_fired = <code>production-data-exposure</code>.</li>\n<li>Escalates to privacy counsel (external) and security team (internal) as human recipients.</li>\n<li>If regulated-vertical is in scope, also escalates to compliance lead.</li>\n<li>Required handoff fields: trigger_type, environment, regulated_data_in_scope, evidence_preservation_status, decision_owner.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Audit log fields</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>matter_id, skill_id, skill_version, invoked_by, input_hash, evidence_quality, output_verdict, escalation_fired, timestamp</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Stop conditions</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Invoker provides real PII, credentials, or customer data in the description — stop and ask for sanitized version.</li>\n<li>Invoker requests self-remediation without human involvement — stop and refuse; escalation requires human authorization.</li>\n<li>Notification obligation is asserted or denied without counsel — stop and state that legal determination is required.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Security notes</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>This protocol never determines whether regulatory notification is required.\nThat is a legal determination for qualified privacy counsel.</li>\n<li>Pausing is always safer than attempting a silent configuration fix.</li>\n<li>Evidence must be preserved; do not recommend deletion of logs or configuration\nsnapshots even if they contain evidence of misconfiguration.</li>\n<li>Salesforce Trust contacts are referenced for platform-level issues only;\nverify current contact information at <a href=\"https://help.salesforce.com/s/trust\">https://help.salesforce.com/s/trust</a> before use.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"metadata.json","sizeBytes":1333,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":9077,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
