or invocations from other processes or flows. Flows can also send email alerts as part of their
actions. To send a notification when a record is deleted and by whom, and to maintain their own
discovery information, an administrator can use a flow that runs when a record is deleted, queries
the record owner’s email address and discovery information from another object or variable, and
sends an email alert with those details. Reference:

Question 9

Cloud Kicks (CK) has deployed several new custom apps that use Lightning Web components. The
administrator is now concerned that they may need to make some adjustments to CK’s org to make it
more secure.
Which tools should the administrator use to expose possible security risks within a Lightning web
component?

  • A. Health Check
  • B. Master Encryption Keys
  • C. Salesforce Optimizer
  • D. Self-signed Certificates
Mark Question:
Answer:

A


Explanation:
The most suitable tool to identify potential security risks associated with Lightning Web Components
is the Health Check. Health Check allows Salesforce administrators to evaluate and monitor the
security posture of their Salesforce org by comparing its settings against Salesforce's recommended
security baseline. This feature provides visibility into settings like session security, password policies,
and more, which can directly impact the security of custom apps using Lightning Web Components.
Health Check:
Salesforce Health Check examines various security settings in your Salesforce org and provides a
score based on how closely your settings align with Salesforce's recommended security baseline.
By using this tool, administrators can identify vulnerabilities and see specific actions to remediate
any security gaps found within the org.
Health Check is especially relevant when evaluating new custom applications and components since
it can highlight areas that require tightening security to meet organizational standards.
Other options listed:
Master Encryption Keys is relevant for managing encryption but not directly for identifying security
risks.
Salesforce Optimizer is used for overall performance and usage insights and doesn’t specifically focus
on security assessments.
Self-signed Certificates are primarily used for secure communications and do not serve as a tool for
security risk assessment.
Therefore, Health Check is the best tool to help the administrator expose potential security risks
within the custom Lightning Web Components.
Reference: As per Salesforce documentation, Health Check provides a comprehensive view of the
security health of your org, making it an essential tool for identifying and managing security settings
within Salesforce​.

summary field until after the transaction is committed. This could cause inaccurate or outdated
information to be delivered to the agent if the flow relies on the roll-up summary field value.
