Salesforce Health Check Signs Your Org Needs an Audit

The org keeps growing, automations keep piling up, and nobody has reviewed access permissions in years.

You know an org needs a Salesforce Health Check when the same handful of symptoms start showing up together. Reports that give a different number depending on who pulls them. Permission sets nobody remembers granting. Flows nobody wants to touch because nobody is sure what they'd break. If two or three of those sound familiar, the org is already overdue.

Four warning signs inside the org — one six-domain Health Check report that names every one of them.

What an unaudited org tends to look like

Custom fields nobody remembers the purpose of

Still sitting on every page layout, slowing down load times, and appearing on reports where they were never meant to.

Orphaned Flows referencing deleted objects or fields

Active automations pointing at things that no longer exist — running silently, failing silently, or doing nothing at all.

Permission sets that have grown broader with every hire and never been trimmed

The easiest fix at onboarding time becomes a security exposure the moment someone changes roles or leaves the company.

Duplicate records quietly skewing every report that touches them

Two records for the same account mean two pipelines, two activity histories, and one number nobody fully trusts.

Why this is a risk now, not a someday problem

None of this happens on purpose. It happens because Salesforce is flexible enough to absorb years of quick fixes without ever forcing a cleanup, so the org keeps working just well enough that nobody schedules the review.

A former employee with an active login is a live exposure the moment they leave, not a theoretical one. Reports that take too long to load or automations that quietly conflict cost real working hours every single week, not just at renewal time. The longer the mess sits, the more new work gets built on top of it, and the more expensive the eventual cleanup gets.

What a Salesforce Health Check covers

A TrueSolv Health Check reviews six domains in one pass: Security and access controls. Data quality and management. System performance and scalability. Org structure and customization. License and contract usage. Integrations and API health.

The client walks away with a findings report running twenty to forty pages, each issue rated by severity with a plain language explanation and a specific fix. An executive summary condenses the top priorities for anyone who wasn't in the weeds. An action item list with effort estimates plugs straight into a sprint, and a quick wins checklist flags what an admin can fix the same afternoon.

The org keeps working just well enough that nobody schedules the review. That's what makes the mess expensive — it compounds every week you don't look at it.
