Aerospace & Defense
Aerospace and defense is a Kern EDC target industry, anchored by two military test installations in East Kern, with suppliers and accelerator-backed startups working around them. Companies selling into that community face customer security questions about their systems. The health check documents authentication, admin rights, export permissions and audit trails, and looks for technical data or controlled documents stored in Salesforce files, notes or attachments, where they should not be.
Utilities
Utility and power organizations hold large volumes of customer data and are accountable to regulators for protecting it. The health check reviews who can reach customer, account and program records, how portal and guest access is configured, whether sensitive fields are encrypted and tracked, and what each integration with billing, asset or outage systems can read or change. Findings are ranked by exposure, so the most significant risks are addressed first.
Healthcare Services
Health providers in Kern County, a sector Kern EDC targets, use Salesforce for referrals, patient outreach and access. The health check confirms that protected information is limited to the right people, that referral and outreach processes do not copy clinical details into notes or emails, and that consent is captured properly for marketing. We also assess data quality in patient and provider records, which determines whether AI features could be used safely.
