Disclaimer: The use cases described here are illustrative examples of how to leverage Agentforce Vibes or “Vibe Coding” tools; these are not built-in product features. All generated code must be maintained according to your security guidelines. Many scenarios can be implemented via low-code—choose the approach that fits your skillset.

The Rise of Vibe Coding in Security

Vibe Coding is here to stay. Whether it’s building rapid POCs or explaining complex features, these tools have become a game-changer for developers. While they continue to mature to handle more mission-critical tasks, they have already proven their value. For Salesforce customers prioritising security and compliance, Agentforce Vibes is an ideal candidate due to its integrated, in-house capabilities.

Trusted Services are Salesforce’s purpose-built security and compliance accelerators, designed to help customers continuously assess, monitor, and strengthen their security posture. They provide deep insight into how your org is actually behaving—far beyond static configuration checks. However, security challenges are rarely one-size-fits-all. Many real-world requirements sit just outside the boundaries of standard product features, not because they lack importance, but because they are highly contextual. This is where Vibe Coding becomes a force multiplier: enabling you to extend Trusted Services into tailored, high-impact use cases that address your organisation’s specific risk landscape.

Below, we explore how to amplify your security toolset usage with Agentforce Vibes. Pick and choose the use cases that align with your specific portfolio. The best part? Stick around for a bonus at the end.

Phase 1: Event Monitoring (EM)

Event Monitoring (EM) provides unprecedented visibility into your applications, allowing you to track who is accessing what data and when. Beyond granular logs, EM offers mechanisms to monitor specific real-time events, this capability is called Transaction Security Policies:

  • (1) Apex-based Transaction Security Policies (TSPs): While the Condition Builder is a powerful low-code tool for alerts, certain use cases require Apex. Our product team has curated a list of the most common use cases here for you to explore. However, for those highly specific scenarios unique to your organisation, Agentforce Vibes can step in to bridge the gap. By describing your specific conditions and the objects involved, you can generate an initial draft of the Apex class you need.
    • Pro Tip: Use @ mentions to provide object details so the agent understands the specific metadata schema you would like to use.

Agent Mode: Act

Objective
Create an Apex class for a Transaction Security Policy (TSP) that restricts file downloads outside business hours.
Context / References
Interface: TxnSecurity.EventCondition
Example Reference:
https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.enhanced_transaction_security_policy_apex_examples.htm&type=5
Event Object: FileEventStore
Object Reference:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.platform_events.meta/platform_events/sforce_api_objects_fileevent.htm

Requirements
Event Object: FileEventStore
Policy triggers when a file download is attempted outside business hours.
Business Hours:
Monday to Friday
10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Exclusion: Users with the System Administrator profile must be exempt.

Functional Logic
Evaluate FileEventStore.Operation == 'Download'Retrieve the user’s Profile Name using FileEvent.UserId
Return true to trigger the policy action when conditions are met

Output Expectations
Provide a clean, optimised Apex class named RestrictFileDownloadByTimeInclude inline comments explaining the logic

Access / Availability
Ensure the class is accessible to all core profiles
  • (2) Intelligent TSP Suggestions: Agentforce Vibes can analyse your repository to identify sensitive information based on naming conventions and descriptions, recommending new, tailored TSPs you might have missed.

Agent Mode: Plan

Objective
Analyse Salesforce metadata to identify security gaps and recommend new Tenant Security Policies (TSPs).
Context / Scope
Analyse the following metadata types:
Custom Objects
Fields
Apex Code
Flow Definitions
Requirements
Metadata Analysis

TSP Recommendations
Provide 3–5 tailored TSPs, each including:
Policy Name
Rationale
Configuration Logic (specific triggers or patterns)
Priority Level (High / Medium / Low)

(3) Custom Reporting on Event Log Objects: Since Event Monitoring logs reside in standard objects, you can build custom reports that surface key trends from the event types most relevant to your business. For example, to identify potential data exfiltration, you might track instances where a user suddenly downloads an unusual volume of attachments. To visualise this, we will create a Lightning Web Component (LWC) that surfaces these insights, allowing us to embed the dashboard directly into our Shield app.

Agent Mode: Act

Objective
Develop a Lightning Web Component dashboard to visualise file activity.
Context / References
LWC Name: attachmentLogsDashboard
Apex Controller: AttachmentEventLogController
Target Object: AttachmentEventLog
Object Reference:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.258.0.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_attachmenteventlog.htm

Phase 2: Security Centre

Security Centre offers a centralised view of your security posture, and you can further extend its impact by leveraging Custom Metrics. This framework allows you to track business-essential data in custom objects and surface it in a single dashboard.

  • 4) Scalable Custom Metric Development: Agentforce Vibes can significantly accelerate the creation of the underlying infrastructure required for Custom Metrics. Whether you need to define a custom object to house security data or generate the scheduled logic to populate it, these tools can handle the heavy lifting. Example: You could build an automated “Storage Snapshot” tool that runs monthly, captures current record counts, and stores them in a custom object to be surfaced directly within your Security Centre dashboard as a historical trend.

Agent Mode: Act

Objective
Create a custom Security Centre metric to track Salesforce storage consumption over time.
Metric Data Requirements
Storage Categories
Data Storage: Limit, Used, Used (%)
File Storage: Limit, Used, Used (%)
Big Object Storage: Limit, Used, Used (%)
Top Consumers
Top 10 objects by storage usage per storage type
For each object:
Record Count
Storage Used
Percentage of Total Storage
Store object-level data in JSON fields
Custom Object Guidelines
Create a custom object and fields compatible with Security Centre Custom Metrics
Required Fields:
RecordProductionDate (Date/Time, Required)
TenantId (Text, Length 15, Required)
Automation Requirements
Scheduled Apex job:
Runs daily
Queries OrgLimits API
Persists records for 2 years
Additional Deliverables
Generate 30 days of dummy historical data
Create an LWC to visualise 2-year storage growth trends
Ensure the LWC is available as a Lightning Component Tab

Privacy Centre simplifies data privacy management, whether it is helping you automate Right to Be Forgotten and Data Portability requests or supporting your path through Consent Management.

  • (5) Lifecycle Reporting: A key use case here is understanding the “flow” of privacy. Use Agentforce Vibes to build reports on how Data Subject Requests (DSRs) are being fulfilled, the fulfilment rate, and which objects are most frequently involved.

Agent mode: Act

Objective
Visualise the lifecycle of Privacy Right to Be Forgotten (RTBF) requests.
Context
Target Object: PrivacyRTBFRequest
Requirements
Data Aggregation
Aggregate record counts by Status:
Cancelled
Complete
Error
Pending
Scheduled
Visualisation Logic
Group results into:
Upcoming: Scheduled, Pending
Finalised: Complete
Exceptions: Error, Cancelled
UI Requirements
Progress-style dashboard
Header tiles showing:
Total Requests (Last 30 Days)
Access / Availability
Available on:
App Pages
Home Pages
  • (6) Consent Visibility: Privacy Centre integrates with the standard Consent Data Model. If you have worked with this model before, you likely know that its flexibility allows you to use only the objects relevant to your specific needs; this means your implementation—and the prompts you create—may differ significantly from mine. Currently, the default Consent Data Model does not include a pre-built component to display all consent captured for a specific Contact or User. This is where you can use Vibe Coding to build a custom Lightning Web Component (LWC) that provides a centralised view in the exact format your business requires.
Objective
Display communication subscriptions related to a Contact using Salesforce Consent Data Model.
Context
LWC: subscriptionRelatedList
Apex Controller: SubscriptionController
Data Model 
CommSubscription
Related DataUsePurpose
Child CommSubscriptionChannelType
Related CommSubscriptionConsent
Apex Controller Requirements
Query subscriptions with:
Child channel types
Aggregated consent counts
Support optional recordId filtering
Use cacheable methods
LWC Features
Card-based layout displaying:
Subscription name (clickable)
Data use purpose
Channel type icons (Email, Phone, Web, Newsletter)
Active consent count
Navigation to subscription record
Wire service with refresh
Empty-state handling

Phase 4: Backup, Restore & Archive

  • (7) On-Demand Backups: Leverage the Backup API to trigger on-demand backups. This is particularly useful when you need a shorter Recovery Point Objective (RPO) than the standard 24-hour window before a major deployment.
Objective
Trigger an OwnBackup “backup now” job every 12 hours using Scheduled Apex.
Context / Reference
Endpoint:
regional_domain/api/v1/services/service_id/backup_now
API Documentation:
https://apidocs.ownbackup.com/#c3eabd84-8026-4ec2-8471-28f16645b255
Implementation Requirements
Global Apex class implementing Schedulable
HTTP POST callout to OwnBackup endpoint
Secure configuration using:
Preferred: Named Credential
Alternative: Protected Custom Metadata / Hierarchy Custom Setting
Robust error handling:
Status codes
Response body
Exception handling
Inline comments explaining:
Scheduling via Setup
Scheduling via System.schedule
Testing Requirements
Generate a test class
Structure code to support HTTP callout mocking

Phase 5: Archive

Archive helps with data minimisation while maintaining access to historical records via the UI tools and programmatic options like Archive SDK.

  • (8) Custom Visualisation & Unarchiving: You can customise how archived data is visualised or build custom “unarchive” logic. For example, imagine you have an Opportunity (the parent) sitting in the “Negotiation” stage. You want to move it to “Closed Won,” but your business logic requires that there must be at least one Active Quote or Signed Contract (the children) attached. If those documents were archived (perhaps by an automated cleanup script or a trigger-happy admin), moving to “Closed Won” without them would result in a compliance nightmare.
Objective
Determine whether archived child records exist for a given parent record.
Context
SDK: OB_Archiver
Method Signature
Boolean hasArchivedRecords(String parentId, String childObj, String lookupFld)
Functional Logic
Use OB_Archiver.ArchiverAccessor.performArchiverGlobalSearch
Apply SearchFilter(lookupFld, parentId)
If records are found, return true immediately
If no records:
Continue paging using getNextPage(scrollId)
Stop only when:
All pages are checked
No results found
Technical Constraints
Only process responses where statusCode == 200
Return false only after all pages are exhausted

Bonus: Security Insights from Audit Trails

You can leverage out-of-the-box capabilities like Login History and Setup Audit Trail to gather deep security insights. Imagine instantly generating a dashboard that analyses login errors, locations, and specific app usage over the last six months. These administrative logs are a goldmine for proactive security.

Final Recommendations:

Thank you for sticking with us to the very end. The scenarios covered in this article are not meant to be prescriptive solutions, but illustrative examples of how Agentforce Vibes can be applied to address highly specific requirements. The goal is to spark ideas, encourage experimentation, and demonstrate that when paired with Salesforce security features, these tools can meaningfully extend your security capabilities beyond standard configurations.

With the right context, governance, and engineering discipline, the possibilities are broad, and the ceiling is far higher than it may initially appear.

To wrap up, here are a few final recommendations to keep in mind.

Sandbox First

Great ideas are not production-ready by default. Always validate vibe-coded solutions before deployment.

  • Developer Sandbox: Experiment safely. Iterate on prompts and refine logic without touching live data.
  • Full Copy Sandbox: Test in a production replica to validate integrations, volumes, and dependencies.
  • Scale Testing: Simulate peak traffic. For example:
    During the 5,000-user spike, did the attachmentLogsDashboard LWC or its Apex controller create performance risks?

Validate performance before your users do.

Context is King

Provide as much context as possible in your prompts. Use @ mentions for documentation, sample code, and object definitions to improve accuracy.

Security First

Always follow the Principle of Least Privilege. Ask yourself: Who should have access to this custom metric? Who is authorised to run this on-demand backup job?

Best practice in the loop

Follow your team and development general best practices. E.g. Indentation, Test Classes, # of attributes per method and always design with operations in mind by adding logging and error handling.
