Security dashboard

JT
Jenny Takahara, November 2, 2023
Note: Some security dashboard features are only available on Pipedrive's Enterprise plan.
The security dashboard is only visible by default to admin users. Visibility of the security dashboard for regular users can be turned on by admin users under permissions.


Data security is one of the most important components of any customer-facing business. With the security dashboard feature, you will be given full transparency of user access and security-related activity in your Pipedrive company account, as well as tips on how to improve the security settings of your data.



To see the security dashboard of your Pipedrive company account, go to Settings > Security center > Dashboard.

Security Assessment

Note: This is available on all Pipedrive plans.


This Security assessment section will give you a report on what Pipedrive believes are potential security vulnerabilities in your Pipedrive company account, based on current access and permission-related user settings.

The measures are categorized as HIGH-RISK ISSUES, LOW-RISK ISSUES, or NON-ISSUES. If there are any high-risk or low-risk issues, alerts and suggestions will be provided to help decrease the amount of security risk that is detected in your company account.

To see the measures that Pipedrive uses to assess account security, you can click on "See what you can improve".

Clicking on "Review permissions" will bring you directly to the company's permission settings so you can adjust your user permissions accordingly.
Clicking on the question mark icon next to each measure will provide a tooltip from Pipedrive on how you can improve this particular security measure in your company settings.

Note: Depending on the nature and setup of your business, the security alerts and tips suggested may not be of critical urgency to your company account. We recommend looking over the measures to see which ones may be the most relevant to you before making any permission or setting changes.

Active devices
