What Is Arovy? The Salesforce Security & Governance Platform Explained

Written by Admin | Aug 29, 2025 4:38:13 PM

What Is Arovy?

Arovy is an all-in-one Salesforce security and governance platform that unifies data governance, data protection, and operational visibility so Security and Operations teams can move fast without adding risk. Built on years of hands-on Salesforce expertise, it’s vital as AI and Agentforce accelerate, privacy rules tighten, and breaches rise.

Inside Arovy,  the Salesforce Security & Governance Platform

What does "Arovy" mean?

In Malagasy (the national language of Madagascar), arovy is the imperative “protect / preserve.” It comes from the verb miaro (“to protect; defend”), and is related to fiarovana (“protection; security”).

Why this name fits our vision?

Arovy exists to help Salesforce teams protect what matters—data, uptime, and trust. The name reflects our focus on reducing risk, preventing data loss, supporting governance, and accelerating strategic projects like AI adoption.

The Arovy Platform: Seven Pillars for Salesforce Peace‑of‑Mind

Arovy offers the following products:

Salesforce Data Dictionary

Arovy offers an automated, centralized repository of metadata, business context, and classification that describes the objects, fields, data types, and relationships within Salesforce orgs.

Impact Analysis & Dependency Mapping

Intelligent impact analysis maps dependencies across your Salesforce org, letting you scope changes with confidence and catch breakages before they occur. 

Change Tracking & Enhanced Audit Trail

Need to know who did what, when, and why? Arovy records every configuration change in a searchable timeline so you can reverse‑engineer issues in minutes.

Salesforce Data Classification

Classify sensitive Salesforce data as it’s created, ensuring the right rules are applied automatically.

Application Security Monitoring

Get alerted the moment a new integration appears or an existing one changes access scopes. See all your connected apps at a glance.

API Monitoring & System Uptime

Silent outages cost money. Arovy tracks API health and usage anomalies so you can fix issues before users even notice.

Threat Detection & Risk Mitigation

Visual dashboards highlight suspicious activity and recommend next steps—turning complex security signals into clear action plans.

 

Why Teams Choose Arovy

  • Salesforce + Security + Governance Expertise:
    • Most organizations have a major gap between Salesforce, Security & Governance teams. Arovy is built by Salesforce experts that deeply understand these key areas, and their experience is baked into every feature. 
  • AI adoption and acceleration:
    • Arovy not only helps Salesforce customers adopt AI faster, but Arovy also incorporates AI into its own solutions (e.g. Automated Data Dictionary)
  • Shield Acceleration
    • Arovy builds upon Salesforce’s native tools (like Shield) and adds enhanced visualization, proactive insights, and action plans,  far exceeding what Salesforce alone provides.
  • AI-powered platform:
    • Arovy's generates descriptions, help text, metadata inline (and more) to streamline classification and governance.

 

Common Use Cases for Arovy

  • AI Adoption: Without a clear understanding of how data is structured, classified, and used, AI models like Agentforce can pull duplicate, inaccurate, or sensitive fields, leading to unreliable results and potential data exposure. Arovy’s data dictionary solves this challenge with automated metadata documentation.

  • Preventing Deployment Breaks – Arovy provides a map to assess the scope of impact and spot configuration downtime before they occur, increasing transparency into the interconnectivity and automations that keep your CRM running.

  • Eliminating Tech Debt – Manage tech debt effectively and productively with automated clean-ups and insights into every piece of data and configuration.

  • Automating Access Audits – Automated access audits with Arovy reveal hidden risks, enforce security policies, and keep data secure and compliant.

  • Visualizing Connected Apps – See which third‑party tools have API access to Salesforce and how they use them.

  • Optimizing Shield – Feed Shield Event Monitoring data into Arovy for richer anomaly detection.
