            Data Detect

            Data Detect helps you identify sensitive data within your org so you can take steps to protect it. It uses native platform-native technology so that you don’t rely on third-party services or port your data outside of Salesforce. Use Data Detect to expedite data categorization by aligning data sensitivity levels and categories to actual field data.

              Here are suggestions for improving your organization’s security posture around sensitive information handling.
            • Create and Run a Scan
              Create a Data Detect scan policy to find sensitive data that users inadvertently enter into fields across your Salesforce Org. Run scans to detect instances of the custom patterns.
            • See and Act on Scan Results
              You can view your results for any sensitive data that was detected. After you've reviewed the Data Detect scan policy results, use them to bolster your data security and privacy strategy, especially with specific fields that have excessively sensitive data.
