            Manage Field-Level Encryption from the Shield App

            Set up and maintain your Field-Level Encryption (FLE) policy from the Shield app. Assess the impact of encrypting fields, turn encryption on or off, and update your encryption schemes as needed.

            Note
            Note This page is about Shield Platform Encryption, not Classic Encryption. What's the difference?

            FLE gives you fine-grained control over what to encrypt. By encrypting only the specific object fields that contain sensitive information, you can comply with your security needs without undue performance issues. When using FLE, we recommend that you focus on your most sensitive fields in alignment with your encryption policy.

            Shield Platform Encryption supports Field-Level Encryption on standard objects and custom objects. Both standard and custom objects can have standard and custom fields.

            After you set up a field for Field-Level Encryption, Shield Platform Encryption begins to encrypt records that are new or that are updated after you enable encryption. To encrypt data that existed before enabling encryption, you can synchronize your existing data with your active key material from the Encryption Statistics and Data Sync page.
