            Platform Encryption Analyzer in Shield Extension

            By encrypting sensitive data, you build extra layers of data protection and work toward meeting compliance and regulatory requirements. The Shield Extension managed package includes the Platform Encryption Analyzer, a tool for identifying and assessing fields that are suitable for field-level encryption. It simplifies the encryption process and helps you implement your encryption policies faster.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions with the Salesforce Shield or Salesforce Shield Platform Encryption add-on subscription.

            With the Platform Encryption Analyzer, select and analyze fields for compatibility with field-level encryption. The detailed analysis applies one of four categories to each field: All Clear (ready for encryption), Blocked by Configuration (requires adjustments), Blocked by Platform (can't be encrypted due to platform limitations), and Encrypted by Shield (already encrypted). With this information, identify which configurations impact blocked fields and know where to go to make them encryptable. Analyzing fields for compatibility before you start saves you time when setting up your encryption policy.

            You can also use Sensitivity Level and Compliance Category filters to focus on the most sensitive fields. This analysis lets you make smart choices about which fields to encrypt and which to leave out from field-level encryption, based on your company's needs. For instance, an admin sees that the Credit Card Number field value is All Clear and can be encrypted, but the Social Security Number field value is Blocked by Configuration and requires adjustments before encryption. The admin can then adjust the necessary settings and encrypt the Social Security Number field. This strategy ensures the operational integrity of the Salesforce environment while safeguarding critical data.
