Salesforce Shield Learning Maps

This set of learning maps helps you start using Shield right away and craft auditing, encryption, monitoring, and security analysis solutions.

• Quick Start for Salesforce Shield
  Set up Shield features and start using them right away. This learning map guides you through how to scan your org for sensitive data, encrypting search indexes with just a few clicks, setting up access to event logs, and creating a prebuilt transaction security policy. You can also see how others are using Shield as part of their broader Salesforce implementation strategy and learn more about Shield features.
• Use Shield to Meet Auditing and Compliance Requirements
  Audits are a critical step in meeting data governance and compliance requirements. Shield and non-Shield features combine to help you track field history, create data retention policies, store event data, and keep tabs on important changes like encryption key rotation.
• Encrypt Sensitive Data and Manage Key Material
  Learn how to plan and create an encryption policy, and manage encryption keys. Shield Platform Encryption offers varying levels of specificity, ranging from full database encryption to granular field-level encryption. Multiple key management and storage options help you craft a strategy that’s right for you.
• Check in on Your Data (And Who’s Using It)
  Use Event Monitoring and non-Shield Salesforce tools for an in-depth look into who’s using your data and how. Monitoring not only helps you understand how well your security policies are working, but also how users and systems respond to changes in system settings and company policies.
• Measure Feature Adoption and Performance with Shield
  When you implement changes, such as new apps or login flows, it’s good to know how your apps and systems perform. Use Event Monitoring to analyze data, custom Apex class performance, network performance, bulk API actions, and more. For customers who purchase Security Center in addition to Shield, you get visualizations and aggregate data about Shield usage and metrics.
