Which Standard Fields Can I Encrypt?
With field-level encryption, you can encrypt certain fields that you select on standard and custom objects. With some exceptions, encrypted fields work normally throughout the Salesforce user interface, business processes, and APIs. If you use Database Encryption, all standard fields are encrypted.
Required Editions
| Available in both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience. |
| Available in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions with the Salesforce Shield or Shield Platform Encryption licenses. |
| Available for free in Developer Edition. |
When you encrypt a field, existing values aren’t encrypted immediately. Values are encrypted only after they’re touched or after they’re synchronized with the latest encryption policy. Synchronize existing data with your policy from Setup on the Encryption Statistics page.
If you configure fields for encryption using FLE when Database Encryption is on, the field encryption happens first.
Compatible Standard Fields
You can encrypt the contents of these standard field types.

| Account Participant | Comments | The Account Participant object is available in select Salesforce Industries products. |
| Accounts | Account Name Account Site Billing Address (encrypts Billing Street and Billing City) Description Fax Phone Shipping Address (encrypts Shipping Street and Shipping City) Website |
If you enabled Person Accounts, certain account and contact fields are combined into one record. In that case, you can enable encryption for a different set of Account fields. |
| Accounts with Person Accounts enabled | Account Name Account Site Assistant Assistant Phone Billing Address (encrypts Billing Street and Billing City) Description Fax Home Phone Mailing Address (encrypts Mailing Street and Mailing City) Mobile Other Address (encrypts Other Street and Other City) Other Phone Phone Shipping Address (encrypts Shipping Street and Shipping City) Title Website |
Custom fields selected for encryption on the Contact object are also encrypted on the Account object. See Which Custom Fields Can I Encrypt? |
| Activity | Description (encrypts Event—Description and Task—Comment) Subject (encrypts Event—Subject and Task—Subject) |
Selecting an Activity field encrypts that field on standalone events, event series (Lightning Experience), and recurring events (Salesforce Classic). |
