            Set Up Database Encryption

            You can choose to implement the broadest protection of your data by encrypting the entire transactional database. With database encryption, all data in the transactional database is encrypted at the data tier level.

            Required Editions

            Available in both Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs).
            Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited and Developer Editions. Requires purchasing Salesforce Shield or Shield Platform Encryption.
            Note
            Note This content relates to Shield Platform Encryption. Read about implementing field-level encryption using Shield Extension in Own from Salesforce.

            We recommend that you test Database Encryption in a dedicated Sandbox environment before enabling it in production. Check the required permissions for Shield Platform Encryption to make sure you have access to Setup.

            1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Encryption Settings, and then select Encryption Settings.
            2. In the Encryption Policy section, turn on Encrypt the Transactional Database.

            To ensure that the new Database Encryption tenant secret is backed up, Salesforce creates your first database tenant secret and begins encrypting new changes to your org 24 hours after enabling the toggle.

            Turning on database encryption affects new and modified content. The amount of time required for full re-encryption depends on the amount of data that was already in the Salesforce org.
