Salesforce Shield

Shield improvements cut down on clicks and save you time. Scan more of your data, including encrypted data, in more detail with Data Detect. You can also schedule and automate Data Detect scans. Manage your field-level encryption policy, check for encryption blockers, and download field history changes directly in the Shield App. New Profile ID and Role ID fields for all real-time events make it easier to build Transaction Security policies via the Condition Builder.

  • Data Detect
    Data Detect now offers enhanced capabilities for continuous compliance monitoring through automated, recurring (weekly, monthly, or yearly) scans. In addition, you can scan to include precise keyword and phrase matching by using user-defined dictionaries, greatly improving compliance adherence and content moderation. Broaden your data privacy reach by scanning encrypted text-based fields like Text, Long Text Area, Rich Text Area, Text Area, and text (encrypted). Data Detect supports field scanning with Field level Encryption or Classic Encryption for fields, but encryption does increase the total scan time by approximately one and a half times. You can now enjoy easier data review with excerpt snippets coupled with important security controls.
  • Event Monitoring
    New event IDs and Transaction Security Policy controls improve the overall security posture of orgs and their users.
  • Field Audit Trail
    The Field History Explorer now allows users to download field history changes for any record directly from the page
  • Shield Platform Encryption
    Start managing your Field-Level Encryption (FLE) policy from the Shield app. Prepare for the legacy FLE experience retirement from Setup in Winter ’27. Sync large amounts of data to your active key with fewer delays.
