Internet Creations AppExchange Applications and Shield Platform Encryption
Summary
Per Salesforce documentation, Shield Platform Encryption gives your data a whole new layer of security while preserving critical
platform functionality. It enables you to encrypt sensitive data at rest, and not just when transmitted
over a network, so your company can confidently comply with privacy policies, regulatory
requirements, and contractual obligations for handling private data.
Shield Platform Encryption builds on the data encryption options that Salesforce offers out of the
box. Data stored in many standard and custom fields and in files and attachments is encrypted
using an advanced HSM-based key derivation system, so it is protected even when other lines of
defense have been compromised. |
Details
There are certain platform limitations that prevent us from fully supporting this feature. For example, fields referenced in the WHERE, GROUP BY, or ORDER BY clauses in a SOQL query are not eligible for encryption. Additionally, Salesforce will prevent AppExchange applications from being installed if there are existing encrypted fields in your organization that need to be referenced in the SOQL queries of a packaged component.
