Native Platform Encryption

Data present in the cloud can contain personally identifiable information (or PII). These PIIs can put individuals at risk and can lead to many legal complications. Therefore, it’s preferred to be on the safe side and have the entirety of the platform encrypted. Core features will always be available during all of this, like workflow, search, and validation rules. Protect your sensitive data from unauthorized users by setting your own encrypted data permissions and control over encryption keys.
