Set Up Your Encryption Policy

An encryption policy is your plan for encrypting data with Shield Platform Encryption. You can choose how you want to implement it. For example, you can encrypt individual fields and apply different encryption schemes to those fields. Or you can choose to encrypt other data elements such as files and attachments, data in Chatter, or search indexes. Remember that encryption is not the same thing as field-level security or object-level security. Put those controls in place before you implement your encryption policy.
