Salesforce Shield

I do not want to repeat what is the Salesforce Shield and how to set up it. For this purposes you can start with trailhead article Shield Platform Encryption. In this article I wanna to specify pain points that should be considered before enabling the Salesforce Shield fature. And remember, not all data is sensitive. Focus on information that requires encryption to meet your regulatory, security, compliance, and privacy requirements. Unnecessarily encrypting data impacts functionality and performance.

General considerations

• Not all fields can be encrypted

Considerations for Using Deterministic Encryption

• Fields encrypted with the deterministic encryption cannot be used in SOQL WHERE queries.
