How to Protect Sensitive Data on the Cloud

You don’t even have to break any data regulations around the world to do it.

More often than not, companies have extremely sensitive data that they are apprehensive about hosting in the cloud.

But with CipherCloud, organisations are able to control and maintain the benefits of Salesforce while protecting the visibility of their data. This is done by going well beyond the field level encryption offered by Salesforce. This means that you can do all sorts of encryption, including the entire record of Chatter (a chat tool available on Salesforce).

CipherCloud allows multinational organisations to comply with data regulations across the globe without the cost and inconvenience of having to manage multiple orgs. The encryption is fast and non-intrusive to users. Features such as search, Chatter, views, reports, and third-party apps continue to perform well.

If you’re from the:

Finance Industry
A customer’s personal data can be encrypted so you can confidently use Salesforce Communities.


Healthcare Industry
Salesforce customers can enable CipherCloud so that their patients can securely enrol in new services and communicate any updates or concerns they have with their local practice.

High-tech Industry
High-tech companies can manage and monitor data across the globe without fear of inadvertently breaking laws unique to each country.

CipherCloud gives companies both user-level visibility and external protection around their sensitive data. And this has allowed some of the world’s largest companies to adopt Salesforce knowing with confidence that their customer information is secure.
