Question 19/35

An architect from a previous project implemented Platform Shield Encryption for a company. However, based on a recent audit, the company's Privacy Team identified three additional fields in their Account Records (Billing Street, Billing City and Phone) that needs to be secure and protected.
How should an architect proceed with this new policy change?

**Correct Answer: B. Use Encryption Policy and wait for an email from Salesforce indicating the field values are encrypted.**

### Explanation

Because the company is already using **Salesforce Shield Platform Encryption**, adding encryption to new fields is straightforward:

1. Go to **Encryption Policy** in Setup.
2. Enable encryption for the newly identified fields (Billing Street, Billing City, Phone).
3. Salesforce will begin an **asynchronous background encryption process** for existing records.
4. Once the encryption job completes, Salesforce sends an **email notification** confirming it.

### Why the other options are incorrect

| Option | Reason |
| -------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **A. Contact Salesforce to update the existing records** | ❌ Not needed. Platform Encryption updates existing records automatically once enabled—no Salesforce support required. |
| **C. Use Classic Encryption** | ❌ Classic Encryption is limited, deprecated for most use cases, and *cannot* encrypt these standard fields. Since Shield Encryption is already implemented, switching to Classic is not appropriate. |

Thus, **Option B** is the correct and Salesforce-aligned approach....
