Salesforce Certified Advanced Administrator — Question 113

AW Computing continues to grow and has concerns about the volume of sensitive data being stored in its org. The administrator suggests utilizing Salesforce Shield.

What should the team consider before implementing Salesforce Shield?

Answer options

• A. Paused flows can cause data to be saved in an unencrypted state.
• B. Einstein Lead Scoring is available on encrypted fields.
• C. Shield Platform Encryption can be used with custom metadata types.
• D. Encrypted fields are unable to be referenced in flows.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because paused flows can indeed lead to sensitive data being saved without encryption, which is a critical concern for data security. Option B is incorrect since Einstein Lead Scoring does not function on encrypted fields. Option C is wrong because Shield Platform Encryption cannot be used with custom metadata types. Option D is inaccurate as flows can reference encrypted fields under certain conditions.
