Hi @* Salesforce Administrators * ,

I am currently working on implementation of Shield Encryption and got stuck on the following. As you all know, the standard Address field (on different objects) is a compound field that consists of a set of fields (Street, City, Postal Code, Country, etc.). Encryption can only be activated on some of these fields and Postal Code can't be encrypted. In Ireland Postal code is a unique identifier for each address and therefore not encrypting this element of the address means encryption of the rest is pointless. From compliance and IS point of view the encryption of address is one of the highest priorities.

Any ideas for a workaround?

Just to complicate things, we are hoping to introduce a geo-location/address validation apps that would help to improve quality of address data - therefore setting up a custom field to store this data may prevent us from getting the full benefit of such apps.

Thanks

Kris
