MS Dynamics 365 out of box & custom fields data encryption

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 594

Hello, I have a couple of questions regarding data encryption.

1. Is it enabled by default for all D365 instances?

2. Can we enable data encryption for out of box fields & custom fields? If yes, will the data be stored in encrypted format in Online CRM database? 

3. Also how to make a system field data encrypted? i.e In which place in dynamics CRM should i active the data encryption feature for my system fields?

Thanks in advance

    Microsoft Dynamics CRM uses standard SQL Server cell level encryption for a set of default entity attributes that contain sensitive information, such as user names and email passwords. This feature can help organizations meet FIPS 140-2 compliance.

    You can generate your own encryption keys for your Organisation. Please find the below link for more info and how to create encryption keys.
