Business Associate Agreement
Confirmed
Salesforce publishes a BAA option. Confirm the exact plan and service are covered before sending PHI.
Enterprise route
Salesforce Shield add-on (Platform Encryption, Event Monitoring) on a HIPAA-eligible edition, paired with the Einstein Trust Layer
For regulated use, validate the BAA, configured service and users under the Salesforce Shield add-on (Platform Encryption, Event Monitoring) on a HIPAA-eligible edition, paired with the Einstein Trust Layer contract.
Default data training
No by default
The Einstein Trust Layer enforces zero data retention with LLM providers: prompts and responses are not persisted by the model provider or used to train the models.
Business-tier training
No by default

Practical risk: One of the strongest CRM-AI postures: the Einstein Trust Layer enforces zero data retention with LLM providers, and Salesforce publishes AI-scoped SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reports naming Agentforce and Einstein plus a HIPAA BAA and EU residency via Hyperforce. Some Einstein features are not available in the EU Operating Zone.
