What is the Einstein Trust Layer in simple terms?

Real World Scenario

Security team asks how customer data is protected when prompts go to an LLM. You give a plain-language overview.

Expected Answer

• The Trust Layer is Salesforce's framework for securing AI requests and responses • It helps mask or exclude sensitive fields before data reaches the model • Responses can be scanned for toxic or policy-violating content • Audit trails support compliance reviews of AI interactions • It works within Salesforce's existing org security and sharing model

Follow-Up Questions & Answers

No. FLS, sharing rules, and CRUD still apply. The Trust Layer adds AI-specific protections like masking and toxicity detection on top of standard Salesforce security.

Architect Perspective

You do not need to recite every Trust Layer feature—connect it to "data masking + policy + audit" for credibility.
