Is there a Purview connector being developed for SalesForce Data Cloud?

Question

It seems that the SalesForce connector for Purview currently only reaches the standard product. With the addition of Data Cloud, is there any effort to enable scanning Data Cloud entities?

Answer 1

@Harrison, Peter K - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

As of now, there is no Purview connector available for SalesForce Data Cloud.

Currently, when scanning Salesforce source, Microsoft Purview supports extracting technical metadata including:

• Organization
• Objects including the fields, foreign keys, and unique_constraints

When setting up scan, you can choose to scan an entire Salesforce organization, or scope the scan to a subset of objects matching the given name(s) or name pattern(s).

For more details, refer to Connect to and manage Salesforce in Microsoft Purview.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Answer 2

Based on the information provided in the context, there is no mention of a Purview connector being developed specifically for Salesforce Data Cloud. The article "Connect to and manage Salesforce in Microsoft Purview" only mentions the standard Salesforce product. However, Microsoft Purview is rich in extensibility scenarios and enables organizations to adapt, extend, integrate, accelerate, and support their compliance solutions using Data Connectors and APIs. It is possible that a custom connector could be developed for Salesforce Data Cloud, or that it could be added in the future.
