How to Find Your Trust & Compliance Documentation

To find the SPARC or NLI Documentation applicable to your Services, locate your Service and Infrastructure to find the SPARC and NLI for that Service. Some Services can run on Hyperforce, or alternative infrastructure. To confirm which Infrastructure your organization is running on, see Where is my Salesforce instance locatedOpens in a new window? and View instance information for your Salesforce OrganizationOpens in a new window.

Some Services run on multiple infrastructures and are subject to more than one set of SPARC or NLI documentation. The Scope or Covered Services section of each SPARC or NLI document sets forth those Services or features that are covered by additional documentation.

All Services share a common I&S documentOpens in a new window to make it easier to find all of the entities that host or process data for our Services.

To find the PTD Documentation applicable to your Service, locate your Service in the PTDOpens in a new window.
