Remediation Guide
You can manage violations on your data and the require remediation actions
Nightfall supports both manual and automated remediation on policy violations. However, you cannot view policy violations on the Nightfall dashboard or violations monitoring page.
NOTE: The Redact and delete action is not supported on "picklist" field types.
- Acknowledge: Low priority - acknowledge and ignore the violation.
- Redact: Sensitive Information is replaced with this message “[This content was redacted as it contained potential sensitive information.]”
- Delete Findings: If attachments, they are deleted. Sensitive information is replaced with this messages “[This content was deleted as it contained potential sensitive information.]”
For example, on the sample alert below, you can perform the remediation tasks mentioned under Take Action:
You can view policy violation alerts on the channel that you configured - Slack or Email. Within the channel, you can perform remediation action on the alert sent by Nightfall.

Acknowledge
Acknowledge and ignore the violation as it is not a high priority.
Redact
Sensitive token is replaced with this message in Salesforce:
“[This content was redacted as it contained potential sensitive information.]”
Delete
In case of attachments, Nightfall deletes the entire file. In case of sensitive tokens within text of a relevant field, the text is replaced with this message in Salesforce.
“[This content was deleted as it contained potential sensitive information.]”
You can automate remediation actions from Nightfall console.

Under Automated Actions, check the options you want.
- Delete
- Redact
