Government agencies have spent the last decade building their operations on Salesforce Government Cloud for benefits enrollment, case management, grant processing, constituent services and more. The data driving these programs is mission-critical and stays within government-compliant boundaries, by design.
Protecting it should be no different.
Salesforce is designed for availability. But availability is not recovery. When ransomware strikes, when a bulk delete goes wrong, or when a developer accidentally corrupts a production record, agencies need the ability to restore exactly what was lost without rolling back an entire org and without waiting through a lengthy support process.
Today, Rubrik is extending the full power of its Salesforce data protection to Rubrik Security Cloud – Government (RSC-G), its FedRAMP Moderate and GovRAMP Moderate authorized platform purpose-built for federal, state, local, and education organizations. For the first time, federal agencies and SLED organizations can protect their Salesforce Government Cloud orgs with the same Zero Trust Data Security that Rubrik has delivered to government customers for over nine years.
Recovery That Matches How Agencies Operate
Federal agencies cannot afford the kind of recovery that forces a choice between "restore everything" and "restore nothing." Org-level rollbacks disrupt active programs. Manual record hunting is slow. And in government, both the mission and the audit trail depend on getting the right data back, fast.
RSC-G delivers granular backup and precision recovery for Salesforce Government Cloud orgs. Agencies can back up objects, records, and metadata on a defined schedule, and recover exactly what's needed—a specific record, a set of objects, or an entire org—without affecting what's still running. Recovery is scoped, fast, and fully auditable.
The data stays within RSC-G's secure, U.S.-based environment throughout. FIPS 140-2 end-to-end encryption, a logical air gap, and immutable-by-design storage ensure that backed-up Salesforce data meets the same security bar as every other workload RSC-G protects. No exceptions for SaaS.
Sandbox Seeding Without the Manual Risk
Development and testing pipelines need realistic data. Getting that data from Salesforce production into a developer or partial-copy sandbox has always meant manual CSV exports, broken parent-child relationships, sandbox size overflows, and hours of cleanup for every new environment spun up.
RSC-G automates the entire process. Agencies can seed Developer and Partial Copy sandboxes directly from production, with parent-child record relationships preserved and data volumes automatically optimized to stay within Salesforce sandbox size limits. No exports are needed. No manual filtering is required. No broken data models appear on the other side.
The result: Development teams get production-quality data faster and the operations burden that was previously absorbed by admins and DBA teams disappears entirely.
Compliance-Grade Data Masking, Built Once and Applied Everywhere
Before any production data reaches a non-production environment, it must be protected—GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS regulations all require it. For agencies handling constituent PII, financial records, health data, and benefits information, that requirement applies to every sandbox and every seeding job, every time.
Rubrik handles this automatically. Agencies build masking templates once to target the specific Salesforce objects and fields that carry sensitive data including PII, email addresses, phone numbers, financial fields. Those templates apply every time production data flows into a sandbox, or when fields need to be masked in place within an existing org, without triggering a full reseed.
One template is reused across every environment. Every developer sandbox is protected to the same compliance standard, with zero additional overhead for the teams building on top of it.
One FedRAMP-Authorized Platform for Your Entire Data Estate
Federal and SLED agencies are under constant pressure to secure more, with less. Tool sprawl creates audit risk. Siloed platforms create coverage gaps. And every additional vendor adds procurement burden, compliance review, and integration debt.
RSC-G consolidates that. Salesforce Government Cloud now joins VMware, Microsoft 365, AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, Active Directory, and dozens of other enterprise and cloud workloads on a single FedRAMP Moderate and GovRAMP Moderate authorized platform. This is the platform that holds CJIS attestation, HIPAA attestation and FERPA attestation. The platform has dedicated infrastructure for the government, with data processed exclusively on U.S. soil and 24/7 support every day of the year from qualified U.S. citizens.
Rubrik has been securing federal, state, local, and education organizations for more than nine years. RSC-G doesn't ask agencies to trust a new vendor with their most sensitive data. It allows them to extend a platform they already trust to cover one more critical application.
After all, protecting the public starts with protecting the data that serves them.
