Agentforce Gains Second-Level EU Cloud Code of Conduct Compliance: A Boost for GDPR-Driven Cloud Trust

Salesforce recently announced that Agentforce—the agentic layer of its platform—has earned Second-Level Compliance recognition from the EU Cloud Code of Conduct (EU Cloud CoC). This milestone highlights a growing commitment to trust, transparency, and responsible data handling in cloud environments, especially as organizations navigate the obligations of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The EU Cloud Code of Conduct was established in 2017 with Salesforce as a founding member. It provides a framework through which cloud providers can demonstrate their alignment with EU data protection expectations, offering customers an auditable path to confidence in cross-border data transfers and privacy controls.

What is Agentforce?

Agentforce is the agent-centric layer of Salesforce's platform designed to empower customer service workflows with intelligent routing, real-time assistance, and policy-driven decisioning. By layering AI capabilities atop trusted data governance, Agentforce helps agents resolve inquiries faster while upholding privacy and security standards.
