Contractors get full sandbox access with real SSNs, credit cards, and health records. There is no native Salesforce mechanism to selectively redact PII in a sandbox after refresh.
Sandbox refresh takes hours. Manual masking takes weeks. Developers are blocked. Eventually someone grants production access because the project cannot wait.
Sandbox data is still personal data under GDPR and CCPA. Regulators do not distinguish between production and sandbox. An unmasked sandbox is an uncontrolled copy of your customer database.
