Abstract
Generative AI has the potential to revolutionize the enterprise workflows to great extent but it poses privacy, security, and data governance challenges. Companies who want to utilize advanced AI models like Large Language Models, are only allowed to do so under the guidelines of security and regulatory frameworks. Salesforce Einstein Trust Layer proposes a solution to these challenges by not only setting up a trusted layer for deploying Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models but also ensures that the data privacy standards are met while delivering the AI generated responses. This paper discusses how the Einstein Trust Layer facilitates the safe practical application of RAG in enterprise systems, including its general architecture, functionality, and the precise processes that demonstrate why the Einstein Trust Layer is a reliable means of incorporating LLMs into commercial processes.

Conclusion
With the Salesforce Einstein Trust Layer the enterprises get a compliant and secure environment in which to implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation models. Subsequently, the Trust Layer deals with the data privacy, security, and data governance issues emerging from the application of deep learning AI’s; hence a business can implement generative AI securely. As it is apparent that AI is ever integrating into enterprise processes, the Einstein Trust Layer will help in making sure AI models are implemented in the correct manner at various organizational settings. The advanced features of Einstein Trust Layer like audit trail, security governance, data masking and retrieval builds up the confidence of the enterprises in Gen AI adoption.
