Have you already tapped into the full power of the GAT Labs Investigation Tool for Google Workspace?

Google’s Security Investigation Tool lets you search, investigate, and take basic action, but it stops short of offering the full visibility and control many organizations need. That’s where GAT Labs steps in.

Be proactive. Go beyond Google’s built-in tools and get deeper, domain-wide auditing, automated actions, and real-time alerts, all from a single dashboard.

Welcome to advanced Google Workspace auditing!

Everything You Need to Streamline Your Google Domain Management

View All Your Google Domain Data in One Place 🗄

Sometimes, locating a user or a specific file can be frustrating, especially if you’re managing thousands of them. The GAT Labs Investigation Tool gives you a centralised view of all domain activity, making it easier to audit, report, and take action with just a few clicks.

Activity Analytics

  • Google Domain Data Use

View all user files and folders in one place, filter by file type, owner, and sharing permissions.
This saves time during audits and helps you spot anomalies faster.

You can also take direct action on files:

✔️ Apply policies to selected files and folders

✔️ Add or remove permissions (even in bulk)

✔️ Assign tags or flags


  • Google Drive File Sharing Collaboration

Internal sharing can quickly get out of hand. With GAT Labs, you get a clear breakdown of how files are being shared, including visibility into file share counts and the groups or users involved.

Audit internal collaboration with confidence.


  • Files and Folders Access Permission Management

GAT+ makes it easy to locate externally shared files and remove access with one click.
Need to revoke access based on a specific date or workflow? Use GAT Flow to schedule it ahead of time, ideal for offboarding or project deadlines.


  • Google Data Privacy Compliance

Need to meet GDPR or internal compliance policies?
Use GAT Labs to audit and act on sensitive content in real time, across Drive, Gmail, and more.

Audit Guide

  • Monitor User Activity in Real-time 🧑🏼‍💻

Whether your teams are remote, hybrid, or fully in-office, distractions and risks are always present. With GAT Labs tools, you can keep a real-time view of what’s happening across your domain, without micromanaging.


  • Chat Audit

GAT Shield tracks Google Chat activity, including conversation duration and participants, without capturing private message content.
GAT+ also allows you to manage group chat visibility settings across multiple users.


  • Downloaded Files

Auditing your users’ downloaded files using the Google Workspace domain would not only let you monitor better their activity but also secure their devices and the entire organization. Enhance the security of Chrome browser and your domain data by reporting and removing (if necessary) files downloaded by your users. Manage domain-wide downloads in Google Workspace with this user-friendly dashboard provided by GAT Labs Investigation Tool:


  • Installed Extensions 

With GAT Shield, you get full extension audit reports for Chromebooks and ChromeOS devices.
See who installed what, which permissions each extension requests, and whether it’s active or disabled, all filterable for quick reviews.


  • Content Searches

Use GAT Shield’s Site Access Control to:

  • ✔️ Block access to risky or inappropriate websites
  • ✔️ Set up automated alerts for violations (e.g. flagged keywords in Gmail, Chat, Docs, or browsing)

This keeps your digital workspace aligned with acceptable use policies.


  • Automate & Secure Your Google Domain 🔒

Google Workspace offers visibility, GAT Labs adds automated control.
From pre-set workflows to live behavioural alerts, you can take fast, consistent action at scale without lifting a finger.


  • Automated Workflows & Alert Rules

Use GAT Flow and GAT Shield to create workflows based on time or triggered events.
Examples:

  • ✔️ Automatically revoke access for suspended users
  • ✔️ Trigger alerts when specific actions or behaviours occur
  • ✔️ Apply bulk actions to hundreds of users or files instantly

GAT Labs goes further than Google’s built-in reporting rules, giving you live behavioural monitoring and remediation.


  • Suspicious Activity

Detect threats early with proactive alerts.
GAT Labs Investigation Tool helps you:

No need to wait for a user to report a suspicious message, catch threats at the source.


  • Data Loss Protection Reporting

Last but not least, don’t forget DLP reports. They give you so many opportunities: from user activity monitoring, through detecting data security breaches, to quick incident response. Real-time DLP reports, generated with the GAT Investigation Tool,  will help you, Google admin, to analyze user activity and productivity, as well as the security of your domain. In addition, you can, of course, create DLP alerts to stay up-to-date and take quick action when needed.


You have more time during quieter months to audit your Google Workspace domain. Use this time to explore new ways to reduce risk, improve visibility, and automate security workflows.
