Advanced Cloud Security for Google Workspace: Visibility Beyond the Native Console
GAT Labs provides a full-stack security suite for Google Workspace that fills the 85% gap left by native admin tools, offering real-time Chrome DLP, multi-party approval for sensitive data access, and automated user lifecycle management.
Why Native Google Workspace Security
Isn't Enough for Enterprise
While Google’s native Admin Console covers basic configuration, it often lacks the granular “post-delivery” visibility
required for SOC 2 and GDPR compliance.
The Visibility Gap:
Native logs often miss 85% of deep-layer interactions, such as granular file-sharing changes or specific browser-based “Shadow IT” actions.
The Single-Point-of-Failure Risk:
In a standard setup, a single compromised Super Admin can delete an entire domain. GAT Unlock eliminates this via Multi-Party Approval.
The Browser Blindspot:
Most data leaks happen in the browser, not the app. GAT Shield extends security to the “edge” of the cloud, the Chrome/Edge browser.
The GAT Security Stack: 360° Protection
Deep Auditing & Compliance
Go beyond basic reporting. GAT+ provides a centralized dashboard to track every email, file, and login event.
Key Feature: Identify files shared using “Anyone with the link” permissions across the entire domain.
Outcome: 100% visibility into data exposure and external sharing risks.
Real-Time Browser Security
Protection that follows the user. GAT Shield monitors activity within the browser to prevent data exfiltration in real-time.
Key Feature: Block risky downloads and close unauthorized browser tabs instantly.
Outcome: Zero-trust security for remote and hybrid teams.
Zero-Trust Access Control
The “Lock and Key” for your most sensitive data. Sensitive tasks require a second “Security Officer” to approve.
Key Feature: Multi-party approval for changing file ownership or accessing user emails.
Outcome: Prevention of insider threats and admin account takeovers.
Secure Workflow Automation
Eliminate manual errors in user management.
Key Feature: Automate onboarding and offboarding processes, including ownership transfers and account changes.
Outcome: Reduced operational risk during employee transitions.

Google Workspace Cloud Security FAQs
The most effective strategy is a “stacked” approach: combining Google’s native identity tools with a dedicated auditing and automation layer like GAT Labs. This ensures visibility into browser activity, multi-admin approval for sensitive tasks, and automated compliance reporting that native tools lack.
Yes. Using GAT Shield, admins can monitor and control browser-based interactions in real-time. This includes tracking file uploads to non-work sites, identifying “Shadow IT” extensions, and enforcing site-access policies even when users are off-network.
GAT Labs prevents insider threats through GAT Unlock, which requires a second authorized person (a Security Officer) to approve sensitive actions like bulk file downloads or changing folder permissions. This “Four-Eyes” principle ensures no single user can compromise the organization’s data.
Yes. GAT Labs is SOC 2 Type 2 and ADA CASA Tier-3 certified. Our tools are specifically designed to help organizations meet GDPR and HIPAA requirements by providing the granular audit trails and data access controls necessary for regulatory compliance.
