GAT Labs vs CloudM:
Beyond Backup and Migration
Unlike CloudM, which focuses on data transfer and recovery, GAT Labs is purpose-built for Google Workspace. We give IT admins unmatched security, auditing, and investigative control over every live asset. From file-level visibility to real-time Chrome monitoring, we provide the forensic depth and continuous governance essential long after migration or backup.

The GAT Labs Difference:
Continuous Risk Management vs. Data Storage
Our platform is engineered for continuous oversight and live security, providing control over user actions and compliance risks that occur every day inside Google Workspace. This goes beyond the passive protection offered by backup or archive tools.
Security as an Ongoing Function
While CloudM focuses on backup, archive, and recovery of Google Workspace data, GAT Labs delivers real-time governance.
We audit user activity, file sharing, and third-party app risks as they happen, helping you prevent security incidents before they occur.
Forensic Auditing for Compliance
GAT Labs provides object-level visibility into critical Workspace assets, including Drive, Meet logs, and other non-archived apps.
This forensic audit trail supports compliance, legal discovery, and data governance. Capabilities that standard backup and migration tools do not address.
Live Administrative Authority
Through GAT Unlock, Google admins can securely take immediate, approved actions on live data, such as transferring file ownership or deleting phishing emails.
This operational control over active data simply cannot be achieved through archive or recovery tools.
