We go deeper into application logs and secure administrative access to ensure complete governance and compliance.

The GAT LABS DIFFERENCE
Forensic Auditing and Secure Access Control
that go far beyond standard Google Workspace management consoles.
Audit Depth That Exposes Hidden Risk
While gPanel focuses on administrative coverage for core apps, GAT+ operates at forensic depth.
It audits full content history, reveals hidden exposure in apps like Meet, Classroom, and Looker Studio, and traces data movement across the entire domain for a complete security picture.
Security Officer Controlled Access (GAT Unlock)
GAT Unlock introduces a zero-compromise governance model.
Sensitive content access requires mandatory, multi-person approval and generates a full audit trail, keeping investigations compliant and privacy-protected. This capability does not exist in gPanel.
Closing the Endpoint Gap with GAT Shield
GAT Shield extends visibility to the browser, monitoring user activity, uploads, and searches in real time.
This client-side control delivers endpoint DLP coverage and behavioural insight that console-only tools cannot achieve.
