What does this Google Workspace DSAR solution page answer?

It explains how Google Admins can handle Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) in Google Workspace quickly, securely, and in compliance with GDPR/CCPA. It outlines the limitations of Google Vault for DSARs and shows how GAT Labs tools (GAT Flow, GAT+, GAT Shield) automate searches, legal holds, exports, delivery, and audit trails.

What problems do Google Admins face with DSARs?

Data is scattered across Gmail, Drive, Chat and Calendar; there are strict deadlines (30 days under GDPR); manual Vault workflows are slow and error-prone; and missed items increase compliance and reputational risk.

How does GAT Labs automate DSARs in Google Workspace?

GAT Flow automates legal holds and precise Vault exports and uploads results to a secure Shared Drive. GAT+ provides file-level auditing, content-based search, permissions control and bulk export with full audit logs. GAT Shield monitors sensitive activity and triggers alerts, and Security Officer delegation adds approvals for sensitive actions.

Why choose this DSAR solution?

It delivers complete, defensible DSAR responses in minutes, not days; reduces manual effort; strengthens compliance (e.g., GDPR, SOC 2); and centralises workflows on a single platform purpose-built for Google Workspace Admins.
