Google Workspace

Make Google’s own controls see your sensitive files.

Cognni discovers and classifies sensitive data across Gmail and Drive, then writes native Drive labels back to your files. Google's own DLP, Context-Aware Access and Vault retention act on them, with no manual tagging.

The Workspace question

Your Google DLP rules are on. What are they actually catching?

Google gives you strong controls. They act on labels and rules, and most Drive files have neither.

Known

Sharing settings

You know which domains and shared drives allow external sharing.

Partial

DLP rules

They catch what someone wrote a rule for.

Blind spot

What's in the files

Which Drive files and emails hold contracts, pricing or salaries.

The Workspace gap

Every Workspace security setup rests on four assumptions.

DLP rules cover sensitive content
They cover what someone wrote a rule for. Business documents slip through
Users apply Drive labels
Almost nobody labels files by hand
Context-Aware Access protects what matters
It can only protect what it knows is sensitive
Vault keeps the right content
Without labels, retention follows location, not what a file contains

What Cognni does in Workspace

Active remediation, not passive observability.

Discover across Gmail and Drive

Find sensitive information wherever it lives in Workspace, including shared drives.

Classify by meaning

400+ information types out of the box, mapped to HR, Legal, Financial, Personal, Governance and Business.

Write native Drive labels

Labels go back onto the files themselves, so protection travels with the data.

Trigger Google's own controls

Google DLP, Context-Aware Access and Vault retention act on Cognni's labels through the policies you already set.

One taxonomy with Microsoft 365

Run both suites? The same categories and label logic apply in Workspace and Microsoft 365.

Agentless and fast

API connection only. Nothing to install, no change for users, live in under 15 minutes.

Read-only visibility
  • Reports what's exposed
  • Your team fixes it by hand
  • Google's controls have nothing new to act on
Cognni active remediation
  • Classifies every file by meaning
  • Writes native labels automatically
  • DLP, access and retention policies enforce them

In your admin console

The difference is what Google's controls can act on.

Today, Google's controls act on

  • DLP rules someone has to write and tune
  • Labels users remember to apply
  • Sharing settings by domain or drive

With Cognni, they act on

  • A native Drive label on every classified file
  • One of six business categories per file
  • The same categories you use in Microsoft 365
  • Labels written automatically, with no manual tagging

Questions

Google Workspace questions, answered.

Do we need to install anything?

No. Cognni is agentless and connects through Google Workspace APIs. Most teams are live in under 15 minutes.

We run Microsoft 365 too. Does that work?

Yes. Cognni applies the same categories and labeling logic in both suites, with Purview labels in Microsoft 365 and Drive labels in Workspace.

Does Cognni store our content?

No. Cognni does not store the content of your files. It keeps classification results and activity metadata. See our privacy policy.
