Calendar DLP policies scan events for sensitive data

This release1 featureNew capabilitiesAI-tallied from the release notes

Data loss prevention (DLP) for Google Calendar is now generally available to protect sensitive information shared within event details. Previously available in beta, this feature allows you to create and apply data protection rules that scan calendar event titles, descriptions, and locations for sensitive content, such as credit card numbers or national identification numbers.

Key functionalities include:

  • Choice of actions: Admins can choose to audit when an event is saved with sensitive content, warn users about sensitive content in their event, or block event creation or updates if a DLP policy is violated.
  • Event details: DLP rules scan free-text fields in the event, including the event’s title, description, and location fields.
  • Owner-based policies: Rules are applied based on the organizational unit (OU) of the owner (event organizer on primary calendars or calendar owner on secondary calendars), consistent with other Workspace DLP configurations.
  • User notifications: With DLP policies for Calendar, users receive immediate feedback when sensitive data is detected. On the web, users see a pop-up notification explaining the issue. Admins can also customize this message with more specific details. If a meeting update is blocked on Android, iOS, or via the Calendar API, the user will receive an automated email notification explaining the policy violation and why changes to the meeting invite were not successful.
Getting started
  • Admins: The feature will be OFF by default and can be enabled at the organizational unit (OU) or group level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about DLP for Calendar.
  • End users: There is no end user setting for this feature.

DLP rules now match file types, names, extensions; proximity conditions available

This release2 featuresNew capabilitiesAI-tallied from the release notes

Data loss prevention (DLP) rules for non-Workspace file attachments and associated proximity conditions are now generally available. These new capabilities enable organizations to target files with specific parameters, such as blocking the sharing of sensitive file formats or identifying files that contain specific strings in their titles.

Using these new content conditions, admins can set up various DLP rules for added protection, such as:

  • File names: Block files containing text string “funkyword”
  • File extensions: Block .java files
  • File types: Block custom mime type such as application/custom_app
  • Proximity matching: Detect “routing number” in proximity of 100 characters of “account number”

Additional details

In addition to file-based conditions, administrators can utilize associated proximity conditions to identify sensitive information in the file. This feature allows for the detection of sensitive data that appears within a specified distance of other predefined data types, regular expressions, or word lists.

For example, a rule can be configured to trigger when a bank account number is found within 100 characters of a routing number. By identifying data in context, proximity matching helps administrators reduce false positives and more accurately secure financial information or proprietary content.

Key functionality in DLP rules for file attachments and associated proximity conditions include:

  • Ability to match against common or custom MIME types and system file categories
  • Support for scanning attachments in Gmail, Drive, and Chat to set rules across communication channels
  • Granular distance settings for proximity matching, allowing admins to define a range of up to 1,000 characters between matched conditions
Getting started
  • Admins: When configuring DLP rules in the admin console, admins can locate the new content conditions of file extension, file name, and file type under content conditions. Admins can also select the option of proximity matching to set a maximum distance between two pieces of matched texts. Visit the Help Center to learn more.
  • End users: There is no end user setting for this feature.

Data transfers to managed apps now allowed; personal accounts blocked

This release1 featureNew capabilitiesAI-tallied from the release notes

Previously, data transfers from corporate Google Workspace accounts to third-party apps were restricted. We’re now recalibrating these restrictions to allow for a "trusted ecosystem" between managed apps.

With this release, users are now able to maintain efficient workflows and securely move data between corporate Workspace accounts and other authorized, managed third-party applications without being blocked. For added data protection, this capability strictly prevents the transfer of that data to personal accounts within the same managed Google application or to unmanaged personal apps.

For example, a user is able to copy a client's email address from their corporate Gmail account and successfully paste it into a managed third-party CRM application. When they try to paste that same email address into their personal Gmail account, they are blocked and receive the following message: "This information can only be shared within your organization's Google Workspace apps.”
