Manage your compliance and data controls from a single source in the Admin console

What’s changing 

We know that compliance and data controls are paramount for our customers, both in understanding Google Workspace’s policies and configuring compliance-relevant features according to the needs of their business sector and geographical region. To help our customers navigate these complexities, we’ve centralized some of these relevant features and information into a single location in the admin console: Data.


Within this section, admins can:
  • Find a centralized hub containing all data and compliance-related features such as data regions, access transparency, and more.
    • Access Approvals, Access Management, Access Transparency, Client Side Encryption, Data Regions can now be found under Data > Compliance. Please note that Access Transparency can still be found under Menu > Reporting.

  • Data Export, Data migration, and Google Takeout can now be found under Data > Data import & export.

  • Find a dedicated compliance node containing guides and resources to help them configure their settings within various regulations and standards such as IL4, CJIS, and FedRAMP High.
