| Join Google Meet calls from third-party video conferencing systems more easily Posted: 01 Mar 2021 01:36 PM PST What's changingWe're making it easier to join Google Meet calls from third-party video conferencing systems. Specifically,
 Who's impactedAdmins and end users Why it's importantMeet supports SIP URI—a common way to let video conferencing systems know how to join calls—but to date, many customers have found it difficult to use. With this launch, we're giving admins the option to automatically add SIP join information to new third-party calendar events—thus making it easier for third-party hardware solutions to find and join Meet calls. If the hardware you use doesn't have a calendar integration, we'll automatically add SIP join information to new Calendar events. This should make it easier for users to join Meet calls on third-party video conferencing hardware. Getting started

| New Assured Controls help support your information governance goals Posted: 01 Mar 2021 12:59 PM PST What's changingToday we're introducing Assured Controls for Google Workspace Enterprise Plus, an add-on that helps customers control cloud service provider access and attain their information governance goals. As part of the Assured Controls feature set, we'll first roll out Access Management. Access Management enables customers to geographically limit Google staff support actions to U.S. Persons within our Support teams. At launch, Access Management will be limited to accesses that are covered by Access Transparency in Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Sheets, and Google Slides, and will only be supported in the U.S. region. To learn more, contact Google Support or your account representative. Note that we do not access customer data for any reason other than those necessary to provide support services and fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. When Support access is warranted, Access Management helps customers geographically limit that access. For more information on this and other Google Workspace Security launches, see our Cloud Blog post and register for our upcoming Google Cloud Security Talk. Who's impactedAdmins only Why you'd use itSome customers in regulated industries, particularly the public sector, have specific requirements related to cloud service provider access to data in the course of customer support interactions. Access Management provides customers with the ability to geographically limit those Google staff support actions. As Assured Controls is available on Google Workspace's native platform, you don't need to move to a separate environment for access to these restriction capabilities. This can help reduce costs and complexity, while allowing your organization to benefit from the full set of advanced features that Google Workspace offers. Getting started

| Expanding data regions coverage to Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides user indices Posted: 01 Mar 2021 08:07 AM PST What's changingData regions for Google Workspace allows customers to choose a specific geographic location—in the U.S., in Europe, or globally distributed—for their covered data at rest to help meet organizational or compliance needs. We're now extending data regions coverage to user indices for Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides for the U.S. data region. For more information on this and other Google Workspace Security launches, see our Cloud Blog post and register for our upcoming Google Cloud Security Talk. Who's impactedAdmins Why you'd use itGoogle Workspace's globally distributed cloud infrastructure reduces latency and protects data with geo redundancy, so most organizations choose not to geo-restrict their data. If, however, your organization has preferences as to where its data is stored at rest, data regions can help you achieve your compliance goals. Since launching data region controls in 2018, we've continued to make improvements, including the addition of new covered apps and data types in 2019 and expanded coverage and group-based admin controls in 2020. By expanding data regions coverage to Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides user indices, we hope to better support our customers' data location preferences and give them great control.
