In a strategic partnership with Google, we offer client-side encryption for your data in Google Workspace apps such as Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, and Meet.
Client-side encryption means that files and data are encrypted on the user’s machine with encryption keys before uploading them to the Google Workspace servers. Therefore, even Google can’t decipher the content of the data that you store in Google Workspace. Users may interact with sensitive data (even for highly sensitive data) as usual when using Google Workspace. Encryption and key management happen transparently to the user, allowing you to protect your data without burdening your staff.
With our Workspace Key Manager, your company has direct and full control over encryption keys used to encrypt your data, even when it’s hosted on Google Workspace. You’re free to choose where encryption keys are stored. We can run the app for you as a cloud SAAS or you can run it on-prem in a public cloud VPS.
If you have any questions about this product, such as how the billing works, or would just like to reach out, feel free to drop us a message at human@flowcrypt.com.
Which Workspace editions include client-side encryption
Unfortunately, this option isn’t available in all Google Workspace editions. As of December 2023, client-side encryption is available in the Education Standard, Education Plus, Enterprise Plus, and Enterprise Essentials Plus (Drive and Meet) editions.
This information is available on the official Google Workspace Admin Help center.
