Protect the full scope of Workspace data

Coverage spans Gmail inboxes and data in Google Drive, including Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, and Scripts. This covers the content that keeps your organization moving and communicating on a daily basis.   

 

Recover quickly and flexibly 

When something goes wrong, speed matters, but so does precision. You can restore granularly or in bulk, to either original or alternate locations. CCS protects and restores metadata like labels and permissions, helping ensure recovered content returns with the access model and organizational context your teams rely on. 

Keeping backups current and simple 

Using seamless integration with Google Workspace APIs, CCS maintains a synthetic full backup and supports bulk backup of entire Workspace data stores. Practically speaking: IT doesn’t have to babysit complex jobs, and security teams do not need to worry that recent changes are unprotected or unrecoverable.    

Enterprise-grade security controls 

Backups are the last line of defense only when they are protected with the highest level of security. To ensure that backup data is always recoverable, CCS supports immutable storage, end-to-end encryption, multifactor authentication, and enhanced granular RBAC.
