Hardware Key Certificate Management for client-side encryption in Gmail

What’s changing 

Gmail now allows users with hardware keys, such as PIV/CAC smartcards, to directly manage their digital signature and encryption certificates within Gmail settings. Prior to this update, admins needed to upload encryption keys for their users – now users can configure their own keys in Gmail, without needing an admin. 

Gmail > Settings > Accounts > Encryption certificates

Additional details 

While Workspace encrypts data at rest and in transit by using secure-by-design cryptographic libraries, client-side encryption ensures that you have sole control over encryption keys and access to your data. Client-side encryption ensures sensitive data in the email body and attachments are indecipherable to Google servers — you retain control over encryption keys and the identity service to access those keys. For more information, check out our original announcement and the Workspace blog. 

Getting started 

  • Admins: In order for your users to add certificates from a hardware key, you must first enable and install the Workspace Hardware Keys application to user machines. 
  • End users: Visit the Help Center to learn more about using hardware keys for encryption.

FINRA Compliance for Google Workspace: Google Drive and Calendar Updates

What’s changing 

Today, we announced Google Workspace support for FINRA compliance, continuing our commitment to meet the unique needs of heavily regulated industry. This includes the preservation of records in a non-rewritable, non-erasable (WORM) format, including support for SEC Rule 17a-4, SEC Rule 18a-6, and CFTC §1.31. 

We’re pleased to announce FINRA-compliant solutions for Google Drive and Calendar (complementing our existing FINRA-compliant features for Gmail, Chat, and Meet) that address the critical supervisory, documentation, and surveillance requirements that underpin financial regulations: 

For Google Drive, super admins can now use Google Workspace’s Data Export tool and AODocs to create a FINRA-compliant archive of their Google Drive data in a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket. This data can be from specific organizational units (OUs), groups, or users, and filtered by Drive labels.

When you’re using the Data Export tool, select “FINRA” as your export type

For Calendar, super admins and admins with third-party archiving privileges can enable third-party archiving on an OU or group level and specify the email address to which Calendar archives should be sent. The following events will be captured: 
  • On the monitored user’s calendar: all events and their updates, including events modified by another user with the appropriate access to the monitored user's calendar 
  • On other calendars that the monitored user can make changes to: all actions performed by the monitored user 
When these actions are performed, an email is sent to the journaling address specified by the admin with the event data, user who performed the action, and time stamp. providing access via SMTP for a third-party service provider to archive and produce the records on demand.
Third-party archiving can be enabled in the Admin console by going to Apps > Google Workspace > Settings for Calendar > Third-party Archiving Settings

Who’s impacted 

Admins 

Why it’s important 

These updates are critical for Google Workspace customers operating in the financial services industry on a global scale. For Calendar, archival journaling functionality supports compliance news by ensuring electronic communications are captured and preserved, meeting essential record-keeping standards. For Drive, admins can manage and securely store critical documents at scale. These solutions add to our existing FINRA-compliant features for Gmail, Chat, and Meet (when certain settings are enabled and disabled), providing global communication solutions and cutting edge productivity tools that meet the regulatory needs of customers in the financial services sector. 

Additionally, we are proud to announce partnerships with several industry-leading Digital Communications Governance and Archiving (DCGA) vendors: AODocs, Mimecast, Smarsh, and Global Relay. These partners provide vital connectors for our customers, ensuring the compliant flow of Google Workspace data into their trusted archiving solutions. For more information on these partnerships and FINRA compliance for Google Workspace, visit the Workspace blog.

View the most relevant search results in Gmail
Over the years, we’ve implemented updates to help you find exactly what you’re looking for with less effort when searching in Gmail. In March, we announced a smarter search feature powered by AI to quickly show users the most relevant results, and today we’re excited to extend this to businesses. Now, instead of just showing emails in chronological order based on keywords, Gmail search results will factor in elements like recency, most-clicked emails and frequent contacts.

    Introducing more granular controls for multi-party approvals for sensitive admin actions

    What’s changing 

    Last year, we introduced multi-party approval (MPA), a security feature that requires an admin to approve certain sensitive actions initiated by another admin. Today, we’re enhancing this feature by giving admins more granular controls, specifically: 
    • Admins can now select which specific settings require multi-party approval. 
    • Admins can choose separate multi-party approval settings for actions that are supported via API and the admin console, such as single-sign on with a third-party identity provider. 
    • Super admins can now delegate specific admins to approve MPA actions using the new multi-party approval role for admins.
    You can configure multi-party approval on a per action basis by going to Security > Authentication > Multi-party approved settings in the Admin console


    Account > Admin Roles 

    Who’s impacted 

    Admins 

    Why it’s important 

    Multi-party approval adds an extra layer of security for sensitive actions taken in the admin console by ensuring sensitive actions are not implemented in a silo and, more importantly, helps prevent unauthorized or accidental changes from being made. 

    We understand each customer has their own unique definition of security and what constitutes a high-risk action. By introducing more granular controls, we’re giving our customers the authority to decide what features should be subject to multi-party approvals and who has the authority to review these actions, in a way that works best for them, rather than the experience being “all or nothing”. 

    Additional details 

    To further strengthen security around sensitive actions, admins now require both 'reviewer' and 'requester' privileges for a given action to conduct its MPA review. This ensures that the approving admin possesses the direct authority to perform the action themselves, reinforcing the integrity of the approval process and preventing approvals from individuals with inadequate underlying permissions.

    Getting started 

    • Admins: This feature is available for eligible Workspace customers with two or more super admin accounts. Multi-party approval is OFF by default and can be turned on in the Admin console by going to Security > Multi-party approval settings. Visit the Help Center to learn more about multi-party approval for sensitive actions and pre-built admin roles.
    • End users: There is no end user impact or action required.

    Adding granular control options for who can respond to existing Google Forms

    What’s changing

    Last year, we ​​introduced a feature that gives Google Forms creators more granular control over who can respond to their newly created forms via sharing settings. Specifically, form creators can limit response access to specific users, groups, or target audiences—similar to how file owners can restrict the sharing of Google Docs, Sheets, Slides or Sites in Drive. 

    In addition to being available on newly created forms, we’re excited to announce that starting today this option is now available on existing forms. As a result, form creators can upgrade existing or old forms to have more granular controls over who can respond to them. 
    Adding granular control options for who can respond to existing Google Forms

    Who’s impacted 

    End users

    Why you’d use it 

    This feature is useful in any scenario where you’d like to control who can respond to a form. For example, business leaders can better collect feedback from specific organizational units and prevent the form from being responded to by other teams or organization units. Similarly, teachers can use this to ensure a quiz is only accessible to select students who receive the link. 

    Getting started 

    • Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
    • End users: 
      • Form creators must publish their form to enable responders to view the form or submit a response. 
      • Form creators can see who has access to the form and share response access to specific users, groups, or target audiences. 
      • Visit the Help Center to learn more about upgrading your Google Form to have better access control.

    Mitigating prompt injection attacks with a layered defense strategy
    This week, we shared more details on how we protect Gemini and mitigate threats from malicious actors utilizing indirect prompt injection attacks to exfiltrate user data or execute other rogue actions. Google takes a layered security approach, with security measures designed for each stage of the prompt lifecycle. From Gemini 2.5 model hardening, to purpose-built machine learning (ML) models detecting malicious instructions, to system-level safeguards, we are meaningfully elevating the difficulty, expense, and complexity faced by an attacker. 

    Our model training with adversarial data significantly enhanced our defenses against indirect prompt injection attacks in Gemini 2.5 models. This inherent model resilience is augmented with additional defenses that we built directly into Gemini, including: 
    • Prompt injection content classifiers 
    • Security thought reinforcement 
    • Markdown sanitization and suspicious 
    • URL redaction User confirmation framework 
    • End-user security mitigation notifications 
    This layered approach to our security strategy strengthens the overall security framework for Gemini – throughout the prompt lifecycle and across diverse attack techniques. 

    You can read the full blog post, “Mitigating prompt injection attacks with a layered defense strategy,” on the Google Online Security Blog.| Rolling out now to Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. | Available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts. | Visit the Help Center to learn:
