Google Vault

Google Vault is a core information governance and eDiscovery tool for organizations using Google Workspace. With Google Vault, you can retain, search, and export users' Google Workspace data (such as Gmail, Drive, Groups, and Meet) to support litigation, regulatory compliance, and internal investigations.

Vault provides administrators and legal teams with powerful controls to manage the lifecycle of business communications. You can place data on legal hold, create matters to group eDiscovery activities, search message and file content across your organization, and export relevant data for review.

Key features of Google Vault include:

• Search & Export: Search across Gmail, Drive, Groups, and Meet for relevant data and export the results for analysis.
• Matters & Holds: Create matters (cases) and apply legal holds to retain user data beyond standard retention policies.
• Retention Rules: Define retention rules to keep or delete data after a set period to meet business and compliance needs.
• Audit & Review: Monitor Vault activity and enforce compliance with organization-wide policies.

In Zoen, the Google Vault integration lets your AI agents programmatically manage Vault matters, exports, and holds. This enables automated workflows for legal discovery, compliance archiving, and data retention management in your organization. Agents can initiate new exports, list available holds, manage legal matters, and retrieve exported files directly through your automated processes, ensuring your compliance and information governance needs are met efficiently and securely.
