Secure Cloud Access can integrate with Google’s classification functionality, which provides additional options for securing your data. If you have enabled labels in your Google Suite account, Secure Cloud Access can provide control over your users’ use of labels.

You can create policies within Secure Cloud Access to:

• Automatically apply labels to files in Google Suite, and apply specified values to the fields within a label

• Detect labels and label field values that users have added to files, and take appropriate actions on those files

  To begin, enable the labels feature on your Google account, create some labels, and enable Secure Cloud Access to read the labels and their associated from your Google account. You can then create policies within Secure Cloud Access to read and write the labels on your users’ Google Drive files.

  Keep in mind that:

• Secure Cloud Access cannot modify your labels’ names, field names/types, and other label-specific settings. You must do this from within your Google administration console.
• When you change or create a label, Secure Cloud Access receives this information almost immediately. In addition, Secure Cloud Access syncs labels twice a day to ensure that all label data is captured correctly.

• If you mark a label as inactive within Google Drive, that label remains in place on files that it had been applied to, and Secure Cloud Access can still read it. You can continue to use policies that detect an inactive label.

  The following sections describe how to set up and use Google classification labels.
