Mimecast Launches Data Governance for Google Workspace Offering: Every Connector, One Per-User Price
Archive and govern all of your Google Workspace data without consumption or storage charges
By Matt Pasternack
Key Points
Financial services firms operate under some of the strictest recordkeeping and supervision requirements of any industry, and the cost of falling short is real. In 2025, FINRA levied $75 million in fines, with recordkeeping missteps ranking among its top five enforcement issues by total fines, as regulators continue to scrutinize how firms capture, retain, and produce communications data.
Google Workspace provides robust archiving capabilities, giving financial institutions a supported path to adopt Gemini in Google Workspace while meeting FINRA and other recordkeeping requirements. With this launch, Mimecast helps Google Workspace customers with FINRA compliance as one of Google's archiving partners. Mimecast Data Governance for Google Workspace is available to customers now.
As regulations multiply and data spreads across email, collaboration platforms, and now AI tools, most organizations are struggling to keep up. According to Mimecast's State of Human Risk 2026 report, 91% of organizations face governance challenges, and 59% lack confidence they can quickly locate and retrieve communications data when regulators demand it. Responsibility for governance is often split across IT, legal, compliance, and security teams, with no single owner accountable for the full picture. The data is as fragmented as the responsibility for governing it.
Governance isn't one team's job, and the data doesn't sit in one place
Legal, compliance, HR, IT, and security all need answers from the same expanding set of data. Email, chat, files, meetings, and now AI-generated content each risk becoming their own silo, with their own console, retention rules, and blind spots. With many archiving vendors, every new data source is also a new integration to manage and a new line item in the budget. Mimecast Data Governance brings all of it under one platform. For Google Workspace customers, that means one place to govern, search, and act on Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Drive, and Meet data, under one license.
