Google has rolled out a new Workspace admin feature that combines audience sharing controls and sensitivity-based data conditions into a single rule, making it simpler to guard against data leaving your business by accident or misuse.

• What it is: A unified rule in the Workspace admin console that lets administrators set sharing limits alongside sensitivity labels in one place, rather than managing them separately.
• Who is affected: Businesses on Google Workspace plans with access to data protection and DLP-style admin controls.
• What the risk is: Without this kind of control, sensitive files can be over-shared internally or externally without anyone noticing.
• What action is needed: No action is required immediately, but it is worth reviewing whether your current sharing settings still make sense now this option exists.

We can review your Workspace admin settings with you if you would like a second opinion on your current sharing controls.
