Configure Passive Email DLP for Gmail

Skyhigh CASB's email passive mode Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution is designed to scan email as it is sent by a user. When a Gmail user sends an email, G Suite sends a copy of the email to Skyhigh CASB for analysis. You must configure Gmail to use Skyhigh CASB passive email DLP.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have:

  • A G Suite Enterprise account. (G Suite for Business will not work.)
  • An admin account to the G Suite tenant.
  • An Skyhigh CASB tenant

Configure Passive Email DLP for Gmail 

Perform the following steps in both the Google Suite administrator console and Skyhigh CASB.

To configure Gmail: 

  1. Log in to Skyhigh CASB. 
  2. Go to Settings > Service Management and click Add Service Instance.
  3. Select Gmail, enter a name for this new instance, and click Done.
  4. Select Configure for the new instance. 
  5. Domains. Enter the public domains that Skyhigh CASB DLP will accept for Email DLP. 

NOTE: This list of domains is shared with other Email DLP services (for example, Exchange).
