Smarsh and Google Workspace: A New Era of Compliant Collaboration for Financial Services
Financial firms face a challenge: how to embrace modern tools without opening the door to compliance risk.
Smarsh is helping to solve that challenge by empowering firms to move faster, collaborate smarter, and remain audit-ready at every step with a new solution that integrates with Google Workspace.
Why it matters
Compliance teams must ensure modern collaboration tools like Google Workspace don’t create regulatory gaps. Smarsh enables financial firms to adopt Google and AI-driven workflows with built-in compliance for SEC, CFTC, and global regulations — no tradeoffs required.
With this release, Google Workspace now supports SEC Rule 17a-4, SEC Rule 18a-6, and CFTC §1.31, delivering core capabilities like WORM-compliant journaling, secure record retention, and audit readiness built into the tools many financial firms rely on every day.
Smarsh Capture: Seamless compliance for modern collaboration
Smarsh helps ensure firms can maintain full visibility and control while adopting these new Google Workspace capabilities. Our industry-leading Capture portfolio now supports the latest version of Google Workspace, giving customers access to:
- Full capture of rich, collaborative content across Gmail, Google Docs, Google Chat, Google Meet, and Google Drive
- Enhanced review and supervision workflows for comments, document edits, chat threads, and more
- Future-proofed compliance designed for today’s digital-first, fast-paced communication landscape
With Smarsh, financial institutions don’t have to choose between productivity and oversight — they can have both.
Looking ahead: AI governance starts with capture
As AI becomes embedded in workplace productivity tools, the need for detailed auditing capabilities will only intensify. The introduction of Gemini models in Google Workspace represents a powerful shift in how work gets done — and Smarsh is ready.
Our mission is to enable the compliant use of AI across financial services. Whether it’s Gemini in Google Workspace or other generative AI tools, Smarsh Capture is the trusted foundation for safe adoption.
