One platform to automate admin tasks and protect Google Workspace data

Automate & Protect helps IT teams reduce manual admin, secure user offboarding, back up business data and manage Google Workspace governance from one control plane.

The Challenge

Google Workspace admin is often spread across manual processes, scripts and disconnected tools. This creates extra work for IT teams, increases the risk of missed steps and makes it harder to protect data consistently.

The Solution

Automate & Protect gives IT teams one platform to manage repeatable admin tasks, protect user data and apply consistent policies across Google Workspace.

Google Workspace automation built for Day 2 operations

Moving to Google Workspace is Day Zero. Provisioning accounts is Day One. Day Two is everything that follows, and where most Workspace environments fail.
Automate & Protect is designed specifically for ongoing governance, offboarding, data protection and recovery.

One lifecycle engine. Four operational states.

CloudM governs Google Workspace by automating control across the entire user lifecycle.

The chart illustrates a process from onboarding to governance, offboarding, and data integrity, emphasizing automation and security.

Zero-touch Google Workspace lifecycle automation

Automate & Protect controls the user lifecycle end-to-end:

  • Accounts are provisioned automatically from identity sources, ensuring users are created, licensed, and configured correctly the moment they join
  • Groups, access, and licenses are applied consistently, with policies driven by organizational data instead of manual admin decisions
  • No scripts to maintain and no manual steps to miss, removing human error from offboarding
  • Leaver processing is reduced from days to minutes, with access removed immediately and consistently

Data backup

Automate & Protect protects active Workspace data with built-in backup and recovery capabilities: 

  • Point-in-time restores for Gmail, Drive, Shared Drives, and Calendar, allowing admins to roll back individual items or entire accounts after incidents like ransomware or accidental deletion
  • Item-level recovery without overwriting current data, so emails, files, or folders can be restored to their original location without disrupting active work
  • Domain-wide backup and retention across Google Workspace, ensuring Gmail, Chat, Drive, Shared Drives, Contacts, and Calendar are protected consistently and governed centrally

Email signatures

Automate & Protect standardizes and governs email signatures across Google Workspace for controlled outbound communication:

  • Centralized signature enforcement across Gmail, ensuring every user has the correct branding, contact details, and disclaimers applied automatically
  • Cross-device consistency, so signatures render correctly on desktop, web, and mobile without relying on user-side configuration
  • Directory-driven updates, pulling user details from Google Workspace to keep titles, departments, and contact information accurate without manual edits

Archiving

Automate & Protect governs what happens to workspace data when users leave, ensuring compliance without unnecessary license costs:

  • Policy-driven, defensible retention across Gmail, Drive, Shared Drives, Contacts, and Calendar
  • Rapid search and retrieval of former user data, allowing admins to respond confidently to legal, HR, and internal requests without manual exports
  • Reduced active storage and license spend by moving dormant data out of the primary domain while maintaining controlled access

    I’m not in the platform all that often, but that’s by virtue of it working really well. I don’t need to be in there all the time. It’s one less thing to worry about on the long list of go-to-market tasks and deliverables.
