Enterprise security controls for Google Workspace with Gemini
 With its rapid adoption and growing importance, organizations are rightly concerned about potential data security and privacy risks when deploying generative AI. Google Workspace with Gemini is enterprise-ready. First, Gemini keeps customer data confidential and can support compliance with different regulatory frameworks, such as HIPAA and FedRAMP High. Second, Gemini is built with a layered defense strategy for prompt injection mitigation, an emerging attack vector against AI systems. And third, Workspace comes with granular user access and data security controls, helping administrators safely and securely deploy AI tools, such as the Gemini app, Gemini in Workspace apps, and NotebookLM, across their organizations with confidence.

View the most relevant search results in Gmail
Over the years, we’ve implemented updates to help you find exactly what you’re looking for with less effort when searching in Gmail. In March, we announced a smarter search feature powered by AI to quickly show users the most relevant results, and today we’re excited to extend this to businesses. Now, instead of just showing emails in chronological order based on keywords, Gmail search results will factor in elements like recency, most-clicked emails and frequent contacts.

You can also select between “most relevant” and “most recent” results. | Rollout to Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains is complete. | Available to Google Workspace customers, Google Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts. | Visit the Help Center to learn more about the search in Gmail.

    What's changing

    There are upcoming changes to permissions in Google Groups which will be implemented starting September 15, 2025.

    Currently, Google Groups has three roles: owner, manager, and member. Associated permissions for these roles, like Who can manage members and Who can view members can be configured in a group's settings. Additional group members can be assigned these permissions using custom roles. For example a group could have “who can manage members” set to “group owners” but then configure a custom role, add members to it, and add the custom role to “who can manage members.” 

    To reduce complexity and increase consistency across Workspace products, the following will no longer be supported in Groups:
    • Custom roles for Who can manage members and Who can view members
    • The ability to allow the Entire organization to manage members

    The timeline for this change is as follows:
    Starting September 15, 2025, users will no longer be able to:
    • Add new custom roles for Who can manage members and Who can view members
    • Set Who can manage members to Entire organization

    Starting January 5, 2026:
    • If a group has custom roles configured for Who can manage members and Who can view members, those custom roles will no longer apply
    • If a group has Who can manage members set to Entire organization, that setting will be updated to all members

    Admins or end users can reassign users in custom roles in impacted groups to the default role that best matches their activity within the group. For example, if a group has Who can manage members set to owners and also has a custom role with three members in it, consider these options: 

    • Recommended: Expand the setting for Who can manage members to owners and managers and add those three users as managers 
    • Change the role of those three members to owners
    • Expand the capability to manage members to all group members

    We also recommend setting Who can view members to Entire Organization to make collaboration seamless across Workspace, though if the group requires additional privacy, choose Group members.

      What’s changing

      We are expanding support for the Gemini app for Google Workspace for Education users of all ages:

      The Gemini app is covered under the Google Workspace for Education Terms of Service for all Workspace for Education users. Those terms include enterprise-grade data protections, so your data is not reviewed by anyone or otherwise used to train AI models. Gemini also supports compliance with many industry regulations like FERPA, COPPA, FedRamp, and HIPAA.

      Who’s impacted

      Admins and end users

      Why it’s important

      AI can be a valuable tool for learning and creativity, which is why we are making Gemini available to all Google Workspace for Education users. Gemini incorporates LearnLM, our family of models fine-tuned for learning and built with experts in education, making it the world’s leading model for learning. 

      All of your Google Workspace for Education users will be able to use to the Gemini app (gemini.google.com and the mobile app) to do things like: 

      • Ask questions and receive in-the-moment support 
      • Create lesson plans and extra study materials
      • Get feedback on their work  and check their understanding
      • Practice using technology that will prepare them for an AI-driven future 
      • Brainstorm new ideas

      A distinct experience for younger learners (students under 18): 

      • Stricter content policies that prevent potentially inappropriate or harmful responses. For more information, check out The Keyword, Gemini safety center, and policy guidelines for the Gemini app.
      • A youth onboarding experience with AI literacy resources – endorsed by ConnectSafely and Family Online Safety Institute, to help younger students use AI responsibly
      • The first time a user asks a fact-based question a double-check response feature runs automatically powered by Google Search.  In subsequent searches, a user can validate an answer by clicking Double-check response.

      Additional details

      The Google Workspace Service Specific Terms, which include terms relevant to the Gemini app, have been updated to reflect the change regarding age restrictions. Google will process your users’ data as described in the Generative AI Workspace privacy hub.
