Several Google Workspace services such as Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Drive record the actions that Google personnel take when accessing customer content.
Access Transparency logs help ensure that Google personnel access customer content with a valid business justification. Access Transparency logs can also help security information and event management (SIEM) tools identify data exfiltration and exposure to external malicious actors targeting your Google Workspace resources. You can use the Google Cloud console to access the Access Transparency logs that Google Workspace services generate.
