We have gotten requests from several departments asking to turn on Gmail confidential mode for our Google domain. There seems to be no concerns in regards to retention and visibility into the messages for emails sent from the Google domain. As per Google support on how Vault handles these confidential emails: "If your organization enables Gmail confidential mode, Vault can hold, retain, search, and export all confidential mode messages sent by users in your organization." However, I would like to know if there may be any other info sec issues resulting from the use of confidential emails that may affect the decision on whether or not to make this capability available to the users on our domain. -- Jared Evans Information Security Officer Gallaudet Technology Services Gallaudet University jared.evans () gallaudet edu ********** Replies to EDUCAUSE Community Group emails are sent to the entire community list.
