“Strac protects our customer support communication channels

To protect our clients as well as ourselves, we needed a secure way to protect our communication channels for security and compliance reasons. We used Strac's Email Redaction solution where Strac protects all our employee inboxes. The redaction experience is beautiful, easy, and secure. It catches all kinds of sensitive pdfs, jpegs, images, word docs, and even in email bodies. The integration was up and running in a few minutes. The service offered by Strac's team is the best I have seen as we work with a lot of SaaS providers.

We Highly Recommend Strac to all businesses who want to protect their SaaS apps.

“Strac secures our PII on customer support and on backend servers

On our Intercom customer support, anyone can send sensitive data to a business and a business is liable even if they did not ask for it. Strac solves that huge problem by automatically redacting sensitive data that is shared over Intercom with their accurate machine learning technology. We also leveraged Strac's Zero Data architecture via tokenization & proxy APIs so that we don't have to worry about touching sensitive data and documents on our backend servers. Strac dramatically reduces security and SOC compliance risks for us while significantly improving security posture for Seis. Strac's solutions were extremely easy to integrate (literally in few minutes) and scaled to meet our needs.

“Loved Strac's Interceptor Solution

We leverage Strac's tokenization & interceptor solution so that we don't have to worry touching sensitive SSNs and can leverage Strac's security expertise in building hundreds of security controls.

We could also detect identity fraud using Strac's unique tokenization solution which we are really happy with. That saved us a ton of financial losses and headaches. We are looking forward to integrating with various other Strac solutions deep into our tech stack.

Gmail DLP (Data Loss Prevention) FAQs

Guide Topics

Which Google Workspace plans does Strac Gmail DLP support?

Every paid Google Workspace plan — Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, and Enterprise Plus. You do not need Google Workspace Enterprise to use Strac Gmail DLP, which is different from Google's own native DLP (Enterprise-tier only).

How long does it take to install Strac Gmail DLP?

Under 10 minutes. Strac connects to your Google Workspace via OAuth — a Workspace admin grants the requested scopes, and Strac begins scanning Gmail inbound and outbound mail across all selected users. No proxy, no MX-record changes, no per-user setup.

How much does Strac Gmail DLP cost?

Strac Gmail DLP pricing depends on user count, the data classification depth you need, and which other Strac integrations you connect (Slack, OneDrive, Salesforce, etc.). Book a 30-minute call — we send a written quote within 24 hours.

Can Strac block outbound emails containing sensitive data?

Yes. Strac inspects outbound emails before they reach the recipient and can redact sensitive content in-place, block the email with a sender notification, route it through an approval workflow, or alert the security team. Policies are configurable by data type and sender group.

Can Strac redact sensitive data in incoming Gmail messages?

Yes. Strac can scan incoming Gmail messages and redact sensitive data before the recipient views the email. This is useful when customers, patients, partners, vendors, or employees accidentally send SSNs, credit card numbers, bank details, PHI, API keys, or other sensitive data into Gmail.

Strac can redact sensitive content from the email body and supported attachments, then preserve the event trail for security, compliance, and investigation workflows.

Does Strac scan Gmail attachments, including PDFs, images, DOCX, and XLSX files?

Yes. Strac inspects attachments — including PDFs, images, screenshots, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, and ZIP files — and uses OCR to detect sensitive data inside images and scanned documents.

Can Strac scan historical Gmail messages, or only new ones?

Both. Strac can run an initial historical scan across the Gmail archive when you connect it, helping you find existing sensitive data exposure. Going forward, Strac inspects new inbound and outbound emails in real time.

Is Strac Gmail DLP HIPAA-compliant? Does it sign a BAA?

Yes. Strac is HIPAA-compliant and signs Business Associate Agreements (BAA) with healthcare customers. Strac’s BAA and Google Workspace’s BAA together support Gmail use cases involving PHI.

Can I see Strac Gmail DLP working before I commit?

Yes. Book a 30-minute demo — we can walk through Strac running on a sample Google Workspace environment or help you install Strac for a proof-of-value period.
