License requirementsFor Vault to search and retain a user’s data, users must have a Google Workspace license and a Vault license.
Vault licenses included Vault add-on licenses availableVault retention rules are directly applied to the data systems of supported Google services. Vault isn’t a data archive. When retention rules expire, any data deleted by users or admins that isn't on hold is subject to standard deletion processes. When data is purged after a retention period ends, it can’t be recovered by users or admins. Learn more about how retention works.
Note: Vault doesn’t retain data until you set up retention rules. Until you do, users can delete data and services can purge it according to that service’s protocol.
eDiscovery: Search, hold & export data of interestWith Vault, authorized users can search for data, put data on hold, and export data for further analysis.
Vault supports the first steps of the eDiscovery process outlined by the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM):
A data export is available in Vault for 15 days, then the export is deleted to protect that data. Learn about exports.
You can control who can access Vault and what actions are available to them. This ensures that only authorized users have access to your organization’s data. Turn on Vault for select organizational units and assign the organizational units to an admin role with Vault privileges. Learn more about controlling access to Vault and Vault privileges.
Vault provides a complete audit log of user activity in Vault, including when a user creates or edits a retention rule, runs a search, or exports data. The audit log can’t be edited. Learn more about audit reports.
