Why it matters
Today, our Frontline offerings open up communication and collaboration channels between frontline workers and corporate teams in a way that’s safe and secure. Frontline Plus layers on our comprehensive suite of security and admin controls, as well as providing frontline workers with useful AI features, including:
Getting started
- Admins:
- Visit the Help Center to learn more about leveraging built-in Workspace data protection controls, such as AI classification, data loss prevention (DLP), information rights management (IRM), and client-side encryption (CSE), to help identify sensitive data, apply classification labels, and restrict access.
- If you have Business Starter and sign up for Frontline Plus, you can't manage shared drives. To continue to manage shared drives for your non-Frontline users, upgrade to a Business Standard or higher edition.
