To ensure compliance with regulations when handling protected health information (PHI) in Google Workspace, creating labels for sensitive data, such as PHI, helps employees identify and manage this information properly. Labels can be used to mark files that contain sensitive data, providing an additional layer of organization and protection. This approach aligns with regulatory requirements by ensuring that employees can easily distinguish PHI from other data and apply the necessary policies and security measures.
