Gemini sits inside the browser, across Google Workspace, and in Google AI search. Without DLP controls, confidential data flows freely into all of them. Aona detects, redacts, and hard-blocks sensitive data in real time, across Gemini on the web, Gemini in Google Workspace, and Google AI search.
These four data types appear most frequently in Gemini prompts and uploads, and create the most significant compliance and competitive risk.
Names, email addresses, phone numbers, account details, pasted into Gemini during customer service, sales, or data analysis tasks.
Revenue data, forecasts, earnings reports, payment card numbers, and budget documents shared with Gemini before public disclosure.
Proprietary algorithms, API keys, database credentials, and internal codebases submitted to Gemini without restriction.
Board minutes, M&A information, competitive strategy, and legal correspondence dropped into Gemini for drafting or summarisation.
Three-stage pipeline from prompt to protection, all in real time, before data leaves your environment.
Aona intercepts every prompt and file upload before it is submitted to Gemini, on the web and inside Google Workspace. The content is inspected in milliseconds, with no latency impact on the employee experience.
Aona classifies the prompt content server-side against your data policies, identifying PII, financial data, source code, and custom data types using AI-native pattern recognition.
Depending on your policy, Aona hard-blocks the prompt or automatically redacts the sensitive portion, in real time. There is no acknowledge-and-continue override.
Aona DLP works across every surface Gemini runs on, from the standalone web app to Gemini inside Google Workspace and Google AI search.

Gemini is woven into Docs, Sheets, Gmail, and search, so employees reach for it without thinking of it as a separate AI tool. That makes accidental data exposure more likely, not less. Aona applies the same hard-block and redaction policy across Gemini on the web, Gemini in Google Workspace, and Google AI search, so the control follows the employee wherever Gemini appears.
Gemini is built directly into Google Workspace, so the act of using it does not feel like sending data to an AI tool. That is precisely why sensitive content slips out without anyone noticing.
An employee asks Gemini to redraft a paragraph in Docs, summarise a thread in Gmail, or analyse a range in Sheets. Each of those actions sends the underlying content, which is often customer data, revenue figures, or confidential correspondence, to the model. Aona inspects that content on submit, so the same hard-block and redaction policy applies inside the Workspace apps as on the standalone Gemini app.
Google describes data protections for Gemini inside paid Workspace editions, but those boundaries only cover the domain your organisation administers. They do nothing about an employee on a personal Google account using consumer Gemini in the same browser. Aona enforces one policy regardless of which account the employee is signed into.
Beyond Workspace, employees reach Gemini through the standalone web app and encounter Google AI directly in search results. Both are easy to forget when scoping AI data risk.
The standalone Gemini web app accepts long prompts and file uploads, and staff use it for exactly the tasks that involve sensitive material: drafting, analysis, and summarising documents they have to hand. Aona's browser plugin for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox inspects every prompt and upload before it reaches Gemini.
Google now answers many searches with AI Overviews, so employees increasingly type detailed, context-rich queries into the search bar expecting a generated answer. Those queries can carry internal detail that should never leave the organisation. Aona covers Google AI search alongside Gemini, so the search box is not an unmonitored gap.
