## 19. Attachment Compliance Filtering

This section determines whether attachments are filtered based on file type, file name, and message size. The compliance actions based upon the word lists are reject, quarantine, or deliver with modifications.

A Google Workspace solution is not strictly required to satisfy this baseline control, but the solution selected by an agency should offer services comparable to those offered by Google.

### Policies

#### GWS.GMAIL.19.1v0.1
Attachment compliance SHOULD be enabled to filter specific attachments within Gmail messages.

- Rationale
- This allows filtering of confidential/sensitive information from Gmail messages stored within specific file attachments to help prevent unauthorized or accidental sharing.

- [T1204:002: User Execution: Malicious File](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1204/002/)

#### GWS.GMAIL.19.2v0.1
The attachment filter SHOULD attempt to determine the true file type and assess the file extension.

- Rationale
- This allows filtering of confidential/sensitive information from Gmail messages stored within specific file attachments to help prevent unauthorized or accidental sharing.

#### GWS.GMAIL.19.3v0.1
The set of disallowed file types SHALL be determined.

- Rationale
- This allows filtering of confidential/sensitive information from Gmail messages stored within specific file attachments to help prevent unauthorized or accidental sharing. This also helps protect the organization from attacks based on specific file types.

#### GWS.GMAIL.19.4v0.1
Any third-party or outside application selected for attachment compliance filtering SHOULD offer services comparable to those offered by Google Workspace.

- Rationale
- A third-party system should provide the same minimum functionality provided by Google.
