Due to security requirements, an organization requires blocking access to consumer Gmail (gmail.com) while allowing enterprise Google Workspace account access (company.com). How is this accomplished?
- Turn off Gmail for consumer accounts in the organizational service settings in the Google Workspace Admin console.
- Create a CNAME record for gmail.com in your DNS settings to redirect consumer traffic.
- Add a “X-GoogApps-Allowed-Domains HTTP header” header to outbound Google Workspace traffic at your network perimeter.
- Disallowing access to consumer Gmail can only be accomplished via written policy versus technical means
