The Challenge
Native investigation tools are slow and siloed, forcing teams to search individual cloud workspaces separately while limiting access to the signals needed to quickly find relevant evidence.
Our Solution
Material unifies data across Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, enabling fast, precise searches across multiple workspaces so teams can find evidence and move investigations forward in seconds.
Hear it from our customers
“Material accelerated our incident response and investigations. Previously, we couldn’t search for messages across platforms and domains. Search took hours to respond and was difficult to navigate. With Material, searching for suspicious messages is so straightforward and easy—it takes 20 seconds; not hours. It previews everything right there, with ability to hunt, peck and pivot right at your fingertips.”

The Challenge
Native tools slow search to a crawl
When a security incident happens or an internal investigation kicks off, companies must get a thorough view of relevant email, files, and communications. The clock starts ticking for security, legal, and HR teams who must respond to these issues, but native features don’t make it easy to collect and review this information.
- Native tooling is cumbersome The native features teams use for investigations, like Microsoft Purview, require complex logic and search is often painfully slow to return results.
- Search is isolated to a single tenant If your company has multiple Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace tenants, you can’t perform a unified search across these environments. You’re stuck searching instance by instance, again and again.
- Not all signals are exposed While cloud workspace platforms collect a rich set of signals, events, and data, not all of them are included in native search tooling. This means that investigators and analysts don’t have the granularity they need to craft precise searches.
Our Solution
Material provides fast, comprehensive search capabilities
Material is built to simplify and speed up the search process so investigations move quickly. Whether it’s a threat hunter looking for evidence of an incident or an IT pro pulling together data for an HR or legal investigation, Material makes it easy to pinpoint what’s needed.
- Precise results, fast The platform returns results so quickly that searches that used to take hours now take seconds. A streamlined interface and intuitive layout make search a breeze.
- Search across instances Material brings together multiple cloud workspaces into one console so investigators can perform comprehensive searches.
- Deeper search capabilities With Material, you can search on signals that would otherwise be hidden in native tools. Get precise control over results, and easily see message content, headers, and similar emails.
