Google Workspace Security Assessment and Hardening

Google Workspace is secure by design but rarely configured securely. We review your admin settings, accounts, sharing and email security, and fix the gaps that attackers and accidental leaks exploit.

Overview

Google Workspace Security Assessment

What it is

A configuration review of your Google Workspace tenant with prioritised fixes, and optional hands-on hardening with your administrator.

Why organisations need it

Most Workspace incidents come from weak sign-in controls, too many administrators, files shared publicly by link, and email that can be spoofed. These are configuration problems, cheap to fix and expensive to ignore. They also matter under the PDPA's Security Principle, since Drive and Gmail hold much of an organisation's personal data.

Why Orbix

Why organisations choose Orbix

A governance approach, not a tool sale

We do not resell products, so nothing here is shaped by a vendor margin. The recommendation is whatever your risk and your budget actually justify, including telling you that you do not need the engagement yet.

Recommendations you can actually implement

Findings come with a sequence, an owner and a realistic effort estimate, sized to the team you have rather than the team a framework assumes. A report that cannot be acted on is an expense, not a control.

Consultants who have sat on your side of the table

Our people have carried the obligation internally, not only audited it. That shows up in what we consider proportionate, and in how much documentation we think you genuinely need.

Built for the Malaysian operating context

Work is grounded in Malaysian law and regulator expectation, from the PDPA and the Cyber Security Act 2024 to Bursa, BNM and SC requirements, rather than translated from a European or American template.

HRD Corp expertise where it applies

Where an engagement includes training, the training component is structured to be HRD Corp SBL-Khas claimable, which changes what the programme costs you in practice.

Questions

Questions we get asked

Do you need full admin access?

Read-only access is enough for the assessment. Hardening needs admin rights or your administrator's help.

Will changes disrupt users?

We sequence changes and communicate them to avoid lockouts.

How long does it take?

Typically one to two weeks for the assessment.

Do you cover Google Cloud Platform?

No. This covers Google Workspace. Cloud infrastructure is a separate assessment.

Does this help with PDPA?

Yes. It evidences security measures over systems holding personal data.
