Google Workspace Security Assessment and Hardening

A Google Workspace security assessment is a review of your tenant's sign-in, administrator, sharing and email settings, with prioritised fixes. 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.

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.

FAQ

FAQ

Read-only administrator access is enough for the assessment, so nothing can be changed by accident while we review. Hardening, where we apply the fixes, needs admin rights or your administrator working alongside us, and every change is agreed with you first.

Not if they are sequenced. Changes such as enforcing multi-factor sign-in or restricting external sharing are rolled out in stages and communicated to users first, so nobody is locked out and teams know what to expect. We plan the order with your administrator.

Typically one to two weeks for the assessment: scoping and read-only access, review of sign-in controls, administrator roles, Drive sharing and email security, then a findings walkthrough. Optional hardening is scheduled afterwards, in stages.

No. This assessment covers Google Workspace, meaning Gmail, Drive, accounts and admin settings. Google Cloud infrastructure is a separate assessment, covered by our Cloud Security Posture Assessment.

Yes. Gmail and Drive hold much of an organisation's personal data, and the PDPA's Security Principle expects practical steps to protect it. The assessment report evidences the security measures over those systems, which is useful in a PDPA audit or after an incident.
