Google Workspace

Google Workspace,
Actually Configured Right

Most companies use email, Docs, and Drive. That's about 30% of what Workspace can do. The other 70% is where the security, AI, and operational leverage lives — and most admins have never touched it.

A default Google Workspace deployment is better than nothing. It's not better than what's possible. The admin console has 400+ settings. Most organizations have changed 20 of them — the ones that came up during setup. The ones that control data loss prevention, external sharing, session management, audit logging, and AI activation are sitting at defaults that were designed for general availability, not for your specific company.

What we do is systematic: start with your admin console, your security center, and your IAM configuration — and bring everything to where it should be for a company of your stage and risk profile.

What a proper Workspace deployment looks like

Admin console hardening

2-step verification enforced. Session length limits set. API access audited. Third-party app permissions reviewed. Super admin accounts on hardware keys.

️ Shared Drive architecture

Drives organized by function, not by person. Ownership policies so files outlive their creators. External sharing restricted to need-to-know.

DLP policies

Data Loss Prevention rules that flag or block SSNs, credit card numbers, and confidential documents from being shared externally — or emailed out accidentally.

Meet configuration

Recording policies. External meeting access controls. Attendance tracking. Gemini meeting notes activated and governed.

Security center

The security center dashboard shows you every suspicious event in your domain. Most organizations never look at it. We configure it to surface what matters.

Gemini activation

AI features enabled and governed — with appropriate controls for which users can use which capabilities, and what data they can access.

Tools that extend Workspace natively

These products integrate directly with Google Workspace — not via a third-party connector. They feel like part of the platform because they're built to work with it.
