Why Google Admins
Need This Guide?
Enterprises face common threats like targeted phishing, ransomware, insider risks, and shadow IT. While Google Workspace provides a strong foundation, native tools leave critical blind spots at an enterprise scale.
This guide gives you a clear structure to:
- Build a Layered Defense: Follow a clear strategy starting with Identity & Access (MFA, Least Privilege), moving to Data Protection (Encryption, File Sharing Governance), and expanding to Response (Incident Response).
- Enforce Strong Identity Controls: Mandate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and apply Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to ensure users only have access aligned to their role.
- Stop Data Breaches and Shadow IT: Govern third-party apps by reviewing connected services and block high-risk integrations that gain excessive access to corporate data.
- Quickly Audit and Remediate Exposure: Use the 30-Day Quick Start Checklist to guide weekly actions, such as auditing MFA adoption, removing public file links, and testing your Incident Response Plan.
- Gain Complete Visibility and Control: Go beyond native tools with GAT Labs to get comprehensive auditing, automated enforcement (GAT Flow), and real-time monitoring of browser activity and risky downloads (GAT Shield).
It’s built for admins who want to stop small misconfigurations from becoming major breaches and ensure continuous auditing for compliance with standards like GDPR. Plus, get a free Incident Response Checklist to help your team act fast when handling data access requests or security incidents.
