Implementing Google Workspace Admin Security

When to Use

• Deploying or hardening a Google Workspace environment for enterprise use
• CIS benchmark compliance assessment for Google Workspace configuration
• Protecting against business email compromise (BEC) and phishing attacks targeting Google accounts
• Implementing Data Loss Prevention controls for Gmail and Google Drive
• Restricting OAuth application access and third-party integrations
• Configuring admin account security with Advanced Protection Program enrollment

Do not use for Microsoft 365 environments; Google Workspace has distinct admin console settings and API configurations that differ from Azure AD/Entra ID controls.
