Why your Google Workspace needs a security audit

Google Workspace has built-in security, regular updates, and effective access controls. But even the best systems need a health check from time to time. Maybe your team has grown, or you’ve connected a few extra third-party apps to make life easier. While Workspace provides the tools to protect you, it also requires a level of responsibility — and a careful audit — to ensure those tools are configured to do their job effectively.

Why it’s important to audit your Google Workspace setup

Even if Workspace was set up securely from day one, things change, people come and go, new apps get added… and before you know it, your environment might not be so secure anymore.

A Google Workspace security audit will find the obvious gaps and also take a close look at every corner of your Workspace environment. You want to make sure your system can handle cyber threats, protect data, and prevent unauthorized employee actions.

The benefits of regular security audits

As experts in the field, we know that security isn’t something you do once and forget about. A regular audit keeps your Google Workspace compliant, protected against threats, and ready for changes.

It helps you identify and fix security gaps, like outdated permissions or weak settings, before they become issues. If your business has strict data rules, an audit will make sure your setup meets necessary compliance standards. It also keeps access organized so only the right people can view sensitive information and reviews the settings to recover data if it’s accidentally or intentionally deleted.

What we check during our security audit

Our security audit is designed by cloud experts who understand the details of keeping Workspace secure and efficient. From setup to specific recommendations, we’ll make sure your environment doesn’t just “work” — but that it works safely and supports your team’s needs.

Along with a detailed report and recommendations for addressing your security gaps, we can also help you strengthen your defenses and manage your environment. With a variety of use cases under our belt, we know how to make Google Workspace work best for you.

Revolgy’s security audit involves checking administrator accounts, user accounts, apps, calendar and Google Chat, Chrome browser and Chrome OS devices, mobile devices, computers, and other endpoints, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Groups, Sites, and Vault.

We’ll take a close look at your entire Google Workspace environment to catch security weaknesses and misconfigurations early on.

Here are some key areas we’ll cover during the audit:

• Admin and user accounts: We check that admin accounts have strong protections, like Two-Step Verification (2SV) and security keys, and that user accounts follow password and security best practices.
• Third-party apps: We review which apps have access to your data, blocking unverified or risky ones to minimize external threats.
• Data sharing: Our audit checks Google Drive and Gmail settings to prevent unintentional data leaks by ensuring sharing permissions are properly set.
