Checklist to keep Google Workspace secure

1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
   Require all users to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security. This step significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access to accounts.
   
   

2. Regularly Review User Permissions
   Admins should regularly review and update user permissions to ensure that employees have appropriate access levels based on their roles. Limit access to sensitive data to only those who need it.
   
   

3. Implement Strong Password Policies
   Encourage the use of strong, unique passwords among users and consider enforcing password complexity requirements. Regularly prompting users to change their passwords can also enhance security.
   
   

4. Configure Security Settings
   Review and configure security settings in Google Workspace, such as controlling sharing settings, managing API access, and utilizing data loss prevention (DLP) features to protect sensitive information.
   
   

5. Educate Users on Security Best Practices
   Conduct training sessions or provide resources to educate users on cybersecurity awareness, including recognizing phishing attempts, safe browsing habits, and secure file-sharing practices.

By implementing these initiatives, organizations can enhance the security of their Google Workspace environment and better protect sensitive data.
