THE CHALLENGE

Why Google Workspace Security Requires Continuous Monitoring

Google Workspace environments evolve constantly. New users, integrations, sharing permissions, and configuration changes can quickly introduce security risks. Common Google Workspace exposures include:

Excessive super-admin privileges
Publicly shared Google Drive files
Weak Gmail authentication settings
Risky third-party OAuth applications
Disabled audit logging
Limited compliance visibility

Without continuous monitoring, these misconfigurations can go unnoticed until they are exploited.

THE SOLUTION

Continuous SaaS Security & Compliance Monitoring

CheckRed continuously analyzes your Google Workspace configurations, permissions, and integrations to identify security risks and compliance gaps across every critical area.

Identity & Access

Monitor super-admin privileges, enforce MFA policies, detect excessive permissions, and review role assignments across all users and groups.

External Sharing

Identify publicly accessible or overly permissive Google Drive sharing settings that expose sensitive documents and folders to unauthorized parties.

Gmail Security

Verify SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication configurations are properly enforced to prevent phishing, spoofing, and email-based attacks targeting your domain.

Third-Party Applications

Detect risky OAuth tokens and external app integrations with broad data scopes that may expose sensitive data or create unauthorized access pathways.

Google Workspace Security Best Practices

Securing Google Workspace requires more than a one-time configuration review. As users, integrations, and sharing settings evolve, new risks are introduced daily.

CheckRed continuously evaluates your environment against proven security best practices—identifying misconfigurations, enforcing access controls, and detecting risky third-party activity before it becomes a threat.

By automating security checks and mapping them to compliance frameworks, CheckRed helps organizations maintain a strong, audit-ready SaaS security posture at all times.

Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication

Require multi-factor authentication (MFA) across all users—especially administrators—to prevent account takeover. CheckRed continuously monitors MFA enforcement and identifies accounts that fall outside policy, helping teams quickly close authentication gaps.

Limit Administrative Privileges

Apply least-privilege access across your Google Workspace environment. CheckRed identifies excessive or unused admin permissions and highlights high-risk accounts, reducing the likelihood of privilege abuse or lateral movement.

Control External File Sharing

Restrict public and external Google Drive sharing to prevent unintended data exposure. CheckRed detects overly permissive sharing settings and identifies files that are publicly accessible or shared outside approved domains.

Secure Email Authentication

Ensure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are properly configured to protect against phishing and domain spoofing. CheckRed continuously validates email authentication settings and flags misconfigurations that could expose your organization to impersonation attacks.

Monitor Third-Party Applications

Continuously review OAuth tokens and connected applications to detect and revoke unauthorized access. CheckRed identifies risky third-party integrations with excessive permissions and helps security teams manage SaaS-to-SaaS access more effectively.
