Security

Benefits of Cloud

Protecting your data is our top priority.

Google started in the cloud and runs on the cloud, so it’s no surprise that we fully understand the security implications of powering your business in the cloud. Because Google and our enterprise services run on the same infrastructure, your organisation will benefit from the protections that we’ve built and use every day. Our robust global infrastructure, along with dedicated security professionals and our drive to innovate, enables Google to stay ahead of the curve and offer a highly secure, reliable and compliant environment.

You own all of your data

Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) customers own their data, not Google. Google does not scan your information and there is no advertising in Google Workspace. It’s also easy to move your data if you stop using the services.

Trusted by over 5 million businesses

The cloud is used by millions of organisations all over the world every day. Now over 60% of the Fortune 500 have gone Google and there are 70 million users of Google for Education across the globe.

100% of your emails are encrypted

Your core Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) data is HTTPS encrypted whilst moving within Google or over the Internet. Google Workspace is also ISO 27001 certified and audited regularly to ensure compliance with regulation.

Google Workspace (G Suite) has exceptional security

There has never been an incident where data has been stolen directly from Google since Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) was launched in 2006. In fact Google offer rewards for hackers to expose vulnerabilities in their systems so they are constantly improving their security. The company also employs over 550 experts and invests millions every year to ensure that their systems are fully secure.

Where is your data stored?

Google has multiple data centres around the world – UK, Europe and beyond. These data centres are highly secure with very strict control on who is permitted to be on-site so the risk of a leak is minimised. Your data is split up and replicated in several locations to reduce the impact of a computer failure and extraction of sensitive information more difficult.

Google Vault

This app is included in Google Workspace (G Suite) Business and offers a whole range of features to help meet your organisation’s compliance needs. You can search through your entire organisations emails, instant messages and files from the moment the app is switched on. Furthermore, you can set organisation-wide retention rules for how long deleted emails are stored in user’s mailboxes and before being deleted by Google.

Strong authentication

2-step verification greatly reduces the risk of unauthorised access by asking users for additional proof of identity when signing in. Our security key enforcement offers another layer of security for user accounts by requiring a physical key. The key sends an encrypted signature and works only with the sites that it’s supposed to, helping to guard against phishing. Google Workspace administrators can easily deploy, monitor and manage the security keys at scale from within the administration console – without installing additional software.
