Google Workspace Runs Your Organization. AlignLayerNine Makes Sure It's Secure.

Gmail, Drive, Meet, Admin Console — your team depends on Google Workspace every day. But default configurations leave gaps that attackers exploit. AlignLayerNine hardens your environment, monitors for threats around the clock, and ensures your Workspace security posture stays aligned to best practices — continuously, not just at setup.

We don't replace your IT team. We make them unstoppable.

Google Workspace Is Built for Collaboration. Not for Security Out of the Box.

If no one is actively auditing and hardening your Workspace configuration, you're exposed.

Google gives you powerful tools, but the security configuration is on you. Admin console settings, sharing permissions, third-party app access, authentication policies — all of it ships open by default. And the threats targeting cloud productivity environments don't care which platform you're on. Business email compromise, credential theft, data exfiltration through rogue apps — they hit Google Workspace just as hard as Microsoft 365.

Continuous Security for Your Entire Google Environment

Configuration Hardening & Vulnerability Scanning

We continuously scan your Google Workspace environment against security benchmarks — identifying misconfigurations, excessive permissions, weak authentication policies, and risky third-party app integrations. Every finding is prioritized by actual risk, not just severity scores, and remediated on a structured cadence. Your environment doesn't just get set up securely — it stays that way.

Automated scanning. Prioritized findings. Continuous remediation.
Compliance Posture & Framework Alignment

We map your Google Workspace configuration against compliance frameworks including CIS Benchmarks, HIPAA, NIST, and PCI-DSS — giving you continuous visibility into your compliance posture. Automated monitoring tracks drift, and remediation keeps you aligned. When audit time comes, your evidence is already organized.

Compliance that's documented continuously, not scrambled for annually.
Third-Party App & OAuth Risk Management

Every third-party app connected to your Google Workspace is a potential attack vector. We identify all OAuth integrations, assess their risk profiles, and enforce policies that prevent unauthorized apps from accessing your environment. Rogue apps are flagged and removed before they can exfiltrate data or maintain persistent access.

Every app in your environment is known, assessed, and controlled.
Data Protection & Sharing Controls

We audit and enforce sharing policies across Gmail, Drive, and collaborative tools — ensuring sensitive data isn't exposed through overly permissive settings, external sharing defaults, or forgotten link permissions. Data loss prevention rules are configured and monitored so your organization's information stays where it belongs.

Your data. Your control. Enforced automatically.
24/7 Cloud Monitoring & Threat Detection

Your Google Workspace is monitored around the clock by a Security Operations Center that correlates signals across email activity, sign-in behavior, file sharing patterns, and admin console changes. When something anomalous happens — a compromised account, a suspicious login, unauthorized data access — our SOC responds, not just alerts.

Detection and response, not just detection and notification.

90% of breaches worldwide start with phishing — and Gmail is a primary target

230,000+ known vulnerabilities tracked and scanned against daily

16+ compliance frameworks supported for continuous posture monitoring

Continuous scanning not annual, not quarterly — your environment is assessed every day

These Are the Risks Hiding in Your Google Environment

Business Email Compromise via Gmail

Attackers gain access to a legitimate Gmail account and use it to impersonate employees, redirect payments, or exfiltrate sensitive data. Without active monitoring, these compromises can persist for weeks.

Overpermissioned Sharing & Data Exposure

Default sharing settings in Drive and Docs can leave sensitive files accessible to anyone with a link — or worse, indexed publicly. One misconfigured sharing policy can expose client data, financial records, or IP.

Rogue OAuth Applications

Third-party apps authorized through Google OAuth can silently access email, calendar, and Drive data. Without visibility into what's connected, these apps become persistent backdoors.

Weak Authentication & Admin Console Drift

Without enforced MFA, Conditional Access equivalents, and continuous admin console monitoring, your Workspace security degrades over time as settings drift and exceptions accumulate.
