Google Workspace, secured the way it should have shipped.
Gmail, Drive, and Meet run your day, but sharing, app access, and admin settings ship open by default. We harden your environment, scan it every day, and respond to threats around the clock, so collaboration never costs you your data.
Google Partner
Configuration scanned daily
In AlignCORE or on its own
Sound familiar?
Built for collaboration, not for security.
Files shared with anyone who has the link
Default Drive sharing and forgotten links can expose client data, financial records, or intellectual property.
Third-party apps with a back door
Apps approved through Google sign-in can quietly read email, calendars, and files.
Compromised Gmail accounts
Attackers use a real account to impersonate staff and redirect payments, sometimes for weeks.
Admin settings that drift
Without enforced MFA and admin monitoring, security quietly degrades as exceptions pile up.
What changes
Secure by default, and it stays that way.
Your Google Workspace, secured and managed rather than left on defaults, as part of AlignCORE or on its own.
01
Misconfigurations found and fixed
Your environment is scanned continuously against security benchmarks, and findings are prioritized by real risk and fixed on a set cadence.
02
Every app known and controlled
All OAuth integrations are identified and risk-assessed, with policies that block unauthorized apps and remove rogue ones.
03
Your data stays where it belongs
Sharing policies across Gmail, Drive, and collaboration tools are enforced, and data loss prevention rules are monitored.
04
Threats met with response, not just alerts
A SOC correlates email, sign-in, sharing, and admin console activity around the clock and acts on what it finds.
05
Audit evidence already organized
Configuration mapped to CIS Benchmarks, HIPAA, NIST, and PCI-DSS, with drift tracked continuously.

Questions
What people ask first.
Is this included in AlignCORE, or separate?
Both. Google Workspace security management is included in AlignCORE, as part of Fully Managed or Co-Managed IT. It’s also available on its own for organizations that need their Workspace secured and managed without a full managed IT engagement.
How often is our environment checked?
Continuously. Your configuration is assessed every day, not once a year or once a quarter.
Will this get in the way of collaboration?
No. Sharing and access are configured so your team collaborates freely with the people they should, and sensitive data stays protected.
AlignLayerNine is a Google Partner. Google Workspace security management is included in AlignCORE and also available on its own.
