Secure Google Workspace & Google Cloud
Secure sign-ins, controlled sharing, managed Chrome, independent backup, and clear administration across Google Workspace, with scoped support for the Google Cloud systems you rely on.
Run Workspace with clear ownership.
We organize users, policies, shared drives, storage, and retention around how the organization works. Ongoing administration, security coverage, and fixed-scope projects each have a defined delivery path below.
Organizational units and policies
We group staff by role so policies can differ for executives, contractors, and finance without being managed one account at a time.
Shared drive structure
We move approved company files out of individual drives and into shared drives with clear membership and ownership, so offboarding does not depend on a departing employee's account.
Storage management
We track pooled storage use and apply the retention and archive rules the organization and its advisers have approved.
Google Vault configuration
Where the licence supports it, we configure retention rules and legal holds in Google Vault to support obligations identified by the organization and its advisers.
Check more than the password.
Google Workspace can evaluate identity, device state, location, and application before granting access. The controls available depend on the Workspace edition and how devices and browser profiles are managed.
- Risky sign-ins
Where the Google Workspace edition supports it, access policies can consider the user, device, location, and application before allowing a sign-in.
- Unsafe browser extensions
Chrome browser policies can install approved extensions, restrict unapproved ones, and apply Safe Browsing settings to managed profiles and devices.
- Phishing against high-risk accounts
Security keys can provide phishing-resistant verification for administrators, finance staff, executives, and other accounts with elevated exposure.
- Weak verification methods
We document recovery methods and move accounts in scope toward Google prompts, passkeys, or security keys rather than relying on text-message codes.
Use Google as the identity provider.
Supported business applications can use Google sign-in so access is assigned and removed in one place. Google Cloud roles and supported legacy systems can follow the same identity lifecycle.
Application sign-on
We connect supported business applications to Google sign-in so access can be assigned and removed through a managed identity.
Supported legacy systems
Where appropriate, supported on-premises systems such as virtual private network or Wi-Fi authentication can use managed Google identities.
Google Cloud roles and permissions
We limit project roles to the access each person needs and review permissions that could expose or change cloud resources.
Keep Google Cloud work scoped and owned.
Google Cloud work is scoped around the systems you actually run. We handle access, configuration, migration, storage, and network rules where a cloud workload needs a clear technical owner.
- Compute Engine
We configure supported Windows or Linux virtual machines for applications that need their own operating system or network configuration.
- Cloud Storage
We configure Cloud Storage with lifecycle policies that move older data into the agreed storage tier.
- Network access rules
We restrict public administrative access and use identity-aware access methods where they fit the workload and operating requirements.
Migrate first. Plan recovery separately.
A successful migration does not create a backup. We plan and validate the cutover, use Google Vault for approved retention and legal hold rules, and keep a separate recovery copy of the Workspace data included in scope.
Email and data migration
We inventory the source, test a representative sample, move the approved email, calendar, contact, and file data, then reconcile counts and exceptions after cutover.
Independent cloud backup
A separate backup keeps recovery copies of the Gmail, Drive, shared drive, and Calendar data in scope. Google Vault handles retention and legal hold, which is a different job.
Drive for desktop
Drive for desktop lets staff work with shared drive files through the desktop without keeping a full local copy of every folder.
Choose the right delivery path.
Google work can be ongoing security, full day-to-day administration, or one defined project. The scope should say which one you are buying.
Industries we serve on Google Workspace.
These businesses and nonprofits depend on Google Workspace for email, files, and collaboration.
Startups
Add people without rebuilding the tenant each time, and keep the security evidence organized for investor or enterprise-buyer questions.
Consulting firms
We scope each client's shared drive to the people on the engagement, review external sharing, and give consultants only the files they need.
Architecture studios
Large models and drawing sets move through shared drives with access scoped to the project team.
Frequently asked questions.
What Google Workspace work does Teclara provide?
There are three delivery paths. Managed Security & Compliance covers ongoing sign-in controls, email protection, independent backup, configuration monitoring, endpoint protection, and alert review. Managed IT adds full day-to-day Workspace administration, devices, licensing, and helpdesk. Fixed-scope engagements cover reviews, cleanups, setups, migrations, policy implementation, and Gemini security hardening.
What is Context-Aware Access?
Context-Aware Access lets supported Google Workspace editions consider the user, device, location, and application before granting access. It can challenge or block access that falls outside the approved rules. We confirm the Workspace edition, device management, exceptions, and recovery path before applying it.
Can you migrate us from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace?
Yes. Migrations are scoped projects. We inventory the source, test a representative sample, plan the cutover, move the approved email and file data, and reconcile counts and exceptions afterward. Company files can be mapped into shared drives with membership and ownership defined before launch.
What is the difference between Google Vault and an independent backup?
Google Vault supports retention, legal hold, search, and export for supported Workspace data. An independent backup is used for operational recovery from deletion, corruption, or account compromise. The retention rules, backup scope, and restore process are documented separately because the two systems do different jobs.
Do you manage Google Cloud systems?
Yes, when the systems and responsibilities are clearly scoped. The work can cover project access, virtual machines, cloud storage, network rules, identity-aware administrative access, and cost controls. We confirm which projects and workloads are included before making changes.
Put clear ownership around Google Workspace.
We will review the tenant, the controls already in place, and who owns the remaining work, then recommend the right delivery path.
