Risks of Unprotected Google Workspace Data

Even with Google Workspace’s built-in tools, organisations face significant risks if their data isn’t independently protected.

Without a dedicated backup, risks can quickly escalate into serious operational and legal issues.

Key challenges include:

Account Breaches: a single compromised account can expose all data within your Google Workspace environment
Regulatory & Compliance Risks: this can have legal implications for directors, particularly if the organisation is unable to recover lost data

Data protection is the customers responsibility

Google Workspace does not protect data from loss in the event of incidents like ransomware – this would require a separate copy of the data to restore from.

Limited backup and retention policies

Google Workspace has limited policies in Google Vault that only fend off situational data loss – these are not intended to be all-encompassing backup solutions.

Growing threat from malware and cyberattacks

Malware and viruses have done serious damage to organisations across the globe. Not only is an organisation’s reputation at risk, but the privacy and security of internal and customer data as well.

Restricted Built-in Protection

Human error is still a leading cause of data loss. While Google Workspace offers temporary recovery windows, once they expire, recovering lost or overwritten files becomes impossible.
