Despite its growing adoption, Google Workspace remains little-known and underestimated by IT and cybersecurity specialists. Opinions about it are frequently based on a lack of product knowledge, and fuelled by persistent misconceptions.
Google Workspace is much more than just a suite of office tools. It's a secure platform that offers businesses a modern, collaborative working environment. But what about the security of your data? And how does Google Workspace comply with the Swiss Data Protection Act (nLPD)?
Safety, an absolute priority
Google invests heavily in cybersecurity, with over $2 billion a year and 2,500 dedicated engineers. Its infrastructure is designed to offer multi-layered security, with highly secure data centers and full redundancy.
Data encryption is an essential pillar of Google Workspace security. Data is encrypted both in transit (when it is transferred) and at rest (when it is stored on Google's servers). The Google Cloud infrastructure is built on the principle of "zero trust". And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
nLPD compliance
Google Workspace complies out-of-the-box with the requirements of the nLPD and its ordinance (OPDo). But in addition, the Workspace administrator can take additional technical and organizational measures to ensure your compliance even in the most demanding situations in terms of data confidentiality, availability, integrity and traceability.
