Despite its growing adoption, Google Workspace remains misunderstood and underestimated by IT and cybersecurity specialists. Opinions formulated about it frequently rely on a lack of product knowledge and are fueled by persistent misconceptions.
Google Workspace is much more than a simple suite of office tools. It is a secure platform that offers businesses a modern and collaborative work environment. But what about the security of your data? And how does Google Workspace comply with the Swiss Data Protection Act (nLPD)?
Security, an absolute priority
Google invests massively in cybersecurity, with over 2 billion dollars per year and 2,500 dedicated engineers. Its infrastructure is designed to offer multi-layered security, with highly secure data centers and complete redundancy.
Data encryption is an essential pillar of Google Workspace security. Data is encrypted both in transit (during transfer) and at rest (when stored on Google's servers). The Google Cloud infrastructure is built on the "zero trust" principle. 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 complementary technical and organizational measures to ensure your compliance even in the most demanding situations regarding confidentiality, availability, integrity, and traceability of data.
In our white paper Security and compliance with Google Workspace we offer you a clear understanding of the essential aspects of security, confidentiality, and compliance associated with the use of Google Workspace.
