Implementing Google Workspace Admin Security

When to Use

Deploying or hardening a Google Workspace environment for enterprise use
CIS benchmark compliance assessment for Google Workspace configuration
Protecting against business email compromise (BEC) and phishing attacks targeting Google accounts
Implementing Data Loss Prevention controls for Gmail and Google Drive
Restricting OAuth application access and third-party integrations
Configuring admin account security with Advanced Protection Program enrollment

Do not use for Microsoft 365 environments; Google Workspace has distinct admin console settings and API configurations that differ from Azure AD/Entra ID controls.

Prerequisites

Google Workspace Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, or Enterprise Plus license
Super Admin access to the Google Admin Console (admin.google.com)
DNS management access for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC record configuration
Google Cloud Identity or Cloud Identity Premium for advanced security features
FIDO2 security keys for super admin accounts (YubiKey 5 Series recommended)

Workflow

Step 1: Harden Super Admin Accounts

Secure the highest-privilege accounts in the Google Workspace tenant:

# Google Workspace Admin SDK - configure admin account security
# Using gam (Google Apps Manager) CLI tool

# List all super admin accounts for audit
gam print admins role "Super Admin" > super_admins.csv
echo "Review and minimize super admin count (recommended: 2-3 maximum)"

# Enforce Advanced Protection Program for super admins
# APP provides strongest account protections:
# - Requires FIDO2 security key for sign-in
# - Blocks third-party app access to Gmail and Drive
# - Enhanced account recovery verification
gam update user superadmin@corp.com \
    advanced_protection true

# Create dedicated break-glass admin account
gam create user breakglass-admin@corp.com \
    firstname "Break" lastname "Glass Admin" \
    password "" \
    changepassword  \
    org 


gam create admin breakglass-admin@corp.com

Term	Definition
Advanced Protection Program (APP)	Google's strongest account security requiring FIDO2 security keys, blocking third-party app access, and enhanced identity verification for account recovery
Context-Aware Access	Security policy framework that evaluates device posture, location, and user identity before granting access to Google Workspace applications
DMARC	Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance protocol that prevents email domain spoofing by validating SPF and DKIM alignment
DLP Rule	Data Loss Prevention policy that scans content in Gmail, Drive, and Chat for sensitive data patterns and triggers block, quarantine, or warn actions
OAuth App Allowlisting	Admin control restricting which third-party applications can access organizational data through Google OAuth API scopes
2-Step Verification (2SV)	Google's multi-factor authentication implementation supporting security keys, phone prompts, TOTP, and backup codes as second factors
