01 — The problem
Files owned by whoever left.
Company documents sit in personal My Drive folders. When someone leaves, files go with the account unless ownership is transferred.
Security defaults are permissive: 2-step verification optional, external sharing open, no alerts on suspicious sign-ins.
02 — What we build
What the engagement delivers.
Domain and DNS
Domain verification, MX records, SPF, DKIM and DMARC set at the start.
Organisational structure
Org units, groups for teams and distribution lists, and shared drives per department with access by group.
Migration
Mail, calendars and contacts from Microsoft 365, IMAP or another Workspace using Google’s migration tools, plus files to shared drives.
Security baseline
Enforced 2-step verification, external sharing rules, device management and alert rules.

FAQ
Questions about Google Workspace.
Can we move from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace?
Yes. Mail, calendar and contacts migrate with Google’s tools; files move from OneDrive and SharePoint to shared drives with a mapping plan.
What happens to files when an employee leaves?
With shared drives, files belong to the company. Remaining My Drive files are transferred before the account is deleted.
Can Workspace sign us into our CRM?
Yes, with SAML or OIDC single sign-on for most CRMs.
Which edition do we need?
Business Standard covers most teams. Business Plus adds Vault and advanced endpoint management.
