Google Workspace Settings Every Small Business Should Check

Secure Email Settings

Make sure your email settings are secure. Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) by going to Settings > Security and enabling it. Also, check your spam and phishing settings under Settings > Security > Spam and phishing protection. Adjust these settings to block suspicious messages and ensure important emails don't end up in the spam folder.

File Sharing and Collaboration

Review your file sharing and collaboration settings. In Settings > Sharing, you can control who can view and edit files. Make sure only authorized users can access sensitive documents and collaborate on projects. Set up Google Drive permissions so you can control who can view files and who can edit or delete them.

Admin Controls

Admin controls allow you to manage access and settings from a central place. Go to Settings > Admin > Manage users and settings. Here, you can control user access, set policies, and manage settings for features like G Suite Admin Dashboard and Google Groups. Adjust these settings to align with your business needs.

Security Settings

Review your security settings to keep your data safe. In Settings > Security, you can manage your account's security, including changing your password and enabling 2FA. Also, check your security policies, such as malware protection and password requirements, to ensure your data is as secure as possible.

Backup and Restore

Make sure you have a backup plan in place. Go to Settings > Admin > Backup and restore. Here, you can set up a backup schedule and review your backup settings. Ensure your backups are secure and that your team knows how to restore data if needed.

What to Do This Week

This week, review your Google Workspace settings to ensure they align with your business needs. Make changes as necessary and educate your team on best practices for using Google Workspace. Regularly review and update these settings to stay secure and productive.

Doing it once, properly

Cheaper is usually more expensive in the long run: a rushed or bargain setup is often done again from the start, and you pay twice, plus whatever the breach in between cost.
