How do I set up my Google Workspace Integration?

The Google Workspace integration enables Adoptech to collect information about your organisation's user accounts, authentication settings and 2-Step Verification enrolment. 

This integration helps organisations:

• Monitor user account security across the organisation
• Verify that 2-Step Verification (MFA) is enabled for all active users
• Support periodic user access reviews
• Support ISO 27001, SOC 2 and Cyber Essentials compliance activities

Prerequisites

Before configuring the integration, ensure you have:

• A Google Workspace account

• Permission to authorise OAuth applications in your Google Workspace account

• Super admin or delegated admin privileges in Google Workspace

What Data We Collect

Once connected, Adoptech retrieves read-only information from Google Workspace, including:

• User account details including primary email address

• Account status (active or suspended)

• 2-Step Verification enrolment status for each user

What We Use the Data For

The imported data is used to:

• Verify that all active users have 2-Step Verification enabled

• Support periodic user access reviews

• Generate compliance evidence for authentication and access control controls

Get started

In order to complete these instructions, you need to be a user that has admin rights on Google Workspace.

Click the "Apps & Integrations" menu option on the left hand side and find the Google Workspace integration.

Press the Connect button. You will be redirected to a page at Google, where it may ask you to choose an account to continue to the Adoptech Portal. This should be your work account. If it is showing your personal Google account, click "User another account" and then select your work account. You may need to sign in to Google with your password.

You will now be presented with an authorisation page where you can grant the Adoptech Portal access to data within your Google account. Choose "Allow" to allow the Adoptech Portal to access this data.

After clicking "Allow", you will be redirected to the Adoptech Portal and the Google Workspace integration will now show "connected" in the top-right corner.
