Google Workspace Security
Colleges and universities often lack visibility into what's shared, who has access, and where data is stored within Workspace. Missteps here don't just open the door to breaches—they invite fines, lost trust, and reputational damage.
At NewPush, we apply proven security frameworks and continuous monitoring to protect your institution's most critical cloud systems. From misconfiguration management to account compromise detection, we help you regain control without compromising academic innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Google Workspace security cover for Higher Education?
Can you help us meet FERPA compliance within Google Workspace?
Yes. We map your institution's security posture against FERPA requirements and provide remediation plans to ensure student records are properly secured, auditable, and access-controlled within Workspace.
How do you protect against compromised accounts or phishing?
Our services include continuous monitoring for unusual behavior, such as impossible travel, password reset abuse, and high-risk logins. We also enhance Gmail's native phishing defenses and provide risk-based MFA and access policies.
What makes NewPush different from other Google Workspace security providers?
We specialize in the challenges unique to Higher Education—like decentralized IT, user autonomy, and complex compliance needs. Unlike one-size-fits-all vendors, we deliver Higher Ed-specific guidance, tools, and hands-on support.
Will our end users notice any changes?
No. Our changes are implemented behind the scenes to strengthen security without disrupting classroom operations or administrative workflows. Faculty and students continue using Workspace as normal—with better protection in place.
Can you secure multiple domains or campuses under a single Workspace environment?
Yes. We help Higher Ed institutions with complex, multi-campus or federated models enforce consistent security policies and reporting across all environments from a single console.
