Recommended Actions

  1. Obtain and execute Google Workspace's Data Processing Amendment (DPA) — navigate to https://workspace.google.com/terms/dpa_terms.html or contact your Google account manager. The DPA is required to establish a GDPR-compliant controller-processor relationship and to access Google's published subprocessor list. Retain a signed copy with your TPSP documentation.
  2. Conduct manual sanctions screening for Google LLC (parent entity) against OFAC's SDN List (https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/), the EU Consolidated Sanctions List, and the UN Security Council list, as automated screening was unavailable during this assessment. Document the date and result.
  3. Review Google Workspace's security and compliance documentation at https://workspace.google.com/security and https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance to identify current certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS). Request current audit reports directly through your Google account representative or via Google's compliance reports manager at https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance/compliance-reports-manager.

Google Workspace Compliance Context

Google Workspace is one of the most widely deployed productivity suites in mid-market organizations, handling email, documents, and collaboration data that often includes sensitive business information. Organizations pursuing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 should verify Google Workspace's compliance certifications and understand the shared responsibility model for data protection. For marketing and CRM vendors that integrate with Google Workspace, see the HubSpot vendor risk assessment for an example of how integration dependencies compound compliance obligations.

Frequently asked about Google Workspace

Is Google Workspace safe to use as a vendor?+
Google Workspace can be evaluated for vendor safety by checking sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), verifying business registration through legal entity registries like GLEIF, scanning for adverse media coverage including data breaches and regulatory actions, and assessing domain security and cyber risk posture. ThirdProof automates this entire investigation across 23 intelligence sources and produces a deterministic risk tier (1-5 scale) with a confidence score. Run a free investigation to see Google Workspace's full risk profile.
Does Google Workspace have SOC 2 certification?+
To verify whether Google Workspace holds SOC 2 certification, ThirdProof scans the vendor's trust page and security documentation for certification claims, then cross-references those claims against independent registries where available (such as the FedRAMP Marketplace for FedRAMP authorization). Certifications are classified as independently verified, vendor attested, or not found in evidence — ensuring you know the verification level of each claim.
Is Google Workspace FedRAMP authorized?+
Based on ThirdProof's investigation, Google Workspace is not currently listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. Organizations with federal compliance requirements should verify this directly and consider alternative vendors with FedRAMP authorization where required.
Has Google Workspace had any data breaches?+
ThirdProof's adverse media analysis searches multiple news APIs and public records for data breaches, security incidents, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and financial distress signals involving Google Workspace. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification. The investigation also checks SEC EDGAR for enforcement-related filings and FDIC records for financial institution failures, providing a comprehensive public record review.
Is Google Workspace on any sanctions lists?+
ThirdProof screens Google Workspace against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives from similar names. If Google Workspace or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers an automatic escalation to the highest risk tier. No sanctions match is confirmed through a clean screening report in the investigation output.
How do I assess Google Workspace for vendor risk?+
ThirdProof investigates Google Workspace autonomously in under 2 minutes using 23 intelligence sources — no questionnaires, no vendor participation required. The investigation covers sanctions screening, cyber risk scoring, business registration, adverse media, domain security, and more. Reports are formatted for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CMMC compliance frameworks. Your first investigation is free.
