Speed to value was the big win for us. We connected Google Workspace on a Tuesday, and by Thursday we already had a full inventory, exposure numbers, and our first workflows running. There were no agents, no proxies, and no six-week professional services engagement to get started. We’re a consumer brand with a tiny security team, and the pre-built playbooks cover our main risks: external shares, public links, departing employees, and sketchy OAuth apps. The Slack bot also takes care of the long tail of employee mistakes, which helps the two of us stay focused on the real threats.

The misconfiguration module maps checks to CIS controls and shows impact by app and domain, so my team fixes the worst things first instead of reading a 200-item list. Auditors like the evidence trail. Every remediation is logged with a timestamp and an actor, which ended the annual screenshot scavenger hunt. Guided remediation steps are specific enough that a junior analyst can follow them without Slack-ing an engineer.

The OAuth app inventory found 340 third-party apps connected to our Google Workspace, and I had personally approved maybe 30 of them. Each app gets a risk score based on its scopes, its usage, and where it comes from. Removing a bad one is one click, and you can bulk-remove or set a workflow that blocks new installs of unapproved categories. We killed a handful of abandoned apps that still had full Drive read access. One had been requesting email scopes since 2021.
