Google Workspace Consulting

Customer success story

Transportation leader hardened Google Workspace security to power innovation.

Leading logistics provider built a secure DevOps environment with Google Workspace.

Pythian executed a comprehensive Google Workspace Security Posture Analysis and established automated guardrails to protect user-driven innovation.

A leading North American logistics provider faced significant operational delays relying on legacy, third-party software that lacked critical features. When employees began building custom internal tools within Google Workspace, IS&T leadership upgraded users to Google Workspace Enterprise Plus to establish enterprise security controls. Seeking to navigate 50,000 potential security configurations without stifling employee creativity, the company partnered with Pythian to conduct a comprehensive Google Workspace Security Posture Analysis. Pythian audited configurations, instituted automated security guardrails, and optimized domain operations—transforming the client’s productivity suite into a secure, agile DevOps incubator.

I was so impressed with the fact that after every meeting with Pythian, we were in a better place leaving the meeting. We were making the recommended changes in real time and in some cases seeing the benefits almost immediately."

Transportation leader wanted to accelerate software customization without exposing enterprise data to security risks.

Pythian evaluated third-party app access, instituted best-practice security operations, and provided hands-on guidance to rapidly execute top-priority security recommendations.

We now have a full development operation inside our facilities and do a lot of custom development. Pythian helped us become as agile with technology as our drivers are on the roads—because information is just as critical as the assets we're moving around on behalf of our customers."

RIGID SOFTWARE DEPENDENCIES

Bespoke logistics applications lacked critical functionality

The company faced constant operational bottlenecks waiting for costly third-party vendors to issue software updates and custom feature modifications.  

UNGOVERNED SHADOW INNOVATION

Employees built untracked internal tools to solve software gaps

Off-the-shelf software lacked vital capabilities, forcing teams to construct custom applications inside Google Workspace, creating an unmonitored development environment.

CONFIGURATION COMPLEXITY

Upgrading software exposed thousands of unmanaged settings

Moving 500 users to Google Workspace Enterprise Plus expanded security controls from 5,000 to nearly 50,000 potential settings.  

INNOVATION PRESERVATION

Security policies threatened to stifle workforce creativity

Leadership needed to secure critical logistics data without locking down the system or halting user-driven productivity.  

Identified hidden vulnerabilities across domains and integrations.

Pythian conducted a thorough Google Workspace Security Posture Analysis, evaluating domain configurations, ChromeOS settings, and third-party apps granted OAuth access to user data to eliminate security vulnerabilities.

Established proactive threat monitoring and incident protocols.

Our Google Workspace Specialists configured essential security operations, establishing domain account recovery protocols, proactive admin alerting, event monitoring, and incident response workflows.

Accelerated security execution with zero operational downtime.

The engagement delivered a prioritized action plan complete with hands-on training and guidance to execute top-priority security recommendations without disrupting operations.

The collaborative approach cultivated an agile, security-conscious culture of innovation.
