Google Workspace modernization and security
Google no longer offers the legacy free edition of G Suite to businesses (Google). Forced transitions risk data loss, broken email routing and licensing bloat from forgotten accounts. Modernization happens in three phases.
Phase 1: Migration
- Move from legacy G Suite to a current Google Workspace plan
- DNS cutover, MX records and domain verification
- Audit and map users, aliases and distribution lists to reduce the risk of lost mail
- Storage review against each plan's storage limit (Google)
- Identify and archive former-employee accounts to reduce licensing
Phase 2: Optimization
- S/MIME signing and encryption for legal and medical communications
- Gemini configuration, with written documentation
- DKIM, SPF and DMARC setup or repair
- Offboarding procedures: file-ownership transfer, email archiving, access revocation
Phase 3: Compliance layer
- puna.one signs HIPAA BAAs.
- Data region configuration
- Retention, legal hold and eDiscovery policies
