Google Workspace handles collaboration well. But as organizations grow, the question of who has access to which groups, admin roles, shared drives, and connected OAuth applications, and whether that access is still appropriate, becomes increasingly difficult to track without dedicated governance tooling.
Google Groups control access to Drives, calendars, internal tools, and third-party apps. As employees change teams and roles, group memberships accumulate. Most organizations have no systematic process for reviewing whether those memberships still make sense.
Third-party applications connected to Google Workspace via OAuth accumulate broad permissions over time. Service accounts used by internal tooling and automations are rarely reviewed for scope or ownership. Both represent significant, largely unmanaged access surface.
When employees leave, their Google accounts are suspended but group memberships, shared Drive access, and delegated permissions often remain. Manual offboarding checklists miss things. Every item missed is an exposure that persists indefinitely.
BalkanID integrates directly with Google Workspace to bring continuous risk detection, role analysis, access reviews, lifecycle automation, and JITPBAC into a single governed view.
IAM Risk Analyzer
Reduced attack surface · Findings with recommended remediations
BalkanID continuously scans your Google Workspace environment for excessive admin privileges, stale accounts, MFA gaps, and segregation of duties violations across all identity types. Every finding is prioritized by severity and explained with recommended remediations.
RBAC Analyzer
Least privilege enforced · Role sprawl eliminated · SoD violations detected and remediated
BalkanID models every Google Workspace admin role assignment and group-based access grant, scores each for risk, and surfaces where role design and utilisation can be improved. Birthright group memberships are analysed against real peer data. What-if analysis shows the impact of changes before enforcement.
User Access Reviews
Audit-ready evidence · Informed decisions, not flat exports
Run access certifications for every identity type in Google Workspace, including group memberships, admin role assignments, and OAuth app grants. Approvers see last used date, risk score, peer comparison, and recommended action. Not a CSV from the Google Admin console.
Lifecycle Management & JML Playbooks
Zero orphaned accounts · No residual group memberships
Automate every Joiner, Mover, and Leaver event connected to your HRIS and Google Workspace. New hires get the correct group memberships and admin role assignments based on peer analysis of colleagues with the same role and department. Role changes trigger an atomic recalculation. Leavers have accounts suspended and all group memberships removed immediately, with full audit evidence retained.
JITPBAC & Non-Human Identity Governance
No standing privilege · Service principals and managed identities governed
Replace persistent admin role assignments and broad group memberships with just-in-time, purpose-based grants that are time-bound, approved, and automatically revoked. For OAuth-connected apps and service accounts, BalkanID provides full discovery, scope analysis, risk scoring, and continuous governance.
BalkanID gives your team a live, continuously updated view of Google Workspace identity risk, across users, groups, admin roles, and every OAuth application connected through Workspace.
Role sprawl identified with a clear path from current Workspace role state to ideal RBAC state. SoD violations detected and remediated continuously.
JITPBAC eliminates standing admin role assignments. A compromised account has no persistent Super Admin or delegated admin foothold in your Workspace environment.
Access review evidence and provisioning records generated from live Workspace data, not assembled manually before every compliance window.
Onboard, offboard, and manage employee transitions with fully automated lifecycle management workflows, with full audit evidence at every step.
