    Connecting Google Workspace to WatchDog Security

    This guide explains how to connect Google Workspace to WatchDog Security using OAuth authentication.
    Once connected, WatchDog will begin monitoring your Google Workspace environment for security posture risks, configuration issues, and asset inventory data.

    What WatchDog Monitors#

    WatchDog operates in read-only mode and does not modify configuration settings within your Google Workspace environment.
    After the integration is connected, WatchDog may monitor:
    Scopes
    User and Identity Information
    Users within your Google Workspace domain
    User profile information
    User aliases configured for each account
    Domain and Customer Information
    Customer account metadata
    Domains associated with the Google Workspace organization
    Administrative Access
    Delegated administrator roles
    Admin privilege assignments
    Audit and Activity Logs
    Google Workspace audit logs
    Administrative activity logs
    Security event logs
    Usage and Reporting Data
    Workspace usage statistics
    User activity reports
    Service usage reporting
    The exact information collected depends on the permissions granted during authorization.

    Requirements#

    Before connecting the integration, ensure the following:
    You have administrator access to Google Workspace
    You're an Account Owner or Security Admin in the WatchDog Security portal

    Step 1 — Open the Integration in WatchDog#

    1.
    Select the Google Workspace administrator account
    2.
    Review the permissions requested by WatchDog
    3.

    WatchDog will then establish a secure OAuth connection to your Google Workspace environment.

    Initial Sync#
