Use Google Workspace (Directory) As a Review-Ready Evidence Source

Pull evidence from Google Workspace (Directory), preserve source and collection history, and map the output directly to the controls reviewers ask about. Aurora automates recurring collection where the connector supports it and keeps export-based handoffs clean where it does not.

Setup

Setup

A short path from connection to an exportable evidence bundle.

01
Connect Google Workspace (Directory)
Sign-in method: Oauth2 Service Account Domain Wide Delegation. Read-only, least-privilege access.
02
Confirm Evidence Sources and Cadence
Confirm evidence sources and set cadence (every 30 minutes).
03
Validate Capture (Read-Only Where Possible)
Validate evidence capture in read-only mode (where possible) before expanding workflows.
04
Map Evidence to Controls
Map captured artifacts to controls (2 mapped controls listed).
05
Bundle evidence when needed
Export an evidence bundle (ZIP) when you need an offline attachment. Aurora keeps the underlying source and timestamps so the work stays reusable.

Capture

What This Integration Captures

Evidence types and collection notes, based on the integration’s published resources.

What Aurora monitors
3 continuous checks
Multi factor authentication is enabled for all active human users • Multi factor authentication is enabled for all admin users
Evidence Aurora can collect
3 evidence types
User accounts • Groups and roles
How it stays current
Incremental updates every 30 minutes. Full refresh daily.
Checks update as new data is synced.
Checks
Automated checks Aurora can run
Checks map directly to common buyer requirements. Reviewers see the result as exportable evidence, not a screenshot.
Multi factor authentication is enabled for all active human users
Multi factor authentication is enabled for all admin users
At least 1 break-glass account exists and is monitored
Evidence
Evidence types collected
These evidence objects can be mapped to controls and exported as an evidence bundle or audit workbook snapshot.

Permissions
Permissions and Scope
Aurora Command uses least-privilege, read-only access. If elevated scope is required, it is documented during setup so you know exactly what is being accessed.

Reviewers

Why It Matters for Reviewers

A few ways this reduces follow-ups during audits and buyer reviews.

  • Reduces evidence follow-ups by attaching system exports directly to answers.
  • Keeps timestamps explicit for audit windows.
  • Makes sampling easier through evidence bundles.

Common questions

Google Workspace (Directory) Integration Questions

Short answers to common evaluation questions.

Does this require admin access?
It depends on the evidence you choose to capture. We'll confirm required permissions during setup.
Can we control cadence?
Yes. In eligible plans, cadence is configurable.
Can we export evidence if a reviewer asks?
Yes. Export evidence bundles for offline attachments, or give reviewers structured access through Trust Center. Aurora keeps the source and timestamps so work stays reusable between reviews.
