Our team is looking to expand our workflow by connecting several external CRM tools, but I'm concerned about maintaining data privacy within our google workspace saas environment given the rise in OAuth exploits.

To securely integrate third-party apps with Google Workspace, use App Access Control to restrict OAuth permissions. Limit access to Trusted apps, enforce Least Privilege, and regularly audit the Security Checklist. For high-risk data, utilize Google Cloud Armor and mandate Two-Factor Authentication for all integrated service accounts.

To ensure a safe connection between third-party applications and Google Workspace’s SaaS application, you should initially assess the credibility of the applications and the permissions that they may have. You should utilize OAuth 2.0 for authentication purposes, limit access through Google Admin, and apply two-factor authentication.
