Plenty of municipalities and agencies run on Google Workspace rather than Microsoft 365. The compliance question does not change with the vendor. If Workspace holds regulated information, then the tool watching it, reading admin changes, tracking sharing, exporting configuration for the record, has to protect that data in transit with FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, and the exported evidence has to live where the regulation allows.
Workspace monitoring that meets the bar
| The requirement | Lavawall® in FIPS mode |
|---|---|
| Validated data pull | Connectors into Google Workspace run over cryptography performed by FIPS 140-3 validated modules. |
| Change monitoring | Admin changes, sharing, and configuration drift are captured continuously as timestamped evidence. |
| Residency you choose | Your tenant and its evidence can be located to match the regulation, including US regions for public-sector workloads. |
| Validated administrator sign-in | Console access can require a FIPS 140-3 validated login key. |
The same platform, whichever suite you run
Because Lavawall® monitors both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace from one FIPS-mode console, an agency running a mix, or migrating between them, keeps a single, consistent FIPS posture instead of two. See Google Workspace security for what the monitoring covers.

Frequently asked
- Does Lavawall read Google Workspace over FIPS-validated cryptography?
- In FIPS mode, yes: the Google Workspace connectors use FIPS 140-3 validated modules for their cryptography, and the exported evidence can be kept in the region your regulation requires.
- Can it monitor both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365?
- Yes, from one console, so an agency running both, or moving between them, keeps a single FIPS posture across the two.
