Is Google Workspace safe?
As a service for productivity, collaboration, file storage, and cloud performance, Google Workspace is definitely one of the most secure tools on the web today.

How secure is Google Workspace's Gmail?
Every single email message you send or receive – 100% of them – is encrypted while moving between Google's data centers. This ensures that your messages are safe – not only when they move between your devices and Gmail's servers, but also as they move internally within Google.
