Gemini QuickStart
Gemini is powerful. Your governance has to be too.
Gemini for Google Workspace can transform how your employees create, collaborate and support customers. But if you enable it without the right data controls, policies and change management in place, you invite new risks just as quickly as you unlock new productivity.
Our QuickStart is designed for teams who want to move fast and do it right:
- Validate how Gemini interacts with your existing Google Workspace configuration
- Ensure data privacy, DLP and access controls behave the way you expect
- Give business leaders an executive-ready view of risk, readiness and ROI potential
Who is this for?
Built for mid-tier enterprises that can’t afford AI surprises
This QuickStart is a fit if you are:
- A mid-tier enterprise with roughly 500–3,500 users
- Already running an established Google Workspace environment
- Evaluating Gemini or other AI productivity tools
- Responsible for IT, security, compliance or digital workplace outcomes
If your mandate sounds like “leverage AI to drive productivity, without creating a governance mess,” this is for you.
What you'll get in 4 weeks:
From “should we turn this on?” to “we have a plan”
By the end of the engagement, you’ll walk away with:
- AI-readiness baseline for Google Workspace & Gemini
- Documented governance & security recommendations mapped to your policies
- A baseline scorecard for AI governance and security
- A defined persona-based pilot with structured user feedback
- An actionable 30/60/90-day roadmap for organization-wide rollout
- An executive-level readiness and findings report you can share with leadership
A four-phase path to safe, confident Gemini adoption
The QuickStart is delivered over 4 weeks (about 90 hours total), in four structured phases.
Phase 1: Discovery & assessment
We start by understanding where you are today:
- Review Google Workspace configuration, identity setup and security posture
- Assess data lifecycle, classification and privacy controls
- Map AI-relevant data surfaces and access patterns so we know what Gemini will “see”
Outcome:
A clear picture of your current Workspace and data environment as it relates to AI.
Phase 2: Governance & security review
Next, we stress-test your controls against how Gemini actually works:
- Validate DLP, audit logs and access transparency
- Align to compliance frameworks and internal data policies
- Recommend governance and security controls needed for Gemini readiness
Outcome:
A prioritized set of guardrails so Gemini can be enabled safely and responsibly.
Phase 3: Persona-based pilot
Then we move from theory to reality with real users:
- Enable Gemini for targeted user groups (e.g. IT, sales, support, operations)
- Evaluate user experience, data boundaries and safe-output behavior
- Monitor productivity signals, usage metrics and privacy insights
- Capture findings, insights and lessons learned across personas
Outcome:
Evidence from real users, not assumptions, to shape your wider rollout.
Phase 4: Findings & roadmap
Finally, we package everything into an actionable plan:
- Summarize results, gaps and remediation priorities
- Deliver a 30/60/90-day adoption plan tailored to your organization
- Provide an executive-level presentation & readiness report
Outcome:
Leaders understand the risks, see the value and know the exact next steps.
Key inputs & tools we use
To keep things measurable and grounded in your environment, we leverage:
- Google Admin Console & Workspace Security Dashboard
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Access Transparency
- Gemini usage metrics and privacy insights
- Google’s Responsible AI and data governance best practices
We build on the controls and visibility you already have, then tighten where needed.
