    Why Businesses Choose Spin.AI

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Have more questions about SpinOne and Google Workspace™ Data Protection?
    Learn more from our FAQ section or contact our support.

    What Google Workspace™ security risks can SpinOne help mitigate?

    • Unauthorized access to sensitive corporate data
    • Data loss or leak due to human error or attack
    • Zero-day attack in third-party apps and extensions
    • Days of downtime due to multiple cybersecurity incidents including ransomware
    • Non-compliance

    Why should I backup my SaaS data?

    Google Workspace™ applies a shared responsibility model for data protection. It prevents data loss due to technical malfunction or attacks. However, Google places responsibility for human error exclusively on its users.

    I am looking for a solution to archive the Gmail™ accounts of former employees and retain their emails. Can you help?

    SpinOne has a special offer for archived users. You can safely delete their Google Workspace™ account and store all the data in our storage. Please connect with one of our sales team members for more information and pricing: info@spin.ai

    Is Google Workspace™ vulnerable to ransomware attacks?

    Ransomware uses OAuth access to hit cloud office suites. It exploits application vulnerabilities or human error to gain access and infect your corporate Google Workspace™.

    Does Google Workspace™ have any protection against Shadow IT?

    No. Businesses, SMBs, and enterprises alike need solutions like SpinOne. Our platform detects and assesses OAuth applications and Chrome extensions. It also alerts about any apps with high risk.

    Is my data encrypted in Google Workspace™?

    Yes, Google Workspace™ supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security to user accounts. Users can enable MFA through methods such as SMS codes, authenticator apps, or security keys.

    Is Google Workspace™ compliant with data protection regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA?

    Yes, Google Workspace™ complies with various data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). While Google provides tools and resources to help organizations meet their compliance requirements when using Workspace services, it is always recommended too invest in third-party software as an extra layer of protection for your SaaS data.

    Can third-party applications integrated with Google Workspace™ pose a risk to data security?

    Third-party applications integrated with Google Workspace™, such as add-ons and extensions, may introduce security vulnerabilities or data privacy risks.
    Users should carefully vet and review the permissions requested by these applications and ensure they come from reputable sources to mitigate the risk of unauthorized data access or leakage. SpinOne provides full visibility and fast incident response for third-party applications or extensions – try our App Risk Assessment.

    Does Google Workspace™ provide real-time monitoring and alerts for potential data loss or ransomware activity?

    While Google Workspace™ offers monitoring and alerting capabilities through its Admin Console, these tools may not always provide real-time detection of every potential data loss or ransomware incident. Users should complement Google’s built-in security features with third-party solutions and proactive monitoring to enhance threat visibility and response capabilities.
    SpinOne offers real-time, 24/7 ransomware detection and response.

    What is the pricing model?

    Please see the pricing page for details on all our packages.

    I am currently adopting Google Workspace™ for my business operations. Does Spin.AI assist with transitioning from other productivity suites to Google Workspace™?

    Yes. While your admins configure Google’s data migration services, SpinOne will provide backup and security during and after migration. SpinOne data protection measures help ensure a seamless transition for all users.

    Are all the SpinOne solutions for Google Workspace™ controlled from a centralized dashboard?

    Yes. All SpinOne solutions can be easily configured and controlled from a centralized dashboard.

    Is there any technical support included with the subscription for the SpinOne solution for Google Workspace™?

    We provide technical support for all our SpinOne solutions. Contact us at https://spin.ai/support/.

    How do I know the SpinOne for Google Workspace™ solution is enabled and configured properly?

    Your SpinOne solution is enabled and configured properly when the predefined security policies can detect account compromises, insider threats, and other high-risk behaviors based on specific criteria. Admins can simply review your policies by going to the security policy section and clicking the policy name. The summary will provide a description of the policy, including whom the rule applies to and other relevant details depending on the policy.

    How does SpinOne ensure security and compliance standards for my backed-up Google Workspace data?

    SpinOne Backup helps you operationalize the technical safeguards auditors look for without slowing teams down.

    What types of data does SpinOne back up?

    SpinOne’s backup solution, called SpinBackup, offers a comprehensive backup of all types of files stored in your SaaS applications: emails, chats, contacts & calendar entries, as well as metadata (file hierarchy, email folders, permissions).

    Is my SaaS data encrypted during backup and storage?

    Yes: SpinBackup stores your data on GCP, Azure, AWS, or other storage of your choice. It also encrypts data in use, in transit, and at rest. As an Amazon Advanced Technology Partner, we provide a layered approach to encryption, using 256-bit AES to protect data security during electronic transmission and storage.

    Can SpinOne retain archived backup data of deleted users / former employees?

    SpinBackup can retain archive data of deleted users. You can safely delete their Google Workspace™/M365/Salesforce/Slack account and store all the data in our storage.

    Do I have a choice in selecting a Cloud Provider, and which one would you recommend for backing up our Google Drive™?

    You can choose your own Cloud Provider including AWS, GCP, Azure, or BYOS. We strongly recommend Google Cloud Platform for backing up Google Workspace™ Drives.

    Will I have a choice in selecting which geographical location we are able to store data? Do you have any locations in the UK?

    You are able to store data in the United States (Iowa), Australia (Sydney), Asia (Singapore), and Europe (Netherlands) for GCP. Also we support changing storage location to Europe (London) after subscription activation via support request. We also offer Europe (Ireland) in AWS at the registration process.

    Your Privacy policy states our content will be automatically analyzed to provide us with product or service features.

    Will any employees of Spin.AI have access to the analysis SpinOne performs on our content? If yes, what data is it that they’ll be able to see?

    Customer data is encrypted at the object level. Spin.AI employees cannot see any of the customer data.

    Do you have a Business Continuity Plan in place? If yes, how often is this tested?

    Spin.AI has a formal Business Continuity Plan (BCP). The test exercises are completed at least annually.

    Do you carry out any penetration testing, and if so, how often?

    An independent penetration testing of Spin.AI critical applications is performed annually and after every major code/functionality change.

    Do you have a formal process in place to handle data breaches?

    Spin.AI has established a formal Security Incident Response Plan including a Breach Notification process.

    How often does SpinOne perform data backups?

    SpinOne performs automated daily backups up to 3 times a day for fast and accurate data recovery solutions.

    What steps should be taken immediately following a ransomware attack?

    If you suspect a ransomware attack, immediately:

    • Avoid paying the ransom as it doesn’t guarantee data recovery.
    • Use SpinOne’s backup recovery tools to restore data from clean backup versions.
    • Disconnect affected devices from the network to prevent spreading.
    • Report the incident to your IT department or security team.

    How does the backup solution assist with data recovery after a ransomware attack?

    SpinOne’s backup solution provides an intuitive interface to restore data from before the attack:

    • Initiate the recovery process, which will restore the selected files back to their original locations in the SaaS environment.
    • Identify and select the compromised files or entire accounts.
    • Choose a clean version from the versions stored prior to the attack.

    Can SpinBackup prevent ransomware attacks entirely?

    While no solution can guarantee 100% prevention, SpinOne significantly reduces the risk and impact of ransomware attacks through its advanced detection and quick recovery processes. Users are always advised to employ comprehensive cybersecurity practices alongside SpinOne’s solutions.

    Does Spin.AI protect against full‑tenant cyber attacks or only user‑level incidents?

    Both. Automated, 1-3x daily backups support tenant‑wide recovery; RDR contains in‑progress encryption and restores clean versions in minutes.

    How can I protect my company’s SaaS data from ransomware without adding more tools?

    Use a single platform that combines automated backup, real-time ransomware detection and response, and policy-based controls for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Slack, which is what Spin.AI provides.

    Do I really need a separate backup for Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 if they already store my data?

    Yes, because SaaS operates on a shared responsibility model. The SaaS provider protects the platform, but you are responsible for backing up your own data to prevent loss in the event of a natural disaster, cyber incident, or human error. 3x daily automated backups with fast, granular restores ensure you can recover from accidental deletion, insider threats, and ransomware, and that’s exactly what SpinOne delivers.

    What’s the fastest way to recover after an account is compromised or files are deleted?

    Granular and full-account restores that preserve metadata and permissions, plus ransomware-safe storage, enable rapid recovery in minutes instead of weeks with SpinOne.

    How often are backups taken and how long does a restore take?

    Automated backups run multiple times daily with point-in-time, item-level, and full restores that complete in minutes through SpinOne.

    Can I restore a single file, a mailbox, or an entire account?

    Yes, you can perform granular restores for files, emails, chats, and calendars, or full account restores with preserved structure using SpinOne.

    Do you offer immutable backups and ransomware-safe storage?

    Yes, backups are stored in ransomware-safe, immutable storage to ensure clean recovery paths with SpinOne.

    How do you handle legal holds, archiving, and eDiscovery?

    You can apply retention policies, place legal holds, run searches across users, and export content for investigations with SpinOne.

    What recovery SLAs do you offer in the U.S.?

    You can target sub-–two-hour downtime objectives for SaaS incidents supported by automated workflows and rapid recovery through SpinOne. SpinOne offers the fastest ransomware recovery SLA on the market at 2 hours.

    Will restores keep permissions and folder structures intact?

    Yes, restores preserve metadata, labels, folder structures, and permissions when executed through SpinOne.

    How should I compare backup and ransomware response SLAs across vendors?

    Evaluate recovery objectives (RPO/RTO), backup frequency (e.g., multiple times daily), immutable storage, permission/metadata‐preserving restores, and documented recoverability guarantees; for ransomware, compare real‐time detection, automated isolation, and measured downtime targets (e.g., sub‐two‐hour objectives). Verify audit logs, legal holds, and eDiscovery support for investigations. For fast, granular Google Workspace backup and Microsoft 365 ransomware detection and response with clear SLAs, Spin.AI combines 3x daily backups with automated containment and clean restore workflows you can test in a pilot.
