Legal and compliance

As an administrator, you might be required to help providing data to support some legal issue or to hold data copies in specific way to comply with legal requirements.

In this section, you can find a list of useful resources that will help you fulfill your legal requirements.

The various options you have relating to the legal issues and regulatory compliance for your G Suite account are as follows:

1. In this section, the first element on the list will be Google Cloud Storage Locations, which will take you to a site where you will be able to see the locations of Google's data centers. This is worth looking at if your business is sensitive about the physical location of your data.
2. The second item on the list is Google Cloud subprocessors. This refers to a list of Google affiliates that help the company with some of their services, such as customer support and hiring agreements. 
3.  The third section contains the current Private certifications that G Suite has from other third parties, such as the Privacy Shield Framework.
4. The fourth section refers to Security certifications and third-party audits, which shows more details on all the certifications, standards, and regulations that Google Cloud keeps in compliance with.
5. Next, we have the Google security overview, which has a link to download the Google Cloud security white paper that explains all the security features and certifications of Google Cloud.
6. Then, we have Google's cloud data protection team, which offers a direct link to the G Suite Administrator Help. This contains an FAQ of common problems, as well as instructions on what to do before asking for support and how to get it.
7. Finally, you will find fields that, if applicable, you should fill with the contact information of your business EU representative and the data protection officer, which is a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirement for businesses in the European Union.

Hopefully, you won't be needing this much. Let's continue with our legal compliance by learning how Data regions can help us meet physical requirements for digital data in G Suite.
