In today’s digital education landscape, maintaining tight control over app access and data permissions is critical. Schools using GAM (Google Apps Manager) often accumulate multiple projects over time—each with its own set of scopes and permissions. Without regular reviews, outdated or excessive access may go unnoticed, creating unnecessary vulnerabilities.

At Get Set Tech, we recommend routinely auditing all GAM projects to ensure they’re still relevant and aligned with your school’s current needs. Verifying that only approved and necessary apps are granted access to sensitive Google Workspace data is a foundational best practice. This includes revoking unused scopes and deprecating projects that no longer serve instructional or administrative purposes.

Implementing regular GAM reviews reinforces your school’s commitment to data security, compliance, and educational technology best practices. These proactive checks reduce the likelihood of misconfiguration and improve your overall edtech environment management, giving your IT team greater clarity and control over the digital tools in use.
