2. Secure Your Data: Google Drive Data Security Health Check

Do you have a solid grasp on sharing access and controls for Google Drive? Wursta helps organizations assess and analyze shared files in My Drive and Shared Drives to determine which files are shared outside the organization and identify who shared them and who they are shared with. Based on findings from the assessment, our team will provide recommendations, consulting and expertise to remediate risks and vulnerabilities found lurking within your Google Drive.

 A Google Drive Data Security Health Check can identify vulnerabilities and ensure your sensitive information is protected. 

3. Optimize Your Browsing Experience: Get Google Chrome Enterprise Premium

Did you know that the average employee spends over 6 hours a day in a web browser? That’s a significant portion of their workday, and it highlights the crucial role browsers play in both productivity and security. Chrome Enterprise Premium empowers IT professionals to strengthen their defenses with advanced endpoint security features like data loss prevention, context-aware access control, advanced malware and phishing protection, and shadow IT control.

Wursta delivers Chrome Enterprise Premium Implementation services to help clients roll out a centralized, browser-based endpoint security experience for everyone in the organization.

4. Assess Your Salesforce Efficiency: Save Time & Money

Wursta’s Salesforce Assessment is a valuable investment to ensure your Salesforce platform is optimized for success in the new year. By identifying and addressing any security risks, potential opportunities, and workflow inefficiencies, you can improve your team’s productivity, enhance the user experience, and ultimately drive business growth.

The assessment provides a comprehensive overview of your current Salesforce setup, including user activity, custom fields, and validation rules. It also helps you align your practices with Salesforce best practices by evaluating installed AppExchange apps, workflows, process builder solutions, and APEX code and triggers.

By investing in Wursta’s services, you can free up your team’s time, reduce costs, and improve productivity, positioning your business for a successful new year.
