I’ve compiled a checklist of configurations that G Suite administrators should implement after deployment.

Google Drive Sharing Permission Settings
Restrict Sharing with Domains Not on Whitelist
In Google Drive’s global settings, configure to allow external sharing only to domains included in the whitelist.
From [Sharing Settings] - [Sharing Options], select Whitelisted Domains and enable the following two settings:
- ✅ Warn when [Organization Name] users share files owned by them with users from whitelisted domains
- ✅ Allow [Organization Name] users to receive files from users outside of whitelisted domains
Management of Files Stored in Shared Drives
From [Content Distribution Outside [Organization]], I selected Don’t allow anyone.
Shared Drive Restrictions

Email Security Enhancement
Following the G Suite Administrator Help, configure all of DKIM, SPF records, DMARC, MTA-STS, etc.
That’s all about wanting to cover the points that G Suite administrators should configure from the Gemba.
