Google Workspace Vendor Discovery Integration

Connect Google Workspace Vendor Discovery to Sprinto to automatically identify third-party vendors accessed through Google Workspace SSO for compliance and risk assessment.

The Google Workspace Vendor Discovery integration enables Sprinto to automatically discover third-party vendors accessed through Google Workspace single sign-on (SSO). Sprinto identifies vendors by analysing application access and sign-in data available in Google Workspace.

This integration helps you maintain an accurate vendor inventory and supports continuous compliance monitoring. It requires Google Workspace to be connected as an Identity Provider before Vendor Discovery can be enabled.

Sprinto uses read-only Google Admin APIs and does not modify any data in your Google Workspace environment.

Prerequisites

  • Google Workspace connected to Sprinto as an Identity Provider

  • Google Workspace Business or Enterprise plan

  • Super Admin access to the Google Workspace domain

  • Admin access in Sprinto


How it works

Once enabled, Sprinto authenticates with Google Workspace using OAuth and analyses:

  • Applications accessed through Google Workspace SSO

  • User sign-in and audit logs

  • Application usage patterns across the organisation

Sprinto uses this information to:

  • Automatically discover vendors accessed through Google Workspace SSO

  • Populate and maintain your vendor inventory

  • Support vendor risk assessment and compliance workflows

Sprinto performs an initial discovery after connection and continues to refresh vendor data automatically.


Connect Google Workspace Vendor Discovery to Sprinto

Steps in Sprinto

  1. Sign in to the Sprinto dashboard.

  2. Go to Settings → Integrations.

  3. Search for Google Workspace.

  1. Ensure Google Workspace – Identity Provider shows as Connected.

  2. Under Google Workspace – Vendor Discovery, select Connect.

  3. Review the permissions and data usage details, then select Next.

  4. Confirm that you have Super Admin access to Google Workspace.

  5. Select Connect Google Workspace to initiate authentication.


Steps in Google Workspace

  1. When redirected, sign in using a Super Admin account.

  2. Review the requested OAuth scopes.

  3. Grant consent to allow Sprinto to read audit and usage data.

After authorisation, you are redirected back to Sprinto.


Confirm successful connection

Once the connection is complete:

  • The integration status updates to Connected

  • Sprinto begins analysing Google Workspace SSO usage

  • Vendor discovery checks become active


Post-integration behaviour (PCF flow)

After the integration is enabled:

  • Sprinto discovers vendors accessed through Google Workspace SSO

  • Newly identified vendors appear in the vendor inventory

  • Vendor data is refreshed automatically based on audit and usage reports

  • You can proceed with risk assessment and due diligence workflows for discovered vendors

Initial discovery may take several minutes, depending on domain size and SSO usage.


Troubleshooting

Unable to connect Vendor Discovery

Cause: Google Workspace Identity Provider is not connected. Resolution: Connect Google Workspace as an Identity Provider first, then retry the Vendor Discovery integration.


Vendors not appearing after connection

Cause: Insufficient permissions or limited SSO activity. Resolution: Verify that all requested scopes were granted and allow time for initial discovery to complete.


Cause: The signed-in user does not have Super Admin privileges. Resolution: Sign in using a Super Admin account and retry the integration.
