Dutch public sector gets green light to use Google Workspace
A year after the Dutch data protector said there were too many “legal obstacles” for its civil servants to use Google Workspace, a re-worked agreement will permit the public sector to fire up the productivity suite.
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) into Google Workspace was launched by the Central Dutch government in 2020. The report noted there were eight high-risk issues, principally around data collection.
Now Google said: “As a result of this process, the Central Dutch government, the Dutch education sector organisations/institutions, and Google Cloud found agreement and will continue working together on the DPIA recommendations.” In short, Dutch public sector organizations will be able to use the likes of Chat, Docs, Meet, and Sheets.
