Right-sized Google Workspace and admin security training for NAST-DOST.
A right-sized Google Workspace Business Starter deployment for a lean Secretariat, with admin training to achieve strong security and governance.
The National Academy of Science and Technology, under the Department of Science and Technology, is the country’s highest advisory and recognition body for science and technology.
NAST’s Academicians work from their own universities under their own institutional identities, while a small administrative team runs daily operations. NAST needed a unified national digital identity for consistent governance, secure communication and centralised access to official data.
LaQuest recommended Google Workspace Business Starter for the Secretariat’s email, scheduling, documentation and policy coordination, aligned with RA 9184 and COA guidelines for cost-efficient use of public funds. IT administrators were trained on Admin Console configuration, 2-step verification, secure sharing, organisational units, storage monitoring, Gmail phishing and spoofing protection, and audit logs.
NAST’s lean IT team knows exactly which settings keep the agency secure, compliant and efficient, without unnecessary upgrades.
