Case Study: Toronto Metropolitan University strengthens Google Workspace security with Spin.AI SpinBackup

Toronto Metropolitan University - Customer Case Study

Toronto Metropolitan University, a large public research university in Toronto with nearly 40,000 students and 10,000 faculty and staff, relied exclusively on Google Workspace for official email and collaboration. The university needed a way to evaluate third-party applications and identify which ones were safe to whitelist, so users could get the most out of Google Workspace without putting sensitive institutional data at risk. Spin Technology, through its SpinBackup solution, addressed this need.

Spin Technology provided Toronto Metropolitan University with a simple-to-use security platform featuring a numerical rating system and clear evaluation criteria for third-party apps. After a live demo, TMU chose SpinBackup, enabling its non-security IT staff to make faster, more confident decisions about app safety and helping protect thousands of Google Workspace users from potentially harmful applications.
