A salesperson leaves for a competitor and spends the next week downloading your entire client database. Nobody noticed for days.
ABOUT ASTOR
We built the security officer most businesses can't afford to hire.
Most small businesses on Google Workspace are one bad click away from a serious problem. A fake invoice. A fired employee with lingering access. A Drive link that never should have been public. Astor exists to change that: real governance, real accountability, and reporting your team can actually understand.
WHY WE EXIST
Google Workspace is powerful. It's also quietly dangerous when nobody's watching.
We spent years inside growing small businesses, construction firms, agencies, law practices, watching the same problems repeat. Google Workspace had become the nerve center of every operation. Payroll data in Drive. Contracts in Gmail. Vendor relationships in shared folders.
And almost none of it was properly secured.
Not because owners didn't care. Because nobody had the time, the access, or the specific knowledge to get it right and then keep it right as the team grew, people left, and new tools got connected.
The Spoofed Invoice
The controller gets an email that looks exactly like it came from the owner. It doesn't. $40,000 wires to a scammer before anyone catches it.
The Public Link
An internal strategy doc accidentally shared as "Anyone with the link." It's been indexed by Google for eight months. Nobody knew.
THE TEAM
Built by people who've seen what breaks.
Welcome to Astor, where security meets simplicity. Astor was founded by two long-time IT professionals, Tony and Ryan, who both grew up near a neighborhood in Green Bay, Wisconsin, called Astor Park: the namesake of the company.
From the start of their careers, Tony and Ryan were deeply involved in IT and security, becoming early adopters of Google Workspace. They loved how it enabled businesses to grow without the burden of heavy IT overhead. Over time, as they grew their businesses, they noticed a significant gap: businesses lacked visibility into their Google Workspace environment, from third-party app access to license optimization.
Astor was created to solve that problem. Today, the company is dedicated to providing small and medium sized businesses with the tools and visibility they need to secure their Google Workspace without complexity. By focusing on simplicity and peace of mind, Astor allows business owners to concentrate on what they do best, leaving the security worries to a team that understands their needs.
