Is there a real compliance requirement or is this just a lack of trust in the underlying technology?
Often people don't realize all the work Google does for you in their data centers to ensure that your data is secure and highly available / resilient to infrastructure failure.
There's a great white paper linked below that goes into specific detail about how your data at rest is encrypted on multiple replicated disks to ensure HA, and also is stored in separate backup media as described on page 10:

If you've been tasked with setting up an existing business with a Google Workspace account for email purposes, how do you do that during sign up?
One of the steps is "How you'll sign in". https://i.imgur.com/FSFaYsO.png
It asks for the email address of someone at the domain you're setting up. What if I don't currently have access to one of their email inboxes (since their email is hosted elsewhere currently). But I do have access to their DNS.
Just curious what is best-practice when creating the initial account for their business. In the past, I recall being able to use my own email address, but may be mistaken, since I don't do it very often. Meanwhile, I've signed up for "Google Cloud Partner Advantage" to likely do it via that method, which is likely the way most companies to this for their clients.
