You will still be liable for any third party data, however, in as much as you have chosen to entrust it to a third party.

Some liability may or may not fall upon Google for data breaches etc, but this will depend on the agreement.

In general, though: unless specifically stated, at least some liability will always remain with you. Note that this doesn't just include clients/customers, it also includes your staff, if you are storing their personally identifiable information in the cloud - so this could not only cause financial issues, but also destroy employee trust if there is a breach! Your bank may also refuse to reimburse any money lost if bank details are stored in the cloud, as this could be considered negligence. This is mostly a matter of what is stated in the contracts, agreements (EULA or ToS etc) etc between you and Google, and potentially you and any third parties who the data belongs to.

(In fact, I'm a fan of treating things that are behind my firewall the same.) Edit Meaning: assume that it may fall into the wrong hands, and ensure that you've taken sufficient precautions to make it useless to them. Treat anything that isn't behind your firewall as though it was on a USB pen you'd just left on a train One piece of advice a tutor at university gave me was: Google Drive is presumably fairly secure, but as we saw with iCloud, people can (and do) sometimes get access to systems they shouldn't be able to access.

Any data travelling outside the organisation is encrypted.

Your company must decide for itself whether it is willing to put the data online (albeit behind Google's authentication) Google Drive is no more or less safe than any other web-based service with a single logon.
