Getting support

Get a Cloud Customer Care offering

Google Cloud offers specific support services to meet specific customer needs, such as 24/7 coverage, multi-channel support, and access to subject-matter experts.

A support subscription is not required to create and use Assured Workloads folders. However, to receive support from personnel that meet your control package's requirements, you must have an active Enhanced Support or Premium Support subscription. An Enhanced Support subscription is available for purchase directly in the Google Cloud console. See Purchasing and setting up Enhanced Support for more information. To purchase Premium Support, contact sales.

When you create a support case for projects in Assured Workloads folders with an active Enhanced Support or Premium Support subscription, your support case is routed to personnel that, where applicable, meet requirements for work location, adjudication status, HR verification, data access controls, and more. These requirements are determined by the control package your Assured Workloads folder has been configured for. For select control packages, this includes Assured Support.

For control packages that don't include support, the support personnel handling your case are not restricted to a particular work location or adjudication status. FedRAMP Moderate workloads are adjudicated but are not restricted to a specific work location. Support personnel for regional data boundaries included the Assured Workloads Free tier are not restricted to a specific work location or adjudication status. These support personnel attributes apply regardless of whether or not you have an active Enhanced Support or Premium Support subscription.

If you have Standard Support and you create a new case, the support personnel handling your case are not restricted to a particular work location or adjudication status, regardless of the control package your Assured Workloads folder has been configured for. For example, if your Assured Workloads folder is configured for the US Data Boundary and Support control package, the support personnel handling your case are not limited to only US Persons located in the US.

If you have Basic Support, you cannot create support cases for Assured Workloads.

See the following sections for details:
