Key features
Key features of Assured Workloads
Data residency
To help comply with data residency requirements, Google Cloud gives you the ability to control the regions where data at rest is stored.
During Assured Workloads setup, you create an environment and select your compliance program. When you create resources in the environment, Assured Workloads restricts the regions you can select for those resources based on the compliance program you chose using Organization Policy.
The Google Cloud Data Location Service Specific Terms apply.
Cryptographic control over data access
Google Cloud applies encryption at rest and in transit by default. To gain more control over how data is encrypted, Google Cloud customers can use Cloud Key Management Service to generate, use, rotate, and destroy encryption keys according to their own policies.
Cryptographic control over data access is achieved through the use of Key Access Justifications (KAJ) together with our Cloud External Key Manager (EKM).
Assured Workloads configures the appropriate encryption services per workload depending on the compliance program you chose.
Assured Support
Regulated customers’ compliance obligations extend to support services. Assured Support is a value-added service to Premium or Enhanced Support to ensure only Google support personnel meeting specific geographical locations and personnel conditions support their workload when raising a support case or needing technical assistance.
By delivering the same features and benefits of Premium or Enhanced Support (including response times) with an added layer of controls and transparency, Assured Support helps customers meet compliance requirements without compromising on the level and quality of support.
Assured Workloads monitoring
Assured Workloads monitoring scans your environment in real time and provides alerts whenever organization policy changes violate the defined compliance posture. The monitoring dashboard shows which policy is being violated and provides instructions on how to resolve the finding.
"We chose to deploy with Google Cloud Assured Workloads because it provides us with the security controls we need and helps address a wide range of compliance requirements. Our ability to meet requirements around the globe enables us to grow our business while reducing the overhead and complexities of the multinational compliance process."
David Williams, Cloud Manager, Iron Mountain
