Professional Cloud Security EngineerEnsuring data protectionEasy
A government agency is migrating highly classified workloads to Google Cloud. They have stringent compliance requirements, including data residency, personnel access controls, and operational transparency, which necessitate specific assurances about Google's operational environment. Which Google Cloud service is designed to address these requirements?
- AVPC Service Controls
- BSecurity Command Center
- CAssured Workloads
- DConfidential Computing
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Assured Workloads
Assured Workloads helps customers meet specific compliance and regulatory requirements by providing predefined environments that enforce data residency, personnel access, support, and operational controls tailored to various compliance regimes (e.g., FedRAMP, IL4, C5).
Why the other options are wrong
- A. VPC Service Controls create security perimeters to prevent data exfiltration but don't inherently provide assurances about Google's operational environment or personnel access.
- B. Security Command Center provides security posture management and threat detection but doesn't offer predefined compliance environments for data residency or personnel controls.
- D. Confidential Computing encrypts data in-use but doesn't directly address data residency, personnel access controls, or operational transparency requirements.
