Data-in-transit protection

Data protection between buyer and supplier networks: Private network or public sector network

TLS (version 1.2 or above)

IPsec or TLS VPN gateway

Legacy SSL and TLS (under version 1.2)

Other
Other protection between networks: Securing data in transit is a high priority for Google. Google was the first major cloud provider to enable HTTPS/TLS by default. Google has also upgraded all our RSA certificates to 2048-bit keys, making our encryption in transit for Cloud Platform and all other Google services even stronger. Perfect forward secrecy (PFS) minimizes the impact of a compromised key, or a cryptographic breakthrough. It protects network data by using a short- term key that lasts only a couple of days and is only held in memory, rather than a key that’s used for years and kept on durable storage.
https://cloud.google.com/security/
Data protection within supplier network: TLS (version 1.2 or above)

IPsec or TLS VPN gateway

Legacy SSL and TLS (under version 1.2)

Other
Other protection within supplier network: Google encrypts Cloud Platform data as it moves between our data centers on our private network. Traffic on Google's networks is encrypted.
https://cloud.google.com/security/

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability: SLAs are service specific:
https://cloud.google.com/terms/sla/
Approach to resilience: Google operates a global network of data centers to reduce risks from geographical disruptions. The link
below includes the locations of our data centers:
http://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/
Google does not depend on failover to other providers and builds redundancy and failover into its own
global infrastructure.
Google performs annual testing of its business continuity plans to simulate disaster scenarios that
simulate catastrophic events that may disrupt Google operations.
https://cloud.google.com/files/Google-Cloud-CSA-CAIQ-January2017-CSA-CAIQ-v3.0.1.pdf (section BCR-01)

Security governance

Named board-level person responsible for service security: Yes
Security governance certified: Yes
Security governance standards: ISO/IEC 27001
Information security policies and processes: Our security policies are grounded in internationally recognized standards, such as ISO 27001, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all aspects of information security. We have a clear reporting structure with senior security engineers overseeing the security operations and reporting directly to the senior management to ensure transparency and accountability. Compliance with these policies is mandatory for all employees, and adherence is ensured through regular training, audits, and continuous monitoring. Violations are handled through a formal disciplinary process. Additionally, we employ automated systems to enforce security measures, such as access controls and data encryption, and we conduct periodic reviews and updates of our policies to adapt to evolving threats and regulatory changes, ensuring our security practices remain robust and effective.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach: In Google production environments, software updates are manually vetted to ensure the stability of the system. Changes are then tested and cautiously rolled out to systems. The details vary somewhat depending on the service being considered, but all development work is separated from the operation systems, testing occurs in a multi-staged fashion in both environments and in dedicated test settings. We can share, under NDA, the SOC2 audit report (based on standards from the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board), which describes the change management process. Additionally, changes to code go through a process of code review involving additional engineer(s).
Vulnerability management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach: Google administrates a vulnerability management process that actively scans for security threats using a combination of commercially available and purpose-built in-house tools, intensive-automated and manual penetration efforts, quality assurance processes, software security reviews and external audits. The vulnerability management team is responsible for tracking and following up on vulnerabilities. Once a vulnerability requiring remediation has been identified, it is logged, prioritized according to severity, and assigned an owner. The vulnerability management team tracks and follows up frequently until remediated. Google also maintains relationships with members of the security research community to track issues in Google services and open-source tools.
Protective monitoring type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach: Google’s security monitoring program is focused on information gathered from internal network traffic, employee actions on systems and outside knowledge of vulnerabilities. At many points across our global network, internal traffic is inspected for suspicious behavior, such as the presence of traffic that might indicate botnet connections. Network analysis is supplemented by examining system logs to identify unusual behavior, such as attempted access of customer data. They actively review inbound security reports and monitor public mailing lists, blog posts, and wikis. Automated network analysis helps determine when an unknown threat may exist and escalates to Google security staff.
https://cloud.google.com/security/whitepaper
Incident management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach: We have a rigorous incident management process for security events that may affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of systems or data. This process specifies courses of action, procedures for notification, escalation, mitigation, and documentation. Google’s security incident management program is structured around the NIST guidance on handling incidents (NIST SP 800–61). Key staff are trained in forensics and handling evidence in preparation for an event, including the use of third-party and proprietary tools. Testing of incident response plans is performed for key areas, such as systems that store sensitive customer information.
https://cloud.google.com/security/whitepaper

Secure development

Approach to secure software development best practice: Independent review of processes (for example CESG CPA Build Standard, ISO/IEC 27034, ISO/IEC 27001 or CSA CCM v4.0)
