Cloud Security

Google protects more than 4 billion users every day. When you work with Google Cloud, your infrastructure benefits from the same investment in security. We make sure it’s properly configured for your business.

Why is Google Cloud different when it comes to security?

Google invests more than $10 billion a year in security. The infrastructure that protects Gmail, Google Search, and YouTube is the same infrastructure that protects your GCP environment:

Encryption by default

All data at rest and in transit is automatically encrypted. No extra configuration, no additional cost. AES-256 for data at rest, TLS 1.3 for data in transit.

Global private network

Your data travels over Google's private network—the same fiber-optic network that connects its data centers. It doesn't go through the public internet. Lower latency, greater security.

Titan Security Keys

Custom security hardware on every Google server. Titan chips verify the integrity of the hardware and firmware at every boot.

Mandiant Threat Intelligence

Google acquired Mandiant (a global leader in cyber intelligence). Its threat intelligence powers Chronicle SIEM and Security Command Center to detect advanced attacks.

Our approach to cloud security

Security isn't a one-time project—it's an ongoing process. We cover all five layers:

01
Security posture audit

We assess your current configuration: overly broad IAM permissions, open firewall rules, exposed APIs, and unencrypted data. We provide you with a report outlining prioritized risks and an action plan.

02
Security Command Center (SCC)

A centralized dashboard that detects vulnerabilities, configuration errors, threats, and compliance gaps in real time. We’ll set it up, configure alerts, and show you how to use it.

03
Chronicle SIEM + SOAR

Google's SIEM analyzes petabytes of security logs without any loss of performance. Unlike Splunk or Elastic, Chronicle doesn't charge based on the volume of data ingested—you can analyze everything without having to filter based on cost. SOAR automates incident responses.

04
IAM and Zero Trust with BeyondCorp

Least privilege across all permissions. BeyondCorp Enterprise replaces your traditional VPN: conditional access based on identity, device, and context. Every request is verified—nothing is trusted by default.

05
Regulatory Compliance

We help you comply with GDPR, ENS (National Security Framework), ISO 27001, and HIPAA. Organization Policies, VPC Service Controls, Cloud DLP for sensitive data, and Access Transparency to track who accesses what.

Chronicle SIEM vs. Alternatives

Chronicle (Google)

No data volume charges. Scales to petabytes. Integrated Mandiant AI. 12-month retention included.

Splunk

Charged per GB consumed. Costs escalate quickly. Requires on-premises infrastructure or Splunk Cloud.

Elastic SIEM

Open source, but requires self-management of the cluster. Manual scaling. No native threat intelligence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Google Cloud comply with GDPR and ENS?+

Yes. Google Cloud is GDPR-compliant, has data centers in the EU (Madrid, Zurich, Finland), and offers specific tools such as Cloud DLP and VPC-SC. For ENS, ACKstorm is certified—TCC helps you implement the necessary technical controls in GCP so your organization can obtain certification.

What is Chronicle SIEM, and why doesn't it charge based on volume?+

Chronicle is Google's SIEM, built on its internal infrastructure. Since Google has no storage limitations, Chronicle doesn't charge per GB ingested—it charges a flat fee. This means you can analyze all your logs without worrying about cost, providing security visibility that would be prohibitively expensive with Splunk.

Do I need a SOC (Security Operations Center)?+

It doesn't have to be your own SOC. We can manage the security of your GCP environment as part of our managed services: threat monitoring, IAM reviews, incident response, and regulatory compliance. For companies that need a dedicated SOC, we implement Chronicle + SOAR to automate detection and response.

What is BeyondCorp, and how does it replace a VPN?+

BeyondCorp Enterprise is Google's Zero Trust model. Instead of a VPN that grants full access to the network once connected, BeyondCorp verifies every request in real time: who you are, what device you're using, and where you're connecting from. If your laptop isn't up to date, you won't be able to access the network. No VPN, no gateways, no bottlenecks.

How much does Security Command Center cost?+

SCC offers a free Standard tier that provides basic vulnerability detection. The Premium tier (which includes threat detection, compliance, and a Web Security Scanner) is billed as a percentage of GCP spending. For most companies, this amounts to an additional 2–5% of their cloud bill—a minimal cost compared to the risk of a breach.

Do you need a cloud security audit?

We assess your security posture on GCP and provide you with a report outlining prioritized risks and a concrete action plan.
