Basic information on security in the Google data center:
Google data centers employ industry-leading security standards to protect your data. Measures include physical security, continuous monitoring, access control and encryption. These safeguards ensure that data remains secure and confidential at all times. You can find more information on the official Google website at Google Data Centers: Data Security.
Overview of compliance reports, certificates and audit reports:
Security reports and compliance certificates such as ISO 27001, C5 and ISO 22301:2019 are essential tools to build confidence in the security of cloud services. These certifications confirm that a provider such as Google Cloud meets or exceeds industry-recognized standards. The ISO 27001 certificate, for example, confirms that Google Cloud's security management systems comply with international best practices. The C5 certificate, issued by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), confirms compliance with strict security and data protection standards. The ISO 22301:2019 certification in turn confirms Google Cloud's ability to ensure business continuity and resilience in the event of emergencies. Further certificates and reports are detailed on the official Google website and provide customers with a transparent overview of Google Cloud's security measures and compliance obligations.
Google Cloud and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / revDSG):
The Google Cloud meets the strict requirements of the GDPR and Swiss data protection legislation (revDSG). Our customers' data is physically stored in the respective countries. This measure ensures compliance with local data protection laws and provides our customers with the assurance that their sensitive data is protected in accordance with legal requirements. Learn more about how Google Cloud complies with GDPR data protection requirements on the official website: Privacy at Google Cloud.
Overview of all Google Cloud security topics:
Security in the Google Cloud covers various aspects that ensure comprehensive data protection. The physical security of the infrastructure is ensured by strict controls and monitoring in the data centers. These measures are described in detail in our white paper on physical security. In addition, standard data encryption is used in the Google Cloud to ensure confidentiality. This encryption is also used during the transfer of data to protect its integrity. Further information on these security aspects can be found in our whitepapers on encryption and encryption during data transmission.
