Episode 54 — Trust, Transparency, and Compliance on GCP
Trust and transparency form the foundation of Google Cloud’s compliance strategy. This episode explains how Google Cloud demonstrates accountability through certifications, audit frameworks, and openly published security documentation—all key areas of the Google Cloud Digital Leader exam. Compliance in cloud computing extends beyond checklists; it’s a continuous process ensuring that controls meet legal and industry obligations across regions. Google Cloud adheres to international standards like ISO 27001 and SOC 2, while supporting frameworks such as GDPR and FedRAMP. Transparency comes from detailed reports, shared control matrices, and continuous third-party validation.
We explore how customers use these resources to verify that Google Cloud meets their internal and external compliance requirements. Tools like the Compliance Resource Center and Assured Workloads simplify risk assessment by mapping regulations to applicable controls. For exam scenarios, remember that compliance and trust are outcomes of transparent design, not afterthoughts. Leaders who understand these relationships can communicate assurance effectively to regulators and stakeholders.
