Google Cloud Platform

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of cloud computing services. GDS maintains a central account for use across GDS.

This section contains information on:

• how to get access to and use GCP
• details of certain key GCP projects
• how to use BigQuery

Logs data on the use of many GCP resources is captured and stored in Google Cloud Storage buckets. More information on this data can be found on the GCP logs data source page.

Governance

GCP is certified as ISO/IEC 27001:2022 compliant.

In many cases (such as with the collection and use of Google Analytics data), the storage and usage of data within GCP is governed by Data Protection Impact Assessments.
