Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Integration
Use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as an evidence source in Aurora Command. Capture evidence automatically where supported, or attach exports when you need to. Aurora keeps the source, timestamp, owner, and review history so evidence stays reusable between reviews.
Common coverage includes Cloud audit logging and Cloud Security Management --- Cloud security management.
No compliance guarantees. We'll confirm what's automated and what stays export-based.

Setup
01
Connect Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Sign-in method: Gcp Service Account. Start with least-privilege access where supported.
02
Confirm Evidence Sources and Cadence
Confirm evidence sources and set cadence (every 1 hours).
03
Validate Capture (Read-Only Where Possible)
Validate evidence capture in read-only mode (where possible) before expanding workflows.
04
Map Evidence to Controls
Map captured artifacts to controls (2 mapped controls listed).
05
Bundle evidence when needed
Export an evidence bundle (ZIP) when you need an offline attachment. Aurora keeps the underlying source and timestamps so the work stays reusable.
What This Integration Captures
What Aurora monitors
2 continuous checks
GCP audit logs enabled • GCP Storage Public Access Prevention enforced
Evidence Aurora can collect
2 evidence types
Accounts • Resource
How it stays current
Incremental updates every 1 hours. Full refresh daily.
Checks update as new data is synced.
Checks
Automated checks Aurora can run
Checks map directly to common buyer requirements. Reviewers see the result as exportable evidence, not a screenshot.
GCP audit logs enabled
GCP Storage Public Access Prevention enforced
Evidence
Evidence types collected
These evidence objects can be mapped to controls and exported as an evidence bundle or audit workbook snapshot.
Produces
- Evidence objects with source details
- Freshness and cadence status
- Evidence bundle exports (plan-based)
Security Note
Read-only API, scoped credentials, and an audit trail (where supported by the connector and your environment).
Cadence Controls
Incremental updates every 1 hours. Full refresh daily.
Why It Matters for Reviewers
- Reduces “show me” follow-ups by attaching system exports to answers.
- Keeps timestamps explicit for audit windows.
- Makes sampling easier through evidence bundles.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Integration Questions
Does this require admin access?
Does this require admin access?
It depends on the evidence you choose to capture. We'll confirm required permissions during setup.
Can we control cadence?
Can we control cadence?
Yes. In eligible plans, cadence is configurable.
Can we export evidence if a reviewer asks?
Can we export evidence if a reviewer asks?
Yes, when needed. You can export evidence bundles for offline attachments, or share a controlled reviewer view through Trust Center. Aurora keeps the source and timestamps so the work stays reusable between reviews.
Want to Confirm Evidence Coverage for Google Cloud Platform (GCP)?
Bring one reviewer request. We'll map what can be automated, what stays manual, and how to share it in a controlled way.
No obligation. We respond within one business day. No compliance guarantees.
