Restrictions and limitations

The following sections describe Google Cloud-wide or product-specific restrictions or limitations for features, including any organization policy constraints that are set by default on Data Boundary for IRS 1075 folders. Other applicable organization policy constraints —even if not set by default— can provide additional defense-in-depth to further protect your organization's Google Cloud resources.

Google Cloud-wide

Affected Google Cloud-wide features

Feature
Description
Google Cloud console
To access the Google Cloud console when using the Data Boundary for IRS 1075 control package, you have the option of using the Jurisdictional Google Cloud console. The Jurisdictional Google Cloud console is not required for Data Boundary for IRS 1075, and can be accessed using one of the following URLs:
For more information, see the Jurisdictional Google Cloud console page.

Google Cloud-wide organization policy constraints

The following organization policy constraints apply across Google Cloud.

Organization policy constraint
Description
Set to the following locations in the allowedValues list:
  • us-locations
  • us-central1
  • us-central2
  • us-east1
  • us-east4
  • us-east5
  • us-south1
  • us-west1
  • us-west2
  • us-west3
  • us-west4
This value restricts creation of new resources to the selected values. When set, no resources can be created in any other regions, multi-regions, or locations outside of the selection. See Resource locations supported services for a list of resources that can restricted by the Resource Locations organization policy constraint, as some resources may be out of scope and unrestrictable.

Changing this value by making it less restrictive potentially undermines data residency by allowing data to be created or stored outside of a compliant data boundary.
gcp.restrictNonCmekServices
Set to a list of all in-scope API service names , including:
  • bigquerydatatransfer.googleapis.com
Some features may be affected for each of the services listed above.

Each listed service requires Customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) . CMEK allows that at-rest data is encrypted with a key managed by you, not Google's default encryption mechanisms.

Changing this value by removing one or more in-scope services from the list may undermine data sovereignty, because new at-rest data will be automatically encrypted using Google's own keys instead of yours. Existing at-rest data will remain encrypted by the key you provided.
Set to allow all supported products and API endpoints .

Determines which services can be used by restricting runtime access to their resources. For more information, see Restricting resource usage .
gcp.restrictTLSVersion
Set to deny the following TLS versions:
  • TLS_1_0
  • TLS_1_1
See the Restrict TLS versions page for more information.

BigQuery

Affected BigQuery features

Feature
Description
Enabling BigQuery on a new folder
BigQuery is supported, but it isn't automatically enabled when you create a new Assured Workloads folder due to an internal configuration process. This process normally finishes in ten minutes, but can take much longer in some circumstances. To check whether the process is finished and to enable BigQuery, complete following steps:
  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Assured Workloads page.

    Go to Assured Workloads

  2. Select your new Assured Workloads folder from the list.
  3. On the Folder Details page in the Allowed services section, click Review Available Updates .
  4. In the Allowed services pane, review the services to be added to the Resource Usage Restriction organization policy for the folder. If BigQuery services are listed, click Allow Services to add them.

    If BigQuery services are not listed, wait for the internal process to complete. If the services are not listed within 12 hours of folder creation, contact Cloud Customer Care .

After the enablement process is completed, you can use BigQuery in your Assured Workloads folder.

Gemini in BigQuery is not supported by Assured Workloads.

Unsupported features
The following BigQuery features are not supported and should not be used in the BigQuery CLI. It is your responsibility not to use them in BigQuery for Assured Workloads.
The BigQuery CLI is supported.

Google Cloud SDK
You must use Google Cloud SDK version 403.0.0 or newer to maintain data regionalization guarantees for technical data. To verify your current Google Cloud SDK version, run gcloud --version and then gcloud components update to update to the newest version.
Administrator controls
BigQuery will disable unsupported APIs but administrators with sufficient permissions to create an Assured Workloads folder can enable an unsupported API. If this occurs, you will be notified of potential non-compliance through the Assured Workloads monitoring dashboard .
Loading data
BigQuery Data Transfer Service connectors for Google Software as a Service (SaaS) apps, external cloud storage providers, and data warehouses are not supported. It is your responsibility not to use BigQuery Data Transfer Service connectors for Data Boundary for IRS 1075 workloads.
BigQuery does not verify support for third-party transfers for the BigQuery Data Transfer Service. It is your responsibility to verify support when using any third-party transfer for the BigQuery Data Transfer Service.
Non-compliant BQML models
Externally-trained BQML models are not supported.
Query jobs
Query jobs should only be created within Assured Workloads folders.
Queries on datasets in other projects
BigQuery does not prevent Assured Workloads datasets from being queried from non-Assured Workloads projects. You should ensure that any query that has a read or a join on Assured Workloads data be placed in an Assured Workloads folder. You can specify a fully-qualified table name for their query result using projectname.dataset.table in the BigQuery CLI.
Cloud Logging
BigQuery utilizes Cloud Logging for some of your log data. You should disable your _default logging buckets or restrict _default buckets to in-scope regions to maintain compliance using the following command:

gcloud alpha logging settings update --organization=ORGANIZATION_ID --disable-default-sink

See Regionalize your logs for more information.

Compute Engine

Affected Compute Engine features

Feature Description
Suspending and resuming a VM instance This feature is disabled.

Suspending and resuming a VM instance requires persistent disk storage, and persistent disk storage used for storing the suspended VM state cannot currently be encrypted by using CMEK. See the gcp.restrictNonCmekServices organization policy constraint in the section above to understand the data sovereignty and data residency implications of enabling this feature.
Local SSDs This feature is disabled.

You will be unable to create an instance with Local SSDs because they currently cannot be encrypted by using CMEK. See the gcp.restrictNonCmekServices organization policy constraint in the section above to understand the data sovereignty and data residency implications of enabling this feature.
Guest environment It is possible for scripts, daemons, and binaries that are included with the guest environment to access unencrypted at-rest and in-use data. Depending on your VM configuration, updates to this software may be installed by default. See Guest environment for specific information about each package's contents, source code, and more.

These components help you meet data sovereignty through internal security controls and processes. However, if you want additional control, you can also curate your own images or agents and optionally use the compute.trustedImageProjects organization policy constraint.

See the Building a custom image page for more information.
OS policies in VM Manager Inline scripts and binary output files within the OS policy files are not encrypted using customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK). Therefore, don't include any sensitive information in these files. Alternatively, consider storing these scripts and output files in Cloud Storage buckets. For more information, see Example OS policies .

If you want to restrict the creation or modification of OS policy resources that use inline scripts or binary output files, enable the constraints/osconfig.restrictInlineScriptAndOutputFileUsage organization policy constraint.

For more information, see Constraints for OS Config .

Compute Engine organization policy constraints

Organization policy constraint Description
compute.disableGlobalCloudArmorPolicy Set to True .

Disables the creation of new global Google Cloud Armor security policies , and the addition or modification of rules to existing global Google Cloud Armor security policies. This constraint doesn't restrict the removal of rules or the ability to remove or change the description and listing of global Google Cloud Armor security policies. Regional Google Cloud Armor security policies are unaffected by this constraint. All global and regional security policies that exist prior to the enforcement of this constraint remain in effect.

compute.disableGlobalLoadBalancing Set to True .

Disables creation of global load balancing products.

Changing this value may affect your workload's data residency or data sovereignty.
compute.restrictNonConfidentialComputing

(Optional) Value is not set. Set this value to provide additional defense-in-depth. See the Confidential VM documentation for more information.

compute.trustedImageProjects

(Optional) Value is not set. Set this value to provide additional defense-in-depth.

Setting this value constrains image storage and disk instantiation to the specified list of projects. This value affects data sovereignty by preventing use of any unauthorized images or agents.
