Data Boundary for International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)

This page describes the set of controls that are applied on ITAR workloads in Assured Workloads. It provides detailed information about data residency , supported Google Cloud products and their API endpoints, and any applicable restrictions or limitations on those products. The following additional information applies to ITAR:

Prerequisites

To remain compliant as a user of the ITAR control package, verify that you satisfy and adhere to the following prerequisites:

  • Create an ITAR folder using Assured Workloads and deploy your ITAR workloads only in that folder.
  • Only enable and use in-scope ITAR services for ITAR workloads.
  • Don't change the default organization policy constraint values unless you understand and are willing to accept the data residency risks that might occur.
  • When accessing the Google Cloud console for ITAR workloads, you must use one of the following Jurisdictional Google Cloud console URLs:
  • When connecting to Google Cloud service endpoints, you must use regional endpoints for services that offer them. In addition:
    • When connecting to Google Cloud service endpoints from non-Google Cloud VMs —such as on-premises or other cloud providers' VMs— you must use one of the available private access options that support connections to non-Google Cloud VMs to route the non-Google Cloud traffic into Google Cloud.
    • When connecting to Google Cloud service endpoints from Google Cloud VMs, you can use any of the available private access options .
    • When connecting to Google Cloud VMs that have been exposed with external IP addresses, refer to Access APIs from VMs with external IP addresses .
  • For all services used in an ITAR folder, don't store technical data in the following user-defined or security configuration information types:
    • Error messages
    • Console output
    • Attribute data
    • Service configuration data
    • Network packet headers
    • Resource identifiers
    • Data labels
  • Use only the specified regional endpoints for services that offer them. For more information, see in-scope ITAR services .
  • Consider adopting the general security best practices provided in the Google Cloud security best practices center .

Supported products and API endpoints

Unless otherwise noted, users can access all supported products through the Google Cloud console. Restrictions or limitations that affect the features of a supported product, including those that are enforced through organization policy constraint settings , are listed in the following table.

If a product is not listed, that product is unsupported and has not met the control requirements for ITAR. Unsupported products are not recommended for use without due diligence and a thorough understanding of your responsibilities in the shared responsibility model . Before using an unsupported product, ensure that you are aware of and are willing to accept any associated risks involved, such as negative impacts to data residency or data sovereignty.

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 ITAR 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 ITAR control package, you must use 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
  • 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.restrictCmekCryptoKeyProjects
Set to under:organizations/your-organization-name , which is your Assured Workloads organization. You can further restrict this value by specifying a project or folder.

Limits the scope of approved folders or projects that can provide Cloud KMS keys for encrypting at-rest data using CMEK. This constraint prevents unapproved folders or projects from providing encryption keys, thus helping to guarantee data sovereignty for in-scope services' at-rest data.
gcp.restrictNonCmekServices
Set to a list of all in-scope API service names , including:
  • bigquery.googleapis.com
  • compute.googleapis.com
  • container.googleapis.com
  • storage.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.

Google Cloud Armor

Affected Google Cloud Armor features

Feature Description
Globally scoped security policies This feature is disabled by the compute.disableGlobalCloudArmorPolicy organization policy constraint.

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.

Regions
BigQuery is ITAR-compliant for all BigQuery US regions except the US multi-region. ITAR compliance cannot be guaranteed if a dataset is created in a US multi-region, non-US region, or non-US multi-region. It is your responsibility to specify an ITAR-compliant region when creating BigQuery datasets.
Queries on ITAR datasets from non-ITAR projects
BigQuery does not prevent ITAR datasets from being queried from non-ITAR projects. You should ensure that any query that uses a read or a join operation on ITAR technical data be placed in an ITAR-compliant folder.
Connections to external data sources
Google's compliance responsibility is limited to the BigQuery Connection API capability. It is your responsibility to ensure the compliance of the source products that are used with the BigQuery Connection API.
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 ITAR 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
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.
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.
Google Cloud console
The following Compute Engine features are not available in the Google Cloud console. Use the API or Google Cloud CLI instead:

You cannot use Bare Metal Solution VMs (o2 VMs) because Bare Metal Solution VMs are not compliant with ITAR.

You cannot use Google Cloud VMware Engine VMs, as Google Cloud VMware Engine VMs are not compliant with ITAR.

This feature is disabled.

You cannot use persistent disks or their snapshots unless they have been encrypted using CMEK.

You cannot create nested VMs or VMs that use nested virtualization.

This feature is disabled by the compute.disableNestedVirtualization organization policy constraint.
You cannot add an instance group to a global load balancer.

This feature is disabled by the compute.disableGlobalLoadBalancing organization policy constraint.
You cannot route requests to a multi-region external HTTPS load balancer.

This feature is disabled by the compute.restrictLoadBalancerCreationForTypes organization policy constraint.
You cannot share an SSD persistent disk in multi-writer mode between VM instances.
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 be encrypted using CMEK.

This feature is disabled by the gcp.restrictNonCmekServices organization policy constraint.
This feature is disabled.

You will be unable to create an instance with Local SSDs because they cannot be encrypted using CMEK.

This feature is disabled by the gcp.restrictNonCmekServices organization policy constraint.
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.

Cloud Storage

Affected Cloud Storage features

Feature
Description
Google Cloud console
To maintain ITAR compliance, it is your responsibility to use the Jurisdictional Google Cloud console . The Jurisdictional console prevents uploading and downloading Cloud Storage objects. To upload and download Cloud Storage objects, see the Compliant API endpoints row in this section.
Compliant API endpoints
You must use one of the ITAR-compliant regional endpoints with Cloud Storage. See Cloud Storage regional endpoints and Cloud Storage locations for more information.
Restrictions
You must use Cloud Storage regional endpoints to be ITAR-compliant. For more information about Cloud Storage regional endpoints for ITAR, see Cloud Storage regional endpoints .

The following operations are not supported by regional endpoints. However, these operations don't carry Customer Data as defined in the data residency service terms . Therefore, you can use global endpoints for these operations as necessary without violating ITAR compliance:
Copy and rewrite for objects
Copy and rewrite operations for objects are supported by regional endpoints if both the source and destination buckets are located in the region specified in the endpoint. However, you cannot use regional endpoints to copy or rewrite an object from one bucket to another if the buckets exist in different locations. It is possible to use global endpoints to copy or rewrite across locations, but we don't recommend it as it and may violate ITAR compliance.
