Managed Google Cloud Platform (GCP), architected for security.
Uzado designs, migrates, and runs Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments end to end. Well-architected from day one, cost-optimised, and hardened to the same security baseline as the rest of your estate.
Google Cloud, run by one accountable team
Google Cloud Platform gives you scale on demand, but the default project is neither secure nor cost-aware out of the box. Managing it well means owning the resource hierarchy, the identity layer, and the security posture as one estate.
The default Google Cloud project is open by convenience: broad IAM bindings, exported service-account keys, public defaults, and no spend guardrails. That default is the source of most of the security and cost problems Uzado sees on inherited estates.
Managed Google Cloud from Uzado replaces it with a controlled foundation: a governed resource hierarchy, least-privilege identity, network segmentation, and a monitored security baseline, with an audit trail behind every change. From a single workload to a multi-project estate, one accountable team owns the architecture, the migration, and the day-to-day operations.
A complete managed Google Cloud estate
Organization, folders, and projects with org policies and centralized billing. A governed structure instead of a pile of unrelated projects.
Least-privilege IAM, managed and rotated service accounts, workload identity instead of exported keys, and MFA on every user.
VPC design, Private Google Access, firewall rules, and controlled egress. Public exposure only where it is justified and documented.
Security Command Center, Cloud Audit Logs, and organization-level guardrails enabled and monitored by Uzado's SOC.
Committed use discounts where they fit, rightsizing, and budget alerts. Continuous review so spend tracks usage, not surprises.
Automated, policy-driven backups, region-aware recovery, and restore testing aligned to a documented RPO and RTO.
The DIY project drifts and overspends
Projects multiply. IAM bindings get broadened during a sprint and never tightened. Resources spin up for a test and run for a year. Logging is partial, so an incident is hard to reconstruct. By the time anyone reviews it, the estate looks nothing like a well-architected design.
Managed Google Cloud puts a named owner on the estate. Identity stays least-privilege, org policies stay in place, spend gets reviewed on a cadence, and the audit evidence for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 stops being a fire drill, because the controls run every day.
A five-step engagement model
Review the existing Google Cloud estate against the Google Cloud Architecture Framework and Uzado's security baseline. Surface risk, configuration drift, and cost waste.
Establish the resource hierarchy, org policies, centralized logging, and identity. A controlled foundation before workloads scale.
Migrate existing workloads or build new ones, well-architected from day one, with security and cost controls in place before go-live.
Patching, monitoring, incident response, backup verification, and change control with an audit trail. Named engineers, not a queue.
Quarterly architecture and cost reviews, plus tuning informed by Security Command Center findings.

Common Google Cloud questions
Do you handle Google Cloud migrations?+
Yes. Uzado migrates workloads from on-premise, another cloud, or an unmanaged Google Cloud estate, with a documented runbook, cutover plan, and rollback path. Lift-and-shift or re-platform, scoped to your timeline.
Can you co-manage Google Cloud with our internal team?+
Yes. Co-managed and fully managed models are both supported. In a co-managed model your developers keep their workflow while Uzado owns the resource hierarchy, the security baseline, and change control. The boundaries are documented in a runbook.
How do you keep Google Cloud costs under control?+
Committed use discounts where they fit, rightsizing, budget alerts, and a quarterly cost review. Most inherited estates carry idle resources and oversized instances, and that is the first pass.
How does Google Cloud security feed into compliance?+
Cloud Audit Logs and Security Command Center produce the evidence auditors ask for. Paired with Uzado's Managed GRC, that evidence flows into Vanta and maps to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS controls.
Can you manage a multi-cloud estate?+
Yes. Uzado runs Google Cloud Platform alongside Microsoft 365, Azure, and AWS under one Cloud Management practice, so a mixed estate has a single accountable owner.
