Google Cloud Security in Cambridge
Securing Google Cloud for Cambridge organisations, where organisation policy constraints do work that permissions alone cannot. IAM decides who may act; constraints decide what is permissible at all — so blocking public addresses, external key creation and sharing outside your domain holds regardless of what any project owner later grants.
Why this comes up
The problem
A project owner made a storage bucket public, and nothing in the organisation prevented it.
What you get
What we deliver
- Organisation policy constraints applied so the risky configurations are unavailable
- Domain-restricted sharing enforced to prevent access being granted outside the organisation
- Default service accounts replaced, since these carry broad project permissions
- Service account keys eliminated in favour of workload identity where possible
- Roles narrowed using recommendations based on actual usage
- Audit logs exported somewhere the projects they describe cannot alter

East of England
Cambridge has the densest deep-tech and biotech cluster in the country, so briefs here are frequently technical from the first conversation and the interesting problems are rarely the obvious ones.
Deep-tech and biotech clients bring genuinely technical briefs, often involving data pipelines, instrumentation or research tooling.

Google Cloud Security in Cambridge — common questions
- How do constraints differ from permissions?
- Permissions say who may do something; constraints say whether it can be done at all. A project owner with full rights still cannot make a bucket public if the organisation forbids it — which removes an entire category of accident rather than trusting everyone to avoid it.
- What is wrong with default service accounts?
- They are broadly permissioned and attached automatically. A virtual machine using the default Compute Engine service account frequently has far more access to the project than the workload needs, so anything compromised on that machine inherits it.
- Can we avoid service account keys entirely?
- In most cases now, yes. Workload identity lets services in Google Cloud and increasingly outside it authenticate without a downloadable key, which removes the credential that gets committed to repositories and lives forever afterwards.
- Why export the audit logs?
- So they survive the project. Logs held only where they are generated can be altered or lost along with whatever went wrong, and exporting them to a separate destination is what preserves the record that lets you establish what actually happened.
- Do you work with businesses across Cambridgeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Cambridge and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cambridge businesses do you usually work with?
- Deep-tech and biotech clients bring genuinely technical briefs, often involving data pipelines, instrumentation or research tooling. Beyond that we work across Technology, Life Sciences, Research, Higher Education and Biotech.
- Do you cover the areas around Cambridge?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Norwich, Milton Keynes, London, Northampton. Cambridge is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cambridgeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
