Important piece of the puzzle (as of April 2017): Google Cloud Platform encrypts customer content stored at rest, without any action from the customer, using one or more encryption mechanisms, with the following exceptions. - Serial console logs from virtual machines in Google Compute Engine; this is currently being remediated - Core dumps written to local drives, when a process fails unexpectedly; this is currently being remediated - Debugging logs written to local disk; this is currently being remediated - Temporary files used by storage systems; this is currently being remediated - Some logs that may include customer content as well as customer metadata; this is planned for remediation This data is still protected extensively by the rest of Google’s security infrastructure, and in almost all cases still protected by storage-level encryption.
