I mean it's all encrypted, right? Most cloud providers even allow you to specify your own encryption keys. Sure, the NRO isn't going to start uploading all their sat imagery to a gcp bucket, but I'd imagine it's fine for everything that's not classified.

Much better quality than asking some Gen Dynamics contractor to manage everything for you.
