This repository contains Terraform configuration modules that allow Google Cloud customers to quickly deploy a secured BigQuery data warehouse, following the Secure a BigQuery data warehouse that stores confidential data guide. The blueprint allows customers to use Google Cloud's core strengths in data analytics, and to overcome typical challenges that include:
- Limited knowledge/experience with best practices for creating, deploying, and operating in Google Cloud.
- Security/risk concerns and restrictions from their internal security, risk, and compliance teams.
- Regulatory and compliance approval from external auditors.
The Terraform configurations in this repository provide customers with an opinionated architecture that incorporates and documents best practices for a performant and scalable design, combined with security by default for control, logging and evidence generation. It can be simply deployed by customers through a Terraform workflow.
When using this blueprint, it is important to understand how you manage separation of duties. We recommend you remove all primitive owner
roles in the projects used as inputs for the Data Warehouse module. The secured data warehouse itself does not need any primitive owner roles for correct operations.
When using this blueprint in the example mode or when using this blueprint to create the new projects with default configurations for the deployment, we automatically remove the owner role as it has too broad access.
However, if you choose to use this blueprint with pre-existing projects in your organization, we will not proactively remove any pre-existing owner role assignments, as we won’t know your intent for or dependency on these role assignments in your pre-existing workloads. The pre-existing presence of these roles does expand the attack and risk surface of the resulting deployment. Therefore, we highly recommend you review your use of owner roles in these pre-existing cases and see if you can eliminate them to improve your resulting security posture. Only you can determine the appropriate trade-off to meet your business requirements.
You can check the current situation of your project with either of the following methods:
- Using Security Health Analytics (SHA), checking the KMS vulnerability findings, for the Detector
KMS_PROJECT_HAS_OWNER
.- You can search for the SHA findings with category
KMS_PROJECT_HAS_OWNER
in the Security Command Center in the Google Cloud Console.
- You can search for the SHA findings with category
- You can also use Cloud Asset Inventory search-all-iam-policies gcloud command doing a Query by role to search for owner of the project.
See the terraform-example-foundation for additional good practices.

Note: There are three inputs related to GCP Locations in the module:
pubsub_resource_location
: is used to define which GCP location will be used to Restrict Pub/Sub resource locations. This policy offers a way to ensure that messages published to a topic are never persisted outside of a Google Cloud regions you specify, regardless of where the publish requests originate. Zones or multi-region locations are not supported.location
: is used to define which GCP region will be used for all other resources created: Cloud Storage buckets, BigQuery datasets, and Cloud KMS key rings. Multi-region locations are supported.trusted_locations
: is a list of locations that are used to set an Organization Policy that restricts the GCP locations that can be used in the projects of the Secured Data Warehouse. Bothpubsub_resource_location
andlocation
must respect this restriction.
