Unlocking the Business Case for Cloud Security with Google Cloud and Deloitte
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, cloud security isn't just a technical necessity — it's a business imperative. Recent trends show a significant rise in threats targeting cloud environments, from SaaS platforms to cloud-based storage services. As organisations strive to balance security, compliance, and budget constraints, many find themselves stuck between enabling robust security measures and managing costs effectively.
Why Cloud Security Matters Now
- Growing Threat Landscape: Increased global tensions and advancements in attack techniques have expanded the threat surface.
- Regulatory Pressures: Emerging standards like the EU AI Act and DORA are pushing organisations to enhance their cloud security posture.
- Operational Demands: As businesses accelerate their digital transformation, security teams face the challenge of securing faster feature releases under tight budgets.

By focusing on threat modeling, risk rationalisation, and strategic security investments, we guide organisations to make informed design decisions that not only mitigate risks but also support long-term business growth.
Example project
Recently, we worked with a European client that was already started their Google Cloud transformation journey. By running detailed threat models and mapping out mitigating measures, we helped the organisation identify key security investments that would address the most pressing threats. Using Google Cloud's Security Command Center Premium (SCCP), the project articulated a clear ROI and reduced their risk exposure—achieving secure cloud consumption while aligning with their business objectives.
