In this lab, learners will build a secure environment in Google Cloud to process sensitive data while ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Participants will create a multi-tier application using Compute Engine and secure data storage with Cloud Storage, configuring robust access controls and encryption using Cloud KMS. The lab will guide students through setting up organization policies and configuring IAM roles to uphold security and compliance standards. This experience will bolster understanding of designing secure architectures in a controlled environment where sensitive operations require validation.
