You can activate Security Command Center at different tiers: Standard, Premium, or Enterprise. If you select the Standard tier or the Premium tier, you can activate Security Command Center for an entire organization (organization-level activation) or for individual projects (project-level activation). If you select the Enterprise tier, you can activate Security Command Center at the organization level only.
The activation process is different for the different tiers. Also, when you activate Security Command Center at the project level, certain detection modules and service integrations are not available, due to Security Command Center's reduced scope of access.
Overview of organization-level activation Standard, Premium, and Enterprise service tiersActivating Security Command Center at the organization level is considered a best practice because it provides the most complete protection for your business by allowing Security Command Center to access and scan resources and assets across all of the folders and projects in the organization.
With the appropriate IAM permissions, you can activate the Standard tier for an organization yourself by using the Google Cloud console.
To activate the Premium tier for an organization, you use pay-as-you-go pricing. The pay-as-you-go pricing gives you the flexibility to base your Security Command Center charges on usage of Google Cloud services. Your usage is charged to the billing accounts associated with the projects in your organization. With the appropriate IAM permissions, you can activate the Premium tier using the pay-as-you-go option yourself by using the Google Cloud console.
To activate the Enterprise tier for an organization, you must purchase a subscription from Google Cloud sales or your Google Cloud partner.
For more information about the pricing options for the Enterprise tier or the Premium tier, see Pricing.
Activate the Standard or Premium tierFor the Standard and Premium tiers, you use the Google Cloud console to enable and configure Security Command Center. For step-by-step activation instructions, see Activate the Security Command Center Standard or Premium tier for an organization.
If you want to enable data residency, then you must use the jurisdictional Google Cloud console instead. To learn how to access the jurisdictional Google Cloud console, see About the jurisdictional Google Cloud console.
Activate the Enterprise tierFor the Enterprise tier, you use the Google Cloud console to enable and configure Security Command Center.
If you want to enable data residency, then you use the jurisdictional Google Cloud console instead. For step-by-step activation instructions, see Activate the Security Command Center Enterprise tier.
Note: For the Enterprise service tier, before you activate Security Command Center with data residency controls, you must contact your Google Cloud account representative and schedule a date and time when you will activate Security Command Center. After activation, your account representative will help ensure that your Google SecOps instance is configured to fully support data residency controls.If you use the Standard or Premium service tier, then upgrading to the Enterprise tier does not change the location of your Security Command Center data. If you did not enable Security Command Center data residency for the Standard or Premium tier, then you cannot enable it when you upgrade to the Enterprise tier.
Overview of project-level activation Standard and Premium service tiersActivating Security Command Center on an individual project gives you the flexibility to use Security Command Center for only the projects that matter to you most and to base your Security Command Center charges on the resource usage in that project alone.
For a project-level activation, you can activate the Standard or Premium tiers of Security Command Center yourself in the Google Cloud console, as long as you have the appropriate IAM permissions. You don't need to contact Sales first.
With project-level activations, the charges for the Premium tier are based on the usage of certain Google Cloud resources in the project and are billed to the project by using a pay-as-you-go model.
When you activate Security Command Center at the project level, Security Command Center's access to logs, data, and other resources is limited to the project in which it is activated. Consequently, any services that require data from outside of the project are either not available or they cannot produce their full set of findings. For more information about the findings and services that are not available with a project-level activation, see Feature availability with project-level activations.
Data residency is not supported with project-level activations of Security Command Center.
Optimize project-level activations by activating the Standard tier at the organization levelTo optimize project-level activations of the Premium tier, we recommend that you activate the Standard tier of Security Command Center at the organization level.
Activating the Standard tier at the organization level lets you manage multiple project-level activations globally and ensures that any Standard-tier detection modules or service integrations that require organization-level activation are available to the projects.
For more information, see Standard tier features that require an organization-level activation.
When to use project-level activationTypically, you activate Security Command Center for a project in the following scenarios:
The activation type for Security Command Center determines whether Security Command Center is activated at the project level or the organization level, the tier, and the pricing option.
When you open a project in the Google Cloud console, the level at which Security Command Center is activated—the project level or the organization level—is not immediately obvious, because the project could be inheriting the use of Security Command Center from its parent organization.
To determine whether Security Command Center is already activated and to view your current activation type for Security Command Center, complete the following:
In the Google Cloud console, go to Security Command Center:
Select the organization or project that you need to check.
If Security Command Center is active in either the organization or the project, the Security Command Center Overview page displays. If it is not active in either, the Get Security Command Center page displays. For activation instructions, see Activate Security Command Center for an organization or Activate Security Command Center for a project.
Go to the Settings page. Do one of the following:
On the Settings page, select the Tier detail tab.
On the Tier detail tab, determine your activation type by checking the Tier and Billing status rows:
Tier: Shows the tier (Enterprise, Premium, or Standard) for the organization or project. If the organization is set to the Enterprise or Premium tier, all projects inherit the Enterprise or Premium tier automatically and the Google Cloud console displays a banner that describes this inheritance. When the organization is set to the Enterprise or Premium tier, then, at the project level, this setting shows the tier that the project will use if you downgrade the organization's tier to the Standard tier.
Billing row: One of the following:
Active: Indicates that your Premium tier pricing is using the pay-as-you-go option for the organization or project.
Paused: Indicates that the Enterprise or Premium tier is active at the organization level and being inherited by this project.
Expiry date: Indicates that your organization-level activation of Enterprise or Premium tier is using a subscription.
If the billing row isn't shown: Indicates that the Standard tier is active for the organization or project. Projects can inherit the Standard tier from the organization.
Text above the Manage tier button in the Google Cloud console describes what tiers and activation options are available to you.
To find out when Security Command Center was activated, you can use a Cloud Logging query. This query returns results if the activation was completed during the log retention period.
