Minutes 37 – 45 → Digital Transformation & Shared Responsibility Model

Digital Transformation

• Using tech to rethink business processes, not just move servers.
• Focus on data-driven decision-making, agility, automation.

Shared Responsibility Model

• Google: Physical security, networking, compute, hypervisor, infrastructure uptime.
• Customer: Data integrity, user access, application security, configuration.
• Compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA) validate provider’s part.

Analogy

Google = landlord maintaining the building

Customer = tenant responsible for what happens inside the apartment

Exam Tip

“Who handles encryption keys?” → Both share responsibility depending on key management choice (Google-managed vs Customer-managed keys).
