Secure your Google Cloud with Astra Cloud Vulnerability Scanner

Connect Astra in minutes and get continuous visibility into misconfigurations, IAM risks, and compliance gaps across GCP, all from one dashboard.

Why this  integration matters ?

Your GCP projects evolve fast; new buckets, service accounts, BigQuery datasets, and IAM roles spin up daily. Without deep, continuous scanning, hidden risks accumulate. With Astra’s GCP integration, you gain cloud-native coverage that keeps pace with your environment.

Benefits:

Agentless, read-only GCP connection, get started in minutes.

Dedicated GCP rule-set, detect storage, IAM, network, and compute misconfigs.

Unified dashboard, view GCP alongside AWS & Azure for complete multi-cloud clarity.

Key features of integrating GCP with Astra Cloud Scanner

Built-for-GCP scanning: thousands of GCP resource types (Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, IAM roles, BigQuery, Pub/Sub) are automatically discovered and assessed.

Hundreds of cloud-specific rules: detect exposures like over-permissive service accounts, unsecured Cloud Storage buckets, or broad-scope IAM roles.

Continuous discovery & monitoring: As new GCP resources are added, Astra automatically rescans, keeping your risk view up to date.

Guided remediation: for each issue, get context-rich fix steps and see your security grade rise once corrected.

Transparent pricing: connect GCP accounts with no agent burden and predictable pricing designed for modern teams.

How it works ?

Grant read-only access to your GCP project(s) — via service account or OAuth link.

Connect your GCP account in Astra — select projects or folders you wish to scan.

Astra discovers resources — including storage buckets, IAM roles, compute instances, and databases.

Scanning begins automatically — misconfigurations and vulnerabilities are identified and prioritized.

Use the dashboard to fix and validate — apply remediation, and watch Astra upgrade your cloud security grade live.

Stay audit-ready — export findings, map to compliance frameworks (CIS, ISO, SOC2), and show proof of security.

Supported GCP services & rule coverage

Covering key GCP services, including:

Cloud Storage (Buckets & Blobs)

IAM & Service Accounts

Compute Engine (VMs)

Cloud Functions & App Engine

Virtual Networks & Firewall rules

Pub/Sub & Cloud Logging

Security & compliance highlights

Agentless setup ensures zero performance impact on your production environment.

All data access is read-only; your cloud data remains inside GCP.

Findings are mapped to compliance frameworks, making audits simpler and faster.

Built on Astra’s Offensive Security Engine — the same foundation that powers our PTaaS and API Security suite.

Pricing & cost considerations

Connect your GCP projects with no hidden fees or surprise costs.

Unlike legacy CSPMs, we don’t charge per resource or per scan. Your pricing remains predictable, even as your cloud scales.

Our full-feature $7 trial gives you 7 days of visibility into scanning across your GCP environment.

Do I need to install agents in my GCP project?

No. Astra uses read-only APIs and requires no agents or performance impact.

Can I connect multiple GCP projects or folders?

Yes, you may add multiple projects, folders, or organizations from a single interface.

How often does Astra re-scan GCP resources?

Scanning is continuous; every time a new resource is created or modified, Astra evaluates it.

What kind of export or report is available?

You can export findings, remediation steps, and proof of fix for audit or compliance review.
