Assured Workloads pricing

This page explains Assured Workloads pricing details.

Assured Workloads offers a Free service tier and a Premium service tier. These tiers are based on the control package you've chosen for your Assured Workloads folder. See the Free tier and Premium tier sections for more information.

Only the Premium service tier incurs additional charges. These charges range from 5% to 20% on all Google Cloud service usage expenditure within that folder. These charges appear in your bill under the Assured Workloads SKU, which is a separate line item from other Google Cloud resources charges. See the Folder-based pricing and example section for more information, and the Premium tier section below to see the additional charges for each control package.

Get started

Complete the following steps to get started:

Sign up for a 60-day trial of Assured Workloads Premium tier compliance offerings, during which time you will not be charged an additional 20% for Assured Workloads usage.
Use our quickstart guide (PDF) to learn how to use Assured Workloads to meet your compliance and regulatory workload needs.

Folder-based pricing calculation and example

Assured Workloads pricing is calculated based on the billable Google Cloud usage running within the Assured Workloads folder. To calculate the amount you pay for Assured Workloads, add up the total Google Cloud services expenditure within the folder and multiply that number by 20% for Premium tier control packages.

For example, assume that you have previously configured the following two Assured Workloads folders:

One FedRAMP Moderate folder (Free tier) with a monthly service expenditure of $500 across Compute Engine and BigQuery.
One IL4 folder (Premium tier) with a monthly service spend of $1,500 across Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, and Pub/Sub.

Based on the preceding Google Cloud usage and expenditure, the monthly charge for Assured Workloads usage would be calculated as follows:

FedRAMP Moderate folder (Free tier): $0
IL4 folder (Premium tier): $1,500 x 20% = $300
Total cost for the month: $300

For information about Assured Workloads folders, see Create a new Assured Workloads folder.

Determining which folders are charged

You can view your Assured Workloads folders in the Google API Console under Compliance > Assured Workloads. Each project beneath an Assured Workloads folder incurs the additional charge.

To programmatically determine which Assured Workloads folders will be charged, you can call the ListWorkloads API.

Billing timeline

After the free trial period, you will be automatically charged for any billable deployed resources within each Assured Workloads folder that is configured for a Premium tier control package. You will see the charges on the Billing page within 48 hours.

Invoice SKU

The SKU appears on your invoice as GCP Assured Workloads PAYG Subscription. The underlying SKU is AssurantWorkloadFolderPercentageofSpend (for Premium tier control packages which incur a 20% additional charge) or AssurantWorkloadFolderFivePercentageofSpend (for Premium tier control packages which incur a 5% additional charge). Free tier control packages do not have an associated SKU and do not appear on your invoice.

Support requirements

A support subscription is not required to create Assured Workloads folders. However, to receive support for Assured Workloads from authorized personnel, an Enhanced or Premium Support subscription must be active. You cannot receive support with a Standard Support subscription.

For more information about support tiers, see The Customer Care portfolio and Getting support.
