Google Cloud Identity is an Identity-as-a-Service solution from Google that lets organisations centrally manage users and groups. It supports federation with other identity providers such as Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, managing accounts per user and group for a domain, including accounts that would otherwise remain unmanaged, and access control for Google Cloud resources through IAM. APIs are available for identity, groups and devices. It is delivered as SaaS, also without Google Workspace.
Cloud Identity is provided by Google, a US vendor. Google's Cloud Data Processing Addendum applies, under which Google acts as a processor and which sets out GDPR definitions and obligations. Google documents no product-specific data location for Cloud Identity; for Workspace, Google offers a data region setting for the US or the EU, depending on the edition. Because identities govern access to almost every other service, the provider's US jurisdiction is a relevant consideration for European organisations.
