Security Command Centre Premium Tier's price

[camelmasa]

Hi,

We'll enable SCC premium tier plan. But I'm worried about the increased costs.
If We end up paying more than I expected, can we revert to the standard plan even after only a few days of use?

Thanks,

Hi @camelmasa 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:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to Security Command Center:

   Go to Security Command Center

2. Select the organization or project that you need to check.

3. 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.

4. On the Security Command Center Overview page for the organization or project, select Settings.

5. On the Settings page, select the Tier detail tab.

6. 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.

   • Add-ons: Shows any Security Command Center add-ons that have been granted through subscriptions to other Google Cloud products. These add-ons automatically grant access to a limited number of relevant Premium tier services and detection modules.
