Learn how PointFive integrates with your GCP Environment.

Updated over 3 months ago

At the heart of PointFive's integration is the seamless connection of your accounts. Our scripts offer complete transparency and facilitate effortless integration between PointFive and your organization.

We offer three types of integrations:

  • Cloudshell based integration - this is a script that you run within your CloudShell that takes care of integrating PointFive into your GCP Org.

  • Manual integration - use this option if you prefer to manually create the roles and resources needed for the integration. You will need to follow the details step by step guide. To enable this option please contact [email protected].

  • Terraform - use our TF module to deploy our integration to your GCP org
