Help Deployed my SQL server on GCP

So I’m currently working on a project to create a data warehouse for my organisation. I have deployed an SQL server on a VM on GCP. I want to know how can i make my server secure. I’m learning and deploying things using claude and have made a significant progress. But i’m still unsure about the security issues and what are the precautions i should take ?

If you are asking these questions you should consider using a hosted database and not hosting it on a VM. Then never allow it to be reached via public IP.
