- Cloud Conformity: Enforce Separation of Duties for KMS-Related Roles
Description

It is recommended that the principle of 'Separation of Duties' is enforced while assigning KMS related roles to users.
Rationale
The built-in/predefined IAM role
Cloud KMS Adminallows the user/identity to create, delete, and manage service account(s). The built-in/predefined IAM roleCloud KMS CryptoKey Encrypter/Decrypterallows the user/identity (with adequate privileges on concerned resources) to encrypt and decrypt data at rest using an encryption key(s).The built-in/predefined IAM role
Cloud KMS CryptoKey Encrypterallows the user/identity (with adequate privileges on concerned resources) to encrypt data at rest using an encryption key(s). The built-in/predefined IAM roleCloud KMS CryptoKey Decrypterallows the user/identity (with adequate privileges on concerned resources) to decrypt data at rest using an encryption key(s).Separation of duties is the concept of ensuring that one individual does not have all necessary permissions to be able to complete a malicious action. In Cloud KMS, this could be an action such as using a key to access and decrypt data a user should not normally have access to. Separation of duties is a business control typically used in larger organizations, meant to help avoid security or privacy incidents and errors. It is considered best practice.
