Descriptionโ€‹

Setup Security Key Enforcement for Google Cloud Platform admin accounts.

Rationaleโ€‹

Google Cloud Platform users with Organization Administrator roles have the highest level of privilege in the organization. These accounts should be protected with the strongest form of two-factor authentication: Security Key Enforcement. Ensure that admins use Security Keys to log in instead of weaker second factors like SMS or one-time passwords (OTP). Security Keys are actual physical keys used to access Google Organization Administrator Accounts. They send an encrypted signature rather than a code, ensuring that logins cannot be phished.

Impactโ€‹

If an organization administrator loses access to their security key, the user could lose access to their account. For this reason, it is important to set up backup security keys.

Auditโ€‹

  1. Identify users with Organization Administrator privileges:

    gcloud organizations get-iam-policy ORGANIZATION_ID

Look for members granted the role roles/resourcemanager.organizationAdmin.
