1.2 Ensure That Multi-Factor Authentication is Enabled for All Non-Service Accounts (Manual)

Profile Applicability

  • Level 1

Description

Setup multi-factor authentication for Google Cloud Platform accounts.

Rationale

Multi-factor authentication requires more than one mechanism to authenticate a user. This secures user logins from attackers exploiting stolen or weak credentials.

Impact

None documented.

Audit Procedure

From Google Cloud Console

For each Google Cloud Platform project, folder, or organization:

  1. Identify non-service accounts.
  2. Manually verify that multi-factor authentication for each account is set.

Expected Result

All non-service accounts should have multi-factor authentication enabled.

Remediation

From Google Cloud Console

For each Google Cloud Platform project:

  1. Identify non-service accounts.
  2. Setup multi-factor authentication for each account.

Default Value

By default, multi-factor authentication is not set.
