Industry-first assessment for AI agent safety
✅Excellent Security Features
- ●IAM REST API with extensive resources including folders.locations.policyBindings, organizations.locations.policyBindings, projects.locations.policyBindings with create, delete, get, list, patch, searchTargetPolicyBindings operations. Authorization policies available via gcloud network-security authorization-policies.
- ●Documentation covers 'Token types', 'Multi-factor authentication requirement', 'Reauthentication' under Tokens section, indicating configurable token management.
- ●Extensive service account documentation: 'Authenticate by using service account impersonation', 'Resource with an attached service account', 'Grant data profiling access to a service agent'.
- ●Tokens section explicitly includes 'Multi-factor authentication requirement' as a documented topic under authentication.
- ●Sensitive Data Protection: 'De-identification, masking, tokenization, and bucketing... enables you to transform your data to reduce data risk while retaining data utility. Additionally, you can use insights to apply column-level, fine-grained access, or dynamic masking policies.'
- ●Sensitive Data Protection documentation includes 'Locations', 'Global and regional endpoints for Sensitive Data Protection', 'Sensitive Data Protection locations', 'Specify a processing location'.
- ●IAM policies support granular permissions with get, list operations separate from create, delete, patch, suggesting read-only access patterns possible.
- ●Extensive permission system: 'Best practices for Identity and Access Management', over 50+ distinct operations across folders, organizations, projects with individual create, delete, get, list, patch, searchTargetPolicyBindings, setIamPolicy, testIamPermissions, getIamPolicy operations.
- ●Authorization policies via 'gcloud network-security authorization-policies' and 'Granting and revoking access to the API' with 'Restricting Access with API Keys'.
- ●Comprehensive Cloud Audit Logs: 'Best practices for Cloud Audit Logs', 'Cloud Audit Logs overview' with detailed logging for 'who did what, where, and when' across all services.
⚠️Security Gaps & Recommendations
- ●No training opt out
- ●No documented opt-out mechanism for AI training on customer data
- ●AI request attribution/tagging not purpose-built
- ●GDPR/DPA specific documentation not included in excerpts
