Description

It is recommended that Cloud Audit Logging is configured to track all admin activities and read or write access to user data.

Default value

Admin Activity logs are always enabled. They cannot be disabled. Data Access audit logs are disabled by default because they can be quite large.

Rationale

Cloud Audit Logging maintains two audit logs for each project, folder, and organization: Admin Activity and Data Access.

Admin Activity logs contain log entries for API calls or other administrative actions that modify the configuration or metadata of resources. Admin Activity audit logs are enabled for all services and cannot be configured.

Data Access audit logs record API calls that create, modify, or read user-provided data. These are disabled by default and should be enabled.

There are three kinds of Data Access audit log information:

Admin read: Records operations that read metadata or configuration information. Admin Activity audit logs record writes of metadata and configuration information. This cannot be disabled.
Data read: Records operations that read user-provided data.
Data write: Records operations that write user-provided data.

It is recommended to configure audit logging such that:

Log type is set to DATA_READ (to log user activity tracking) and DATA_WRITES (to log changes/tampering to user data).
Audit config is enabled for all the services supported by the Data Access audit logs feature.
Logs are captured for all users—that is, there are no exempted users in any of the audit config sections. This ensures overriding the audit config does not contradict the requirement.

Impact

There is no charge for Admin Activity audit logs. Enabling the Data Access audit logs might result in your project being charged for the additional logs usage.

Note: Admin Activity Logs are not listed here, as they are enabled by default and cannot be disabled. exemptedMembers is not set, as audit logging should be enabled for all users.

Remediation

From the console

Go to the Audit Logs page in Google Cloud Console.
Follow the steps in Google’s Configure Data Access audit logs documentation to enable audit logs for all Google Cloud services. Ensure that no exemptions are allowed.

From the command line

To read the project’s IAM policy and store it in a file, run the following command:
```
gcloud projects get-iam-policy PROJECT_ID > /tmp/project_policy.yaml
```

Alternatively, the policy can be set at the organization or folder level. If you are setting the policy at the organization level, it is not necessary to also set it for each folder or project.

gcloud organizations get-iam-policy ORGANIZATION_ID > /tmp/org_policy.yaml
gcloud resource-manager folders get-iam-policy FOLDER_ID >
/tmp/folder_policy.yaml

Edit the policy in /tmp/policy.yaml. Adding or change only the audit logs configuration to:

auditConfigs:
 - auditLogConfigs:
  - logType: DATA_WRITE
  - logType: DATA_READ
 - service: allServices

To write new IAM policy, run the following commands:

gcloud organizations set-iam-policy ORGANIZATION_ID /tmp/org_policy.yaml
gcloud resource-manager folders set-iam-policy FOLDER_ID
/tmp/folder_policy.yaml
gcloud projects set-iam-policy PROJECT_ID /tmp/project_policy.yaml

If the preceding command reports a conflict with another change, then repeat these steps, starting with the first step.

Additional information

To track detailed user activities, the log type DATA_READ is as important as the log type DATA_WRITE.
BigQuery Data Access logs are handled differently than other data access logs. BigQuery logs are enabled by default and cannot be disabled. They do not count against logs allotment and do not result in extra logs charges.
