OWASP A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Low
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The Dataflow job resource is not configured to use a customer-managed encryption key (CMEK), which means data processed by the job relies on default Google-managed encryption. This reduces control over how sensitive data is protected.

Impact

Without a customer-managed key, you cannot control key rotation or revoke access if a compromise occurs. This increases the risk that sensitive data could be exposed or accessed without proper authorization, potentially violating compliance requirements.
