Disks should be encrypted with customer managed encryption keys

Property Value
Language terraform
Severity low
Service compute
Provider Google

Description

Google Compute disks are not encrypted using customer-managed encryption keys, relying instead on default or unmanaged keys. This limits control over key rotation and access management, reducing the overall security of stored data.

Impact

Without customer-managed keys, organizations cannot enforce strict access controls or rotate encryption keys as needed, increasing the risk of unauthorized data access if the default keys are compromised or mismanaged.

Resolution

Use managed keys to encrypt disks.
