Storage bucket encrypt cmks remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the bucket encryption misconfiguration in GCP using GCP CLI, follow these steps:

Open the Google Cloud Console and select the project containing the bucket that needs to be encrypted using a customer-managed key.
Open the Cloud Shell by clicking on the icon in the top right corner of the console.
In the Cloud Shell, run the following command to enable the Cloud KMS API:
```
gcloud services enable cloudkms.googleapis.com
```
Next, create a new customer-managed key (CMK) by running the following command:
```
gcloud kms keyrings create [KEYRING-NAME] --location [LOCATION]
gcloud kms keys create [KEY-NAME] --location [LOCATION] --keyring [KEYRING-NAME] --purpose encryption
```
Replace [KEYRING-NAME] with a name for your keyring, [LOCATION] with the location where you want to create the key, and [KEY-NAME] with a name for your key.
Now, update the bucket to use the newly created CMK by running the following command:
```
gsutil kms set [KEY-NAME] gs://[BUCKET-NAME]
```
Replace [KEY-NAME] with the name of the CMK you created in step 4 and [BUCKET-NAME] with the name of the bucket that needs to be encrypted.
Finally, verify that the bucket is encrypted using the CMK by running the following command:
```
gsutil ls -L -b gs://[BUCKET-NAME]
```
Look for the kms_key_name field in the output to confirm that the bucket is encrypted using the CMK you created.

By following these steps, you can remediate the bucket encryption misconfiguration in GCP using GCP CLI.

Using Python

To remediate this misconfiguration for GCP using Python, you can follow these steps:

Install the google-cloud-storage library using pip.
Authenticate with your GCP account using the following command:

from google.cloud import storage

storage_client = storage.Client()

List all the buckets in your project using the following command:

buckets = list(storage_client.list_buckets())

for bucket in buckets:
    print(bucket.name)

For each bucket, check if it is encrypted using a customer-managed key (CMK) by checking the bucket’s encryption property:

if bucket.encryption_algorithm == "AES256":
    print(f"{bucket.name} is encrypted with default encryption.")
elif bucket.encryption_algorithm == "Google-managed":
    print(f"{bucket.name} is encrypted with Google-managed encryption.")
elif bucket.encryption_algorithm == "CUSTOMER_MANAGED_ENCRYPTION":
    print(f"{bucket.name} is encrypted with customer-managed encryption.")

If the bucket is not encrypted with a customer-managed key, create a new key using the following command:

key_name = "my-cmk"
location = "us-central1"
key_ring_name = "my-keyring"

kms_client = storage_client._credentials.create_scoped(
    ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloudkms"]
)

kms_client = googleapiclient.discovery.build("cloudkms", "v1", credentials=kms_client)

parent = f"projects/{project_id}/locations/{location}/keyRings/{key_ring_name}"

response = kms_client.create_crypto_key(
    parent=parent,
    cryptoKeyId=key_name,
    cryptoKey={
        "purpose": "ENCRYPT_DECRYPT",
        "nextRotationTime": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    },
)

Note: Replace my-cmk, us-central1, and my-keyring with your own values.

Enable encryption with the new CMK for the bucket using the following command:

bucket.default_event_based_hold = True
bucket.patch()

bucket.reload()

bucket.encryption_algorithm = "CUSTOMER_MANAGED_ENCRYPTION"
bucket.default_kms_key_name = f"projects/{project_id}/locations/{location}/keyRings/{key_ring_name}/cryptoKeys/{key_name}"
bucket.patch()

Verify that the bucket is now encrypted with a customer-managed key:

if bucket.encryption_algorithm == "CUSTOMER_MANAGED_ENCRYPTION":
    print(f"{bucket.name} is now encrypted with customer-managed encryption.")
else:
    print(f"{bucket.name} encryption is still not customer-managed.")

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of GCP buckets not being encrypted with customer-managed keys.
