Disabling Unused Service Account

Summary

We have detected potentially unused GCP service accounts across GCP projects under traveloka.com organization. Due to security reasons, we will audit those service account and disabling it upon being verified unused.

Motivation

Currently we have 1000+ GCP service accounts, and about 500+ of them are potentially unused. That's about 50% utilisation, and that's not a good figure. For security purpose, we'd like to remove unused GCP service accounts to strengthen our security and governance.

Who is this for

Everybody who uses GCP projects in traveloka.com organization.

Impact to Users

All GCP projects will be audited for unused service accounts. List of number of potentially unused service accounts per GCP project is listed in this sheet.

What you need to do

You don't need to do anything. However, if you felt any disruption to your GCP service, especially regarding permission denied due to service account deactivation, please notify data-cde to make remediation action as soon as possible (reactivation of the service account used by the impacted service)

Timeline

We will carry out this deactivation from today (17 Nov 2021) onwards
