Why this exists
Operational systems handle sensitive data and must remain auditable. This initiative codifies privacy rules, access controls, and evidence trails so compliance is enforced by design instead of manual review.
March 2026 Registry Reconciliation
The updated registry materially sharpened this workstream in three places:
- the active Google Group maintenance runner is now separated from the Rust successor tool rather than being blended into one vague control surface;
- the Google Group expansion plus 2SV reporter is now treated as component scope inside the parent MFA enforcement and reporting workflow, with retention and scale questions still called out explicitly;
- the GAM-based cleanup and audit helpers remain useful security tooling, but Atlas now carries their retention, approval, and operator-scope gaps more explicitly.
Measures of success
- Access controls align with least-privilege expectations.
- Audit artifacts are available for sensitive workflows.
- Privacy-sensitive fields are redacted or minimized by default.
- Compliance checks are repeatable and documented.
Active projects
- Google Workspace MFA Enforcement and Reporting
- Google Workspace Group Membership Maintenance Automation
- Workspace Permission Audit Pipeline (GAM)
- Mailbox Restore and Archive Import Utility
Key risks
- Permission drift exposes sensitive data.
- Cleanup and audit tooling lacks a clear retention and approval model.
- Successor tooling is mistaken for the live production runner without a documented cutover decision.
- Compliance workflows depend on helpers that are useful but still underdocumented.
