InsightCloudSec includes support for GCP Directory to harvest and display expanded IAM data via GCP's Domain-wide Delegation functionality. By enabling Domain-wide Delegation in the GCP Console and configuring the service account ID email within InsightCloudSec, you can gain access to additional data from GCP including MFA Status, Group associations, last login, etc., for two existing InsightCloudSec resource types:

Scopes that are included with this data are as follows:
