Control: GCP > CIS v5.0 > 3 - Networking > 3.09 - Ensure Private Service Connect is Used for Access to Google APIs

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 2

Ensure that VPCs use Private Service Connect endpoints for access to Google APIs such as Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Artifact Registry, and other googleapis.com services, so that traffic from workloads to these APIs stays on the Google private network instead of traversing the public internet. Private Service Connect for Google APIs creates a dedicated endpoint in your VPC with firewall rule enforcement, providing more granular control than Private Google Access.
