Check Creation of Default VPC Network Is Disabled for GCP Projects
Checking if the creation of the default VPC network is disabled at the GCP project level is important for enforcing a secure and customized network architecture. This practice ensures that all projects within the organization use purpose-built VPC networks with specific configurations and security controls, reducing the risk of misconfigurations and enhancing overall network security and compliance with best practices.

Usage
Install Policy Pack
NoteBy default, installed policy packs are not attached to any resources.
Policy packs must be attached to resources in order for their policy settings to take effect.
Clone:
git clone https://github.com/turbot/guardrails-samples.gitcd guardrails-samples/policy_packs/gcp/orgpolicy/check_default_vpc_creation_is_disabled_for_projects
Run the Terraform to create the policy pack in your workspace:
terraform initterraform plan
Then apply the changes:
terraform apply
Apply Policy Pack
Log into your Guardrails workspace and attach the policy pack to a resource.
If this policy pack is attached to a Guardrails folder, its policies will be applied to all accounts and resources in that folder. The policy pack can also be attached to multiple resources.
