  impact: |
    Not having Cloud Asset Inventory enabled can prevent the organization from having a managed and insightful view over its cloud resources, potentially leading to mismanagement and security risks.
  remediation: |
    Enable the Google Cloud Asset Inventory by activating the Cloud Asset API in each GCP project through the Google Cloud Console or using the `gcloud services enable cloudasset.googleapis.com --project <project-id>` command.
