Google Workspace MFA Enforcement Disabled For Organization

Detects when an administrator disables multi-factor authentication enforcement or removes the ability for users to enroll in 2-step verification across a Google Workspace organization or organizational unit. Adversaries with administrative access may weaken tenant-wide authentication requirements to enable password-only sign-ins, facilitate credential abuse at scale, and reduce friction for follow-on account takeover across the domain.
