Explanation
Google Cloud's resource hierarchy flows from Organization → Folders → Projects → Resources. IAM policies and organization policies set at a higher level are inherited by all resources below that level. Applying a policy at the folder level means every project inside that folder automatically inherits it, enabling consistent governance across related projects without having to configure each project individually. This inheritance model makes it efficient to enforce security standards at scale.
