[Feature] Adapter-specific security advice in docs?

[brabster]

Is this your first time submitting a feature request?

• I have read the expectations for open source contributors
• I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this feature
• I am requesting a straightforward extension of existing dbt-bigquery functionality, rather than a Big Idea better suited to a discussion

Describe the feature

Add a section to BigQuery adapter docs on recommended security practices

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Who will this benefit?

All users of dbt on BigQuery

Are you interested in contributing this feature?

I have written a piece on VPC service controls that might be helpful

Anything else?

Thanks @brabster!

Are you imagining that this section would live in the docs on "BigQuery configurations"? https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/resource-configs/bigquery-configs

[brabster]

Hi yes, I think that's where users of the adapter are likely to go, so that's probably where I would put it.

Sounds good I'm going to transfer this issue over to the docs repository, since that's where the changes would need to happen. You're welcome to open a PR against that repo proposing the new section.
