QuestionQ38

Managing data governance and compliance

The human resources department informed you that a legal investigation has begun for an employee in the finance department. You must ensure that this employee's Google Drive data is retained for at least one year and is not deleted by the user or through other means. The Google Vault default retention rules for Drive are configured for five years. What should you do?

  • A Create a hold in Vault for the employee's Drive.
  • B Place the employee into a separate organizational unit (OU). Create a custom one-year retention rule for this OU.
  • C Change the Vault default retention rule to one year instead of five.
  • D Confirm that the Vault default retention rule is set for five years.
Explanation

A Google Vault hold on an individual employee’s Drive preserves the covered data indefinitely and takes precedence over default and custom retention rules. Files deleted by the user remain available in Vault rather than being purged, meeting the legal-preservation requirement for at least one year.
