Managing data governance and compliance

The company’s legal department has issued a litigation hold requiring preservation of all data connected to a particular project. You must ensure that all project data—including emails, documents, and chats—is retained indefinitely and cannot be deleted by users. What should you do?

  • A Create a hold in Google Vault that includes all users and data sources associated with the project.
  • B Assign an Archived User license to all users involved in the project.
  • C Set up a retention rule in Google Vault that retains all data from Gmail and Drive indefinitely.
  • D Export all project related data from Google Workspace and store the data in a separate, secure location.
Explanation

Google Vault holds are designed for legal preservation. A hold can be scoped to the relevant custodians and services, including Gmail, Drive, and on-the-record Google Chat, and preserves covered data indefinitely until the hold is removed. Holds override retention rules, so user-deleted covered data remains available in Vault.
