QuestionQ40

Ingesting and processing the data

You work for a shipping company that uses handheld scanners to scan shipping labels. The company has strict data-privacy standards requiring scanners to transmit only tracking numbers when events are sent to Kafka topics. A recent software update caused the scanners to inadvertently send recipients’ personally identifiable information (PII) to analytics systems, violating user privacy rules. You need to rapidly create a scalable solution with cloud-native managed services to stop PII exposure to the analytics systems. What should you do?

Explanation

Cloud Data Loss Prevention (Sensitive Data Protection) can synchronously inspect event content for configured PII information types and return findings with likelihood levels. A Cloud Function can process Kafka-topic events, forward events containing only permitted tracking data, and quarantine events with detected PII for review before they reach analytics systems.
