ASSOCIATE-GOOGLE-WORKSPACE-ADMINISTRATOR Question #54: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

The human resources department notified you of a legal investigation that was started for an employee in the finance department. You need to ensure that this employee's Google Drive data is preserved for at least one year and does not get deleted by the user or by other means. The Google Vault default retention rules for Drive are set for five years. What should you do?

Options

• AChange the Vault default retention rule to one year instead of five.
• BPlace the employee into a separate organizational unit (OU). Create a custom one-year retention
• CCreate a hold in Vault for the employee's Drive.
• DConfirm that the Vault default retention rule is set for five years.

Explanation

When there's a legal investigation, the priority is to ensure that relevant data is preserved and not deleted, regardless of retention policies or user actions. A "hold" (also known as a litigation hold or legal hold) in Google Vault is specifically designed for this purpose. It overrides all retention rules (both default and custom) and prevents any data covered by the hold from being purged, even if a user attempts to delete it.
