Your organization's record data exists in Cloud Storage. You must retain all record data for at least seven years. This policy must be permanent. What should you do?

Question

Options

• A
  1. Identify buckets with record data.
• B
  1. Identify buckets with record data.
• C
  1. Identify buckets with record data.
• D
  1. Identify buckets with record data.

• A
  8% (3)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  18% (7)
• D
  72% (28)

Explanation

Although all four choices begin with 'Identify buckets with record data,' the distinguishing factor is the subsequent steps. The correct approach for a permanent, minimum 7-year retention policy in Cloud Storage is to set a retention policy on the bucket AND lock it using the Bucket Lock feature. Once a retention policy is locked, it cannot be reduced, removed, or overridden - making it permanent and compliant with regulations requiring immutable data retention. The other options (A, B, C) likely describe approaches that either do not lock the policy, use incorrect retention durations, or rely on mechanisms that can be reversed. Bucket Lock is the only way to make a retention policy permanent and legally enforceable.
