Google Workspace Associate Administrator — Question 39

Your company’s legal department has issued a litigation hold that requires you to preserve all data related to a specific project. You need to ensure that all data for this project, including emails, documents, and chats, are preserved indefinitely and cannot be deleted by users. What should you do?

Answer options

• 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.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating a hold in Google Vault ensures that all relevant data, including emails and documents, are preserved as required by the litigation hold. Option B is incorrect as assigning an Archived User license does not guarantee data preservation. Option C is also not the best choice since it does not address the specific project requirement. Option D involves exporting data, which may not meet the legal requirement for indefinite preservation as effectively as a hold in Google Vault.
