Google Workspace Associate Administrator — Question 54

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?

Answer options

• A. Create a hold in Vault for the employee's Drive.
• B. Place the employee into a separate organizational unit (OU). Create a custom one-year retention rule for this OU.
• C. Change the Vault default retention rule to one year instead of five.
• D. Confirm that the Vault default retention rule is set for five years.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Creating a hold in Vault for the employee's Drive ensures that their data is preserved and protected from deletion, fulfilling the legal investigation requirements. Placing the employee in a separate OU with a custom retention rule would not necessarily apply to existing data, and changing the default retention rule or confirming it does not meet the one-year requirement needed for this situation.
