Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 267

An organization has migrated several large databases to the cloud. It wants to increase the value of its data, improve cost controls and strengthen regulatory compliance. What should the organization do?

Answer options

• A. Delete data stored for over a year.
• B. Export relational data to modern NoSQL databases.
• C. Create monthly reports on data access and uses.
• D. Establish an effective data governance program.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Establishing an effective data governance program ensures that data management practices comply with regulations and optimize data usage, which aligns with the company's goals. Deleting data may result in the loss of valuable information, exporting to NoSQL databases may not directly address compliance and value, and while monthly reports can be useful, they do not inherently strengthen governance or compliance.
