Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer — Question 305

You are a consultant for an organization that is considering migrating their data from its private cloud to Google Cloud. The organization's compliance team is not familiar with Google Cloud and needs guidance on how compliance requirements will be met on Google Cloud. One specific compliance requirement is for customer data at rest to reside within specific geographic boundaries. Which option should you recommend for the organization to meet their data residency requirements on Google Cloud?

Answer options

• A. Organization Policy Service constraints
• B. Shielded VM instances
• C. Access control lists
• D. Geolocation access controls
• E. Google Cloud Armor

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as Organization Policy Service constraints allow for the enforcement of specific governance policies, including data residency requirements, ensuring that data remains within designated geographic areas. The other options do not specifically address the compliance requirement for data residency, with options like Shielded VM instances and Google Cloud Armor focusing on security rather than geographic data placement.
