Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer — Question 10

You are working on a sensitive project involving private user data. You have set up a project on Google Cloud Platform to house your work internally. An external consultant is going to assist with coding a complex transformation in a Google Cloud Dataflow pipeline for your project. How should you maintain users' privacy?

Answer options

• A. Grant the consultant the Viewer role on the project.
• B. Grant the consultant the Cloud Dataflow Developer role on the project.
• C. Create a service account and allow the consultant to log on with it.
• D. Create an anonymized sample of the data for the consultant to work with in a different project.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because creating an anonymized sample of the data ensures that no private user information is exposed to the consultant, thereby maintaining privacy. Options A and B grant unnecessary access to project resources, and option C would still allow the consultant access to sensitive data, which does not safeguard user privacy.
