Google Workspace Professional Administrator — Question 112

Your default Vault retention policy for Gmail is set to 365 days. Your legal department has just informed you that emails sent and received by the customer support department are sensitive, and must be retained for only 30 days. You must enforce this new retention policy in the simplest way. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Change the current default retention policy in Vault for Gmail to 30 days, and apply it to the customer support organizational unit (OU). Configure a custom retention policy for Gmail for 365 days for your domain.
• B. Create two custom retention policies in Vault: one for 30 days that is applied to the customer support organizational unit (OU), and one for 365 days that is applied to all other OUs in your directory.
• C. Change the current default retention policy for Gmail to 30 days. Configure two custom retention policies in Vault: one for 30 days that is applied to the customer support organizational unit (OU), and one for 365 days that is applied to all other OUs in your directory.
• D. Create a custom retention policy in Vault for Gmail for 30 days, and apply it to the customer support organizational unit (OU).

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it directly addresses the requirement to enforce a 30-day retention policy specifically for the customer support OU without altering the default settings for other departments. Option A changes the default policy, which could impact other departments, while options B and C involve unnecessary complexity by creating multiple policies when a single policy suffices.
