Google Workspace Professional Administrator — Question 114

An employee has been leaking confidential salary information to an external party. You must use Vault to preserve the messages for an investigation. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create a matter and add a hold on the employee's email.
• B. Use the security investigation tool to find the messages. Create a hold to preserve the messages.
• C. Create a custom retention policy. Use the audit feature to view captured email logs.
• D. Use the search and export features to find all the messages sent externally.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating a matter and placing a hold on the employee's email ensures that all relevant communications are preserved for the investigation. Option B suggests using a tool to find messages, but it does not guarantee preservation. Option C focuses on retention policies and audit logs, which may not directly secure the messages needed for the immediate investigation. Option D involves searching and exporting, which does not ensure that the messages are held for review.
