Google Workspace Professional Administrator — Question 121

The compliance team at your organization is conducting a legal investigation into some concerning sales activities of an employee eight months ago. The compliance team contacted you for assistance on the situation. You set up the default Google Vault retention rules so all data is retained only for one year. You must assist the compliance team with the investigation. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Do nothing. The retention period has already ended and the evidence has already been purged.
• B. Suspend the employee and export all data by using Google Takeout.
• C. Assign the compliance team a Google Vault administrator role and create a legal hold for the employee.
• D. Assign the compliance team a Google Vault administrator role and change the default retention rules to three years.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because assigning a Google Vault administrator role and creating a legal hold ensures that all data related to the employee is preserved for the investigation, regardless of the retention policy. Answer A is incorrect since it does not address the need for compliance, while B does not provide a means to retain the necessary data, and D would not help with the current investigation since the legal hold is required instead of just changing retention rules.
