GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question

Your team is asked to architect a new EHR analytics platform on Google Cloud. The system will store protected health information (PHI) in Cloud Storage, process it with Dataflow, and query results in BigQuery. Compliance officers insist the project must be HIPAA-compliant from day one. What is the first prerequisite you must fulfill so that Google contractually commits to safeguard PHI for all used services?

  • Restrict all resources to the us-central1 and us-east1 regions to keep data within U.S. boundaries.

  • Enable VPC Service Controls and add all projects in the workflow to a service perimeter that blocks egress to the public internet.

  • Execute Google Cloud's HIPAA Business Associate Addendum (BAA) for the organization or billing account before provisioning any resources.

  • Create customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) in Cloud KMS and configure every service to use them for data-at-rest encryption.
