GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question

A healthcare insurer has more than 100 Google Cloud projects organized under a single organization node. To comply with regulations, it must retain all Admin Activity and Data Access audit logs for seven years and keep them readily searchable for incident investigations. The default Cloud Logging retention periods are insufficient, and the security team wants the simplest solution to meet the requirement with minimal ongoing maintenance. What should they do?

  • Create a single aggregated Log Router sink at the organization level that routes all Cloud Audit Logs to a time-partitioned BigQuery dataset in a dedicated compliance project, and set the dataset's partition expiration to seven years.

  • Enable Admin Activity and Data Access logs in each project and export them to Pub/Sub, then run a Dataflow pipeline that writes the logs into Cloud SQL tables with a seven-year TTL.

  • Configure one aggregated sink exporting only Admin Activity logs to Cloud Storage with a lifecycle rule that deletes objects after seven years; query the data using BigQuery's federated external tables when required.

  • Extend the retention period of Cloud Logging in every project to seven years and rely on Log Explorer for querying when needed.
