GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question
A healthcare provider has enabled Access Transparency (AT) and configured an aggregated log sink that exports all audit logs from its organization to BigQuery for long-term compliance reporting. During an internal audit, the security team is asked to prove that a recent read of a Cloud Storage object by Google support personnel was tied to a valid support ticket. Which BigQuery column should the team query to retrieve the business justification that Google attached to the privileged access event?
Access Transparency log entries are delivered under the special Cloud Audit Logs name cloudaudit.googleapis.com/access_transparency. Each AT record includes a justification string supplied by Google personnel explaining why access was required-typically a support-case ID. In the log entry, this text is stored in the protoPayload.metadata field under the key "justification." The other fields listed appear in various audit log types (principalEmail in authenticationInfo, httpRequest for HTTP-based events, and serviceData.policyDelta for IAM changes) but none contain the justification text that auditors need.
