GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question
Your BigQuery table has patient_id, full_name, admission_date, diagnosis_code, and billing_amount. Analysts need the data, but policy says: expose only the first character of full_name; shift admission_date by up to ±30 days, consistently for rows sharing the same patient_id; and keep patient_id in a reversible, format-preserving form so investigators can restore it if needed. Which set of Sensitive Data Protection transformations meets all requirements?
Mask full_name to reveal the first letter, deterministically encrypt admission_date, and bucket patient_id into numeric ranges.
Apply character masking to keep only the first character of full_name, use a ±30-day date-shift keyed on patient_id for admission_date, and encrypt patient_id with format-preserving encryption (CryptoReplaceFfxFpe) using a surrogate infoType.
Redact full_name entirely, apply an unkeyed ±30-day date-shift to admission_date, and hash patient_id with SHA-256.
Replace full_name with a salted SHA-256 hash, date-shift admission_date keyed on patient_id, and mask all but the last four digits of patient_id.
Character masking can reveal the first character of a string while masking the remainder, satisfying the name-disclosure rule. A date-shift transformation with a ±30-day window, combined with a crypto key and the patient_id as the context (entity_id_field), guarantees every row for the same patient is offset by the same amount. Format-preserving encryption (CryptoReplaceFfxFpe) uses AES-FFX to keep the patient_id format and length intact and is reversible when the key is retained, enabling re-identification. The incorrect options either make the data irreversible, fail to preserve consistency across rows, or cannot be reversed for incident response.
