GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question

Your company, a European financial institution, must store transaction logs in Google Cloud Storage and BigQuery. Local regulations mandate that the cryptographic keys used to encrypt the data never leave the bank's on-premises HSM, and auditors require demonstrable separation between data at rest and the encryption keys. Which Google Cloud capability best satisfies these requirements while avoiding custom application-level encryption?

  • Implement client-side envelope encryption in your application and upload pre-encrypted objects.

  • Rely on Google default encryption for both services because keys are always encrypted by Google.

  • Configure Cloud Storage and BigQuery with customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) stored in Cloud KMS.

  • Use Cloud External Key Manager (EKM) to protect the datasets with keys resident in the on-premises HSM.
