GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question

Your organization syncs Active Directory users and groups to Cloud Identity with GCDS every 4 hours. After an employee is terminated, their AD account is disabled immediately, yet they can still sign in to the Google Cloud Console until the next GCDS run, which violates policy. You must redesign the identity architecture so that a disabled AD account loses Google access within minutes, while still automating provisioning and avoiding major changes to the AD schema. What should you do?

  • Have HR export disabled users to a CSV file and run a scheduled script that calls the Cloud Identity Directory API to suspend the accounts.

  • Configure Cloud Identity for SAML single sign-on that uses AD FS as the identity provider, and keep GCDS only for periodic account provisioning.

  • Increase the GCDS job frequency to every 5 minutes and change its deletion handling rules to suspend users instead of deleting them.

  • Replace GCDS with a SCIM 2.0 connector that pushes updates from AD directly to Cloud Identity in real time.
