GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question

Your security team mandates that every newly created secret be encrypted with a customer-managed key that is protected by Cloud HSM. Secrets will use the automatic (global) replication policy because workloads run world-wide. As a Cloud Security Engineer, what must you do to meet the requirement and keep the secrets usable by applications?

  • Rely on the default Google-managed encryption and enable Secret Manager "HSM protection" at the organization level; no Cloud KMS roles are necessary.

  • Configure Secret Manager to use a Cloud EKM key URI; the external key's geographic location is ignored when the replication policy is global.

  • Create an HSM-backed key in any single region, then reference it when you update existing secrets from Google-managed encryption to CMEK.

  • Create an HSM-backed symmetric key in the global Cloud KMS location and grant the Secret Manager service agent the Cloud KMS CryptoKey Encrypter/Decrypter role on that key before creating each secret.
