    Subtask 3.2: Compliance DesignSecurityAudit LoggingCompliance

    GCP PCA · Question 40 · Compliance Design

    Your organization requires strict auditing of all GCP resources. The security team needs to know exactly who modified a firewall rule, and they also need to know which users queried a specific BigQuery dataset containing PII. Which TWO types of Cloud Audit Logs must be enabled or analyzed to gather this information? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    Admin Activity logs

    B.

    System Event logs

    C.

    Data Access logs

    D.

    VPC Flow Logs

    E.

    Policy Denied logs

    How to approach this question

    Distinguish between logs that record configuration changes and logs that record data reads.

    Full Answer

    Cloud Audit Logs are categorized. Admin Activity logs capture changes to resource configurations (like firewall rules) and cannot be disabled. Data Access logs capture reads of data (like a SELECT query in BigQuery) and must be explicitly enabled because they can generate massive volumes of logs.

    Common mistakes

    Selecting VPC Flow Logs (D) because firewalls are mentioned, but Flow Logs only show network traffic, not the API call that *changed* the firewall rule.
