PCSE Cloud DLP job trigger Practice Question
This PCSE practice question tests your understanding of ensuring data protection. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. A key principle to apply: cloud DLP job trigger. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company wants to implement automatic de-identification of sensitive data stored in Cloud Storage using Cloud DLP. They need to scan new objects as they are uploaded and apply a transformation to remove credit card numbers. Which three resources must they create? (Choose THREE.)

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Cloud DLP job that uses the trigger and template
To automatically de-identify sensitive data in Cloud Storage using Cloud DLP, you must create three resources: a Cloud DLP job trigger (C) to initiate the scan when new objects are uploaded, a Cloud DLP de-identification template (E) that specifies the transformation (e.g., removing credit card numbers), and a Cloud DLP job (B) that references both the trigger and the de-identification template. The inspection template (A) is not required because the job can directly specify the infoTypes to inspect in its configuration.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
A common pitfall is to assume that an inspection template is required for any DLP job, but in this scenario the de-identification template is mandatory because the goal is to transform data (remove credit card numbers). The three required resources are the job trigger (to automatically scan new objects), the de-identification template (to specify the transformation), and the DLP job (to bind trigger and template). An inspection template is not needed because the job can directly specify infoTypes to inspect.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Cloud DLP job triggers can be configured to monitor a Cloud Storage bucket for new objects using event-based triggers (e.g., via Pub/Sub notifications). The job then applies the inspection template to detect sensitive data and can perform transformations like redaction or masking directly, without requiring a separate de-identification template. Under the hood, the job uses the DLP API's `projects.jobs.create` method with a `triggerId` to link to the trigger, and the inspection template is specified via `inspectConfig.inspectTemplateName`.

- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
