Q41. Your company has recently migrated from an on-premises email solution to Google Workspace. You have successfully added and verified the new primary domain. However, you also want to continue receiving emails sent to your former on-premises email server for a transitional period. You need to ensure that emails sent to your former domain are still delivered to your on-premises server, even though your primary email system is now Google Workspace. What should you do?

Configure MX records for the former domain to point to your on-premises email servers.

Add the former domain as a secondary domain in your Google Workspace settings and verify the domain.

Adjust the TTL (Time-to-Live) for the former domain to ensure a smooth transition.

Add the former domain as a domain alias for the primary domain.

To ensure that emails sent to your former domain are still delivered to your on-premises server during a transitional period after migrating your primary email to Google Workspace, you need to configure the MX (Mail Exchanger) records for the former domain to point to your on-premises email servers.
Here’s why the other options are incorrect and why configuring MX records is the correct approach, based on the principles of email routing and domain management within Google Workspace:
A . Configure MX records for the former domain to point to your on-premises email servers.
MX records are DNS records that specify the mail servers responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain. 1 By configuring the MX records for your former domain to point to the IP addresses or hostnames of your on-premises email servers, you are instructing the internet’s DNS system that any email addressed to users on your former domain should be routed to those specific servers. This ensures that mail for the former domain bypasses Google Workspace and continues to be delivered to your existing infrastructure.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: While the exact phrasing might vary across different Google Workspace support articles and documentation, the core concept of MX records and their role in email routing is fundamental to domain setup and management. The official Google Workspace Admin Help documentation on “Set up MX records for Google Workspace” (or similar titles) explicitly explains how MX records control where email for a domain is delivered. In this scenario, you are essentially managing the MX records for a domain that is not the primary Google Workspace domain to direct its mail flow.
B . Add the former domain as a secondary domain in your Google Workspace settings and verify the domain.
Adding a domain as a secondary domain within Google Workspace allows you to create separate user accounts with email addresses on that domain, all managed within your Google Workspace organization. This would mean that Google Workspace would handle the email for the former domain, which is the opposite of what you need in this scenario (you want the emails to go to your on-premises server).
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The Google Workspace Admin Help documentation on “Add a domain or domain alias” clearly distinguishes between secondary domains and domain aliases and their respective functionalities. Secondary domains are for managing separate sets of users, not for routing mail to external servers.
C . Adjust the TTL (Time-to-Live) for the former domain to ensure a smooth transition.
TTL is the amount of time a DNS record is cached by resolving name servers. While adjusting TTL can be important when making DNS changes (like switching MX records to Google Workspace), it doesn’t directly control where email is delivered. Lowering the TTL before making MX changes to point to Google Workspace helps with a faster transition, but in this case, you are not pointing the former domain’s mail to Google Workspace. Therefore, adjusting the TTL alone will not achieve the desired outcome.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: Information on TTL is typically found within the context of DNS management best practices in Google Workspace Admin Help, often related to domain verification or MX record changes to Google. It doesn’t serve as a mechanism for routing mail to external, non-Google Workspace servers for a domain that isn’t managed by Google Workspace for email.
D . Add the former domain as a domain alias for the primary domain.
Adding a domain as a domain alias means that emails sent to addresses on the alias domain will be delivered to the corresponding user accounts on your primary Google Workspace domain. This is useful when you want users to receive email at multiple domain names within your Google Workspace environment. It does not route email to an external, on-premises server.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The Google Workspace Admin Help documentation on “Add a domain or domain alias” clearly explains the functionality of domain aliases. It emphasizes that email sent to a domain alias is received by the users on the primary domain, not an external system.
Therefore, the only way to ensure emails sent to your former domain are still delivered to your on-premises server is by configuring the MX records for that former domain to point to your on-premises mail server.

Q42. Your organization wants to ensure that all employees who use Chrome browsers for work adhere to specific security and configuration settings. You need to manage and control the Chrome browsers used within the company while using the least expensive solution. What should you do?

Use a third-party software deployment solution to manage the Chrome browser.

Remotely wipe all employee devices to ensure that they are using the latest Chrome browser version.

Enroll the Chrome browsers in your organization’s domain and apply Chrome browser policies.

Disable all extensions on employee Chrome browsers to prevent any potential security risks.

Google Workspace (specifically Chrome Enterprise Core, which is often included or available for free with Google Workspace editions) provides built-in capabilities to manage Chrome browsers across an organization. By enrolling Chrome browsers in your domain, you can apply policies centrally from the Google Admin console, controlling security settings, extensions, updates, and more. This is a first-party, cloud-based solution that doesn’t require additional software or licensing costs beyond your existing Google Workspace subscription, making it the “least expensive solution.” Here’s why the other options are less suitable for managing Chrome browsers with the least expense:
A . Use a third-party software deployment solution to manage the Chrome browser. While possible, this would incur additional costs for the third-party software, its licensing, and potentially its maintenance. Google Workspace offers native browser management, so a third-party solution is not the “least expensive.” B . Remotely wipe all employee devices to ensure that they are using the latest Chrome browser version. Remotely wiping devices is a drastic and disruptive measure, typically used for lost/stolen devices or offboarding. It’s not a standard or appropriate method for managing browser versions or applying configuration settings. It would also be highly expensive in terms of lost productivity and IT effort.
D . Disable all extensions on employee Chrome browsers to prevent any potential security risks. While disabling extensions can mitigate some risks, it’s an overly broad and potentially disruptive action that could hinder employee productivity if legitimate and necessary extensions are disabled. More importantly, it’s just one potential policy you might apply, not the method for managing the browsers centrally and cost-effectively. Chrome browser policies allow for granular control, including allowing/blocking specific extensions.
Reference from Google Workspace Administrator:
Set Chrome policies for users or browsers: This is the key administrative function that allows you to manage Chrome browsers. It describes how to apply policies to Chrome browsers enrolled in your organization’s domain.
Reference:
Chrome Enterprise Core: This outlines the free cloud-based management features available for Chrome browsers, which are often integrated with Google Workspace. It explicitly states that “cloud-based management and reporting for $0” are available with Chrome Enterprise Core.
Maximizing Google Chrome Management in Google Workspace: This article further emphasizes that “the basic policies for Google Chrome management are available for free with Google Workspace.” By leveraging the built-in Chrome browser management capabilities within the Google Workspace Admin console, organizations can centrally control Chrome settings and security with no additional software cost, fitting the “least expensive solution” requirement.

Q43. Your organization is concerned about unauthorized access attempts. You want to implement a security measure that makes users change their password if there are twenty or more failed login attempts within one hour. You want to use the most effective and efficient approach. What should you do?

Set up a Chrome action rule to restrict users from defined ChromeOS actions after twenty failed password attempts.

Create an activity rule for user log events, define a time period and threshold, and select an Action for the rule to force a password change.

Create an activity rule for live-state data sources that meets the required time period and threshold to identify users who need to change their password.

Enable email alerts to notify users that they need to change their password.

Q44. Your organization collects credit card information in customer files. You need to implement a policy for your organization’s Google Drive data that prevents the accidental sharing of files that contain credit card numbers with external users. You also need to record any sharing incidents for reporting. What should you do?

Create a data loss prevention (DLP) rule that uses the predefined credit card number detector, sets the action to “block external sharing”, and enables the “Log event” option.

Enable Gmail content compliance, and create a rule to block email attachments containing credit card numbers from being sent to external recipients.

Implement a third-party data loss prevention solution to integrate with Drive and provide advanced content detection capabilities.

Configure a data retention policy to automatically delete files containing credit card numbers after a specified period.

Q45. Your company distributes an internal newsletter that contains sensitive information to all employees by email. You’ve noticed unauthorized forwarding of this newsletter to external addresses, potentially leading to data leaks. To prevent this, you need to implement a solution that automatically detects and blocks such forwarding while allowing legitimate internal sharing. What should you do?

Add a banner to the newsletter that warns users that external sharing is prohibited.

Create a Gmail content compliance rule that targets the internal newsletter, identifying instances of external forwarding. Configure the rule to reject the message when such forwarding is detected

Develop an Apps Script project by using the Gmail API to scan sent emails for the newsletter content and external recipients. Automatically revoke access for violating users.

Create a content compliance rule to modify the newsletter subject line, adding a warning against external forwarding.

Q46. Your organization requires enhanced privacy and security when sending messages to banks and other financial institutions. Your organization uses Gmail, but the banks use various other email providers. You need to maximize privacy and limit access to messages sent and received between your organization and the banks. What should you do?

Set up Transport Layer Security (TLS) compliance for inbound and outbound messages with a list of the banks’ email domains. Validate the TLS connections.

Configure Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) authentication for your email domains.

Enable Protect against unauthenticated emails in Gmail Safety.

Enable confidential mode for Gmail. Instruct employees to use confidential mode when sending messages to the banks.

Q47. You notice an increase in support tickets related to Gmail. Multiple users are reporting that their emails are not loading, and they are receiving error messages. You need to troubleshoot the issue and identify potential causes. What should you do?

Analyze the users’ Gmail labels and filters to determine whether incoming emails are being inadvertently blocked.

Collect the users’ browser versions and extensions to identify potential compatibility issues.

Review the users’ email forwarding settings to ensure that emails are not being redirected to incorrect addresses.

Gather HAR files from affected users to capture network traffic and analyze request/response details.

When users report issues like “emails not loading” and “receiving error messages” in Gmail, especially if it’s a new or widespread problem, it often points to network-related issues, client-side problems, or interactions between the browser and Google’s servers. A HAR (HTTP Archive) file captures all the network requests and responses that occur in a web browser. This detailed log is invaluable for diagnosing web application issues, including:
Identifying specific error codes from the server.
Analyzing request and response headers.
Checking the timing of requests to see if there are performance bottlenecks.
Pinpointing blocked requests or failed resources.
Here’s why the other options are less effective as the first troubleshooting step for this type of widespread issue:
A . Analyze the users’ Gmail labels and filters to determine whether incoming emails are being inadvertently blocked. While labels and filters can affect email visibility, they typically wouldn’t cause “emails not loading” or generic “error messages” for the Gmail interface itself. This would be more relevant if emails were simply missing, but the interface was functional.
B . Collect the users’ browser versions and extensions to identify potential compatibility issues. This is a good secondary troubleshooting step. Browser versions, extensions, or even cached data can certainly cause issues. However, a HAR file can often reveal if the problem is at the browser level (e.g., an extension blocking a script) or deeper within the network interaction. If the HAR shows clean network traffic, then looking at browser specifics becomes more critical.
C . Review the users’ email forwarding settings to ensure that emails are not being redirected to incorrect addresses. Email forwarding affects where emails go after they arrive in Gmail, not whether the Gmail interface itself loads or displays errors. This is irrelevant to the reported symptoms.
Reference from Google Workspace Administrator:
While there isn’t a direct “Gmail troubleshooting with HAR files” page in the Google Workspace Admin Help, the concept of using HAR files for web application troubleshooting is a fundamental best practice, widely used by Google support themselves when diagnosing complex browser-related issues with Google Workspace services.
General Troubleshooting Steps for Google Workspace (Implicit HAR File Use): Google’s support often requests HAR files when diagnosing browser or network-related issues with any of their web-based services. This is a common diagnostic tool.
How to Generate a HAR file: Instructions on how to generate a HAR file are commonly available from browser developers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.) and are often shared by support teams when troubleshooting web application problems.
Example (General Web Development/Troubleshooting Resource): Various online tutorials and browser developer documentation provide instructions on how to generate HAR files (e.g., Chrome DevTools, Firefox Network Monitor). These are standard tools for web troubleshooting.
By capturing a HAR file, you get a comprehensive picture of the communication between the user’s browser and Google’s servers, which is critical for identifying the root cause of loading errors and general functionality issues in a web application like Gmail.

Q48. A team of temporary employees left your organization after completing a shared project. Per company policy, you need to disable their Google Workspace accounts while preserving all project data and related communications in Google Vault for a minimum of two years. You want to comply with this policy while minimizing cost. What should you do?

Purchase and assign Archived User licenses to the former employees.

Transfer the former employees’ files and data to active user accounts. Delete the former employees’ Workspace accounts.

Purchase additional user licenses and suspend the former employees’ accounts.

Move the former employees to their own organizational unit (OU) and disable access to Google services for that OU.

Q49. Your company’s legal department has issued a litigation hold that requires you to preserve all data related to a specific project. You need to ensure that all data for this project, including emails, documents, and chats, are preserved indefinitely and cannot be deleted by users. What should you do?

Create a hold in Google Vault that includes all users and data sources associated with the project.

Assign an Archived User license to all users involved in the project.

Set up a retention rule in Google Vault that retains all data from Gmail and Drive indefinitely.

Export all project related data from Google Workspace and store the data in a separate, secure location.

Q50. Your organization’s users are reporting that a large volume of legitimate emails are being misidentified as spam in Gmail. You want to troubleshoot this problem while following Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

Adjust the organization’s mail content compliance settings in the Admin console.

Advise users to individually allowlist senders.

Disable spam filtering for all users.

Contact Google Workspace support and report a suspected system-wide spam filter malfunction.

Q51. Your company’s security team has requested two requirements to secure employees’ mobile devices-enforcement of a passcode and remote account wipe functionality. The security team does not want an agent to be installed on the mobile devices or to purchase additional licenses. Employees have a mix of iOS and Android devices. You need to ensure that these requirements are met. What should you do?

Implement a third-party enterprise mobility management (EMM) provider.

Set up advanced mobile management for iOS devices and basic mobile management for Android devices.

Set up basic management for both iOS and Android devices.

Set up advanced management for both iOS and Android devices.

Q52. Multiple users in your organization are reporting that Calendar invitations sent from a specific department are not being received. You verified that the invitations are being sent and there are no error messages in the sender’s logs. You want to troubleshoot the issue. What should you do?

Analyze the message headers of the sent invitations by using the Google Admin Toolbox to identify any delivery issues.

Verify that the senders in the specific department have the necessary permissions to share their calendars externally and send invitations outside of the organization.

Disable and re-enable the Calendar service for the affected users to refresh their connection.

Check the affected users’ Calendar settings to confirm whether they have accidentally blocked invitations from the specific department.

Q53. You are configuring Gmail for your company and want to implement a layered security approach. You decide to implement industry-standard email authentication protocols. What should you do?
Choose 2 answers

Enable a default email quarantine for all users to isolate suspicious emails and determine if the messages haven’t been authenticated.

Configure a blocked senders rule to block all emails from unknown senders.

Configure DKIM to digitally sign outbound emails and verify their origin.

Disable IMAP for your organization to prevent external clients from accessing Gmail.

Set up SPF records to specify authorized mail servers for your domain.

To implement industry-standard email authentication protocols as part of a layered security approach for Gmail, you should configure DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records for your domain. These protocols are crucial for verifying the sender’s identity and ensuring the integrity of email messages.
Here’s a breakdown of why options C and E are correct and why the others are not primarily email authentication protocols or best practices in this context:
C . Configure DKIM to digitally sign outbound emails and verify their origin.
DKIM adds a digital signature to the headers of outbound emails. This signature is verified by receiving mail servers using a public key published in your domain’s DNS records. DKIM helps to confirm that the email was indeed sent from your domain and that its content has not been altered in transit. It is a key email authentication protocol that enhances deliverability and protects against email spoofing.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The official Google Workspace Admin Help documentation on “Help prevent email spoofing with DKIM” (or similar titles) explains how to set up DKIM for your domain. It details the process of generating a DKIM key, adding the public key as a TXT record in your DNS, and enabling DKIM signing in the Google Admin console. The documentation emphasizes DKIM’s role in authenticating outbound mail and improving email security.
E . Set up SPF records to specify authorized mail servers for your domain.
SPF is a DNS-based email authentication protocol that allows you to specify which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of your domain. Receiving mail servers check the SPF record in the sender’s domain’s DNS to verify if the sending server’s IP address is listed as authorized. This helps to prevent spammers from forging the “From” address of your domain.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The Google Workspace Admin Help documentation on “Help prevent spoofing with SPF” (or similar titles) guides administrators on creating and publishing SPF records in their domain’s DNS. It explains the syntax of SPF records and how they help receiving servers validate the sender’s origin, thus reducing spoofing and improving deliverability.
Now, let’s look at why the other options are not the primary choices for implementing industry-standard email authentication protocols:
A . Enable a default email quarantine for all users to isolate suspicious emails and determine if the messages haven’t been authenticated.
Email quarantine is a security feature that holds potentially harmful or suspicious emails for review. While it can help manage unauthenticated emails, it is a response to potential authentication failures or suspicious content, not an authentication protocol itself. Quarantine helps in handling emails that fail authentication checks (like SPF or DKIM) or are flagged by other security measures.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: Documentation on Gmail quarantine settings explains how to configure them to manage suspicious emails, including those that may not be properly authenticated. It’s a post-authentication handling mechanism.
B . Configure a blocked senders rule to block all emails from unknown senders.
Blocking all emails from “unknown senders” is an overly aggressive and impractical approach for most organizations, as you will likely receive legitimate emails from new contacts or domains. While you can create blocklists, it’s not a standard email authentication protocol and can lead to significant disruption of email flow.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: Gmail’s blocking features allow users and administrators to block specific addresses or domains, but blocking all unknown senders is not a recommended security practice.
D . Disable IMAP for your organization to prevent external clients from accessing Gmail.
Disabling IMAP can enhance security by limiting how users access their email, potentially reducing the risk of compromised third-party applications. However, it is not an email authentication protocol that verifies the sender of an email. It controls access to the mailbox, not the authentication of emails received or sent.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: Documentation on managing IMAP and POP access explains how to enable or disable these protocols for users, focusing on access methods rather than email sender authentication.
Therefore, the two correct answers for implementing industry-standard email authentication protocols are configuring DKIM to sign outbound emails and setting up SPF records to specify authorized sending servers.

Q54. You are investigating a potential data breach. You need to see which devices are accessing corporate data and the applications used. What should you do?

Analyze the User Accounts section in the Google Admin console.

Analyze the Google Workspace reporting section of the Admin console.

Analyze the security investigation tool to access device log data.

Analyze the audit log in the Admin console for device and application activity.

Q55. Your company is undergoing a regulatory compliance audit. As part of the audit, you are required to demonstrate that you can preserve all electronic communications related to a specific project for a potential legal discovery process. You need to configure Google Vault to accomplish this goal. What should you do?

Use the security investigation report to show Vault log events.

Use the search and export functionality to identify all relevant communications within the project timeframe.

Create a matter and a hold on all project-related data sources such as Email. Chat, and Drive within Google Workspace.

Create a custom retention policy for the project data. Ensure that the policy covers the required retention period.

Q56. An employee at your organization may be sharing confidential documents with unauthorized external parties. You must quickly determine if any sensitive information has been leaked. What should you do?

Review the employee’s Drive log events in the security investigation tool.

Audit Drive access by using the Admin SDK Reports API.

Review the employee’s user log events within the security investigation tool.

Create a custom report of the user’s external sharing by using the security dashboard.

To quickly determine if an employee has shared confidential documents externally, you should utilize the security investigation tool in the Google Admin console and specifically review the Drive log events associated with that employee’s account. This tool provides a centralized place to audit user activity related to Google Drive, including sharing actions.
Here’s why option A is the most direct and efficient first step:
A . Review the employee’s Drive log events in the security investigation tool.
The security investigation tool allows administrators to examine various logs related to user activity and potential security incidents. By focusing on the Drive log events for the specific employee in question, you can quickly filter and review actions such as file sharing, permission changes, and external access. This will provide a direct view of whether the employee has indeed shared documents externally and to whom.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The official Google Workspace Admin Help documentation on the “Security investigation tool” (or similar titles) explains its capabilities. Specifically, the section on “Investigating Drive log events” details how administrators can use filters to view file sharing activities, including external sharing, by specific users and timeframes. This tool is designed for precisely such scenarios where you need to quickly audit user actions related to data access and sharing.
B . Audit Drive access by using the Admin SDK Reports API.
While the Admin SDK Reports API can provide detailed information about Drive activity, using it requires programming skills and setting up custom scripts or applications. This is not the quickest way to investigate a potential immediate security concern. The security investigation tool offers a user-friendly interface for administrators to perform such investigations without needing to code.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The Google Workspace Admin SDK documentation describes the Reports API and its capabilities. While powerful for custom reporting and automation, it’s not the fastest method for a quick, ad-hoc security investigation compared to the built-in security investigation tool.
C . Review the employee’s user log events within the security investigation tool.
The user log events in the security investigation tool cover a broader range of activities beyond just Google Drive, such as login attempts, password changes, and device management actions. While this might provide some context, it is less focused on file sharing activities compared to the Drive log events. To quickly determine if confidential documents were shared, filtering directly for Drive-related actions is more efficient.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The documentation on the security investigation tool outlines the different log sources available, including user logs and Drive logs. For investigating file sharing, the Drive logs provide more specific and relevant information.
D . Create a custom report of the user’s external sharing by using the security dashboard.
The security dashboard provides an overview of your organization’s security posture and includes pre-built reports and insights. While you can create custom reports, this process might take longer than directly investigating the Drive log events for the specific employee in the security investigation tool. The investigation tool is designed for targeted and immediate analysis of potential security incidents related to user actions.
Associate Google Workspace Administrator topics guides or documents reference: The Google Workspace Admin Help documentation on the “Security dashboard” explains its features, which focus on overall security trends and insights. While it can be useful for identifying patterns, the security investigation tool is more suited for investigating specific user actions and potential data leaks on demand.
Therefore, the most efficient and direct way to quickly determine if the employee has shared confidential documents externally is to review the employee’s Drive log events in the security investigation tool.

Q57. You work for a multinational organization. Employees in several office buildings are experiencing issues with Google Voice, including dropped calls and poor call quality. You need to quickly determine whether this is a localized issue or a broader Google Voice service disruption. What should you do?

Verify whether users in the affected buildings have been assigned Google Voice licenses.

Check the Google Workspace Status Dashboard for reported service outages or disruptions.

Check the Google Workspace Updates blog for announcements about Google Voice issues.

Use the security investigation tool to search user log events for “Call failed”, and analyze packet loss data.

When multiple users across different office buildings experience issues with a Google Workspace service like Google Voice (dropped calls, poor call quality), the first and most efficient step to determine if it’s a widespread service disruption or a localized issue is to check the official Google Workspace Status Dashboard. This dashboard provides real-time and historical information on the status of all Google Workspace services.
Here’s why the other options are less effective as the first step:
A . Verify whether users in the affected buildings have been assigned Google Voice licenses. If users are experiencing issues like dropped calls, it implies they have licenses and can generally access the service. A licensing issue would likely prevent them from using Google Voice at all, not just lead to poor quality. This would be a troubleshooting step if the dashboard shows no outage and individual users can’t use the service at all.
C . Check the Google Workspace Updates blog for announcements about Google Voice issues. The Updates blog is for new features, policy changes, and sometimes post-mortems of past major incidents, but it’s not a real-time status indicator for current outages. The Status Dashboard is designed for this immediate check.
D . Use the security investigation tool to search user log events for “Call failed”, and analyze packet loss data. The security investigation tool is excellent for detailed forensic analysis of specific user activities and security events. While it could eventually reveal packet loss or call failure events, it’s a time-consuming investigative tool. Before diving into granular logs, you first need to rule out a broader service outage that would affect many users. If the Status Dashboard shows no issues, then using the investigation tool to look at specific user logs is a valid next step for localized troubleshooting.
Reference from Google Workspace Administrator:
Google Workspace Status Dashboard: This is the primary and official source for real-time information on the status of Google Workspace services. It is designed precisely for checking widespread outages or disruptions.

Q58. You work for a healthcare provider that uses an external medical billing company to manage patient records and invoices. Your organization’s employees need to share patient documents with the billing company’s employees for processing. You need to configure access so the medical billing company’s employees can view and edit the documents, but they cannot delete the documents. What should you do?

Create a shared drive that is managed by your organization’s employees. Grant Contributor access to the billing company’s staff.

Create a shared drive. Grant Content Manager access to your organization’s employees and the billing company.

Create a group, and add the employees from your organization and the billing company. Create a shared folder on Google Drive. Grant Editor access to the group

Restrict access for the medical billing company’s employees by using Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies.

Q59. Your organization is about to conduct its biannual risk assessment. You need to help identify security risks by quickly reviewing all security settings for Gmail, Drive, and Calendar. What should you do?

In the reporting section of the Admin console, review the Gmail, Drive, and Calendar reports.

In the alert center, review all of the alerts.

In each individual organizational unit (OU), review the security settings.

In the Google Admin console, review the security health page.

Q60. Your organization is migrating their current on-premises email solution to Google Workspace. You need to ensure that emails sent to your domain are correctly routed to Gmail. What should you do?

Change the Mail Exchange (MX) records in your current email domain’s DNS settings to point to Google’s mail servers.

Set up email forwarding from your on-premises email provider to Gmail.

Create a content compliance rule to filter and route incoming emails.

Configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in your current email domain’s DNS settings.
