Ensure GDPR Compliance for Your Web Application

D.

As the responsible person for the technical architecture of your web application, you need to ensure that your application complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union (EU). The GDPR is a regulation that sets guidelines for the collection, processing, and retention of personal data of individuals within the EU, regardless of where the data is processed.

To comply with GDPR, you should choose option D, which is to define a design for the security of data in your web application that meets GDPR requirements. This is because GDPR compliance is not only about using specific services or tools but requires a comprehensive approach to data security and privacy.

Option A, which suggests that you only use native features and services of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) because Google already has various certifications and provides pass-on compliance when you use native features, is not sufficient to ensure GDPR compliance. While using native features and services of GCP can help to meet some of the GDPR requirements, it is not a complete solution.

Option B suggests enabling the relevant GDPR compliance setting within the GCP console for each of the services in use within your application. While this can help you configure the services to meet GDPR requirements, it is not enough to ensure overall compliance. You also need to ensure that your application design meets GDPR requirements.

Option C, which suggests that Cloud Security Scanner is part of your test planning strategy to pick up any compliance gaps, is not sufficient to ensure GDPR compliance. While Cloud Security Scanner can help you identify security vulnerabilities in your application, it does not cover all the GDPR requirements.

In summary, to ensure GDPR compliance for your web application, you should define a design for the security of data in your web application that meets GDPR requirements. This design should include measures such as data encryption, data minimization, data retention policies, user consent management, and user access controls. Additionally, you should ensure that all third-party services and tools used within your application also comply with GDPR requirements.
