Schedule a Sensitive Data Protection inspection scan

Create a job trigger

In the following sections, you configure and create a job trigger for a BigQuery public dataset that contains the street addresses of bike share stations in a city.

When this job trigger runs, Sensitive Data Protection scans around 700 bytes of data. You can inspect up to 1 GB of storage data per month free of charge. For more information about pricing, see Storage inspection job pricing.
