Exam DBDEA Topics: governance Difficulty: hard

A contractor's engagement is being transferred to a partner organization. Today the contractor reads main.hr.compensation through membership in the hr_analysts group, which holds SELECT on that table. Security policy requires that this specific principal must never be able to read the table again — even if the contractor is later added to other groups that hold SELECT on it, now or in the future. Which action guarantees this outcome?
