Accepted Answer

retention policy with a retention period of 10 years and an action to delete at the end of the period. A retention policy can be applied to a SharePoint site to enforce a 10-year retention period with a deletion action at the end, while allowing users to edit documents during that period. This meets the compliance requirement because retention policies preserve content from deletion by users, but still permit editing. The 'delete at end of retention period' action ensures automatic removal after 10 years.

Answer

retention label auto-applied to all documents in the site

Answer

Litigation hold on the site

Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy with a retention action

Question 2

The legal department is investigating a potential data breach involving a specific user. The compliance officer needs to place a hold on all content in the user's Exchange Online mailbox and OneDrive for Business to prevent deletion until the investigation is complete. Which Microsoft Purview solution should the officer use?

Accepted Answer

eDiscovery (Standard). eDiscovery (Standard) allows you to place a hold on Exchange Online mailboxes and OneDrive for Business sites to preserve content from deletion during an investigation. This hold prevents users and automated processes from permanently deleting items, ensuring data integrity for legal or compliance reviews.

Question 3

A compliance officer needs to automatically apply a sensitivity label that encrypts documents in SharePoint Online when the documents contain a custom regex pattern (e.g., employee ID). The labeling must occur automatically without requiring user interaction. Which two Microsoft Purview components must be configured? (Select the option that correctly identifies both components.)

Accepted Answer

An auto-labeling policy and a sensitivity label with encryption configured. Auto-labeling in Microsoft Purview requires three elements: (1) a custom sensitive info type (SIT) defined with the regex pattern (e.g., employee ID), (2) a sensitivity label configured with encryption, and (3) an auto-labeling policy that uses the SIT as a condition to apply the label without user interaction. Option A is incomplete because it omits the custom SIT needed to detect the regex pattern; without it, the auto-labeling policy has no condition to match. Option D includes the SIT and label but lacks the auto-labeling policy, so it cannot apply labels automatically. The question's framing as 'two components' is flawed; the correct set is the SIT, the label, and the auto-labeling policy.

retention label and an auto-labeling policy

Answer

sensitive info type and a sensitivity label

Question 4

A compliance officer needs to automatically apply a sensitivity label named 'Confidential' to documents stored in SharePoint Online whenever the documents contain social security numbers. Users must be prevented from removing the label. Which configuration should the officer implement?

Accepted Answer

Create a sensitivity label with auto-labeling and set 'Require justification to remove the label'. Sensitivity labels support auto-labeling based on sensitive info types (e.g., social security numbers). To prevent users from removing the label, configure the label policy setting 'Require justification to remove a label or lower classification label'. Option B correctly combines auto-labeling with this protection setting. Retention labels (A) manage lifecycle, the MIP unified labeling client (C) is outdated, and DLP policies (D) can apply labels but do not inherently prevent label removal.

Answer

Create a retention label with auto-labeling based on sensitive info types

Answer

Use Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) unified labeling client to apply labels

Answer

Configure Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy to apply the label

Question 5

A compliance officer needs to retain all documents in a SharePoint Online site associated with the Finance department for 10 years, after which the documents must be automatically deleted. During the retention period, users must be allowed to edit the documents but not delete them. Which Microsoft Purview solution should the officer configure?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Retention policy with Exchange location. A retention policy with the Exchange location in Microsoft Purview allows you to define a retention period (e.g., 7 years) and then automatically delete messages after that period. It enforces the retention regardless of user actions because it operates at the service level, not relying on user cooperation. This meets the compliance officer's requirement for mandatory, time-based retention and deletion.

Answer

Litigation hold

Answer

Classification policy

Answer

In-place eDiscovery hold

Question 6

A compliance officer needs to block users from sharing emails that contain credit card numbers with external recipients. When a user attempts to send such an email, it should be blocked immediately, and a policy tip should notify the user. Which Microsoft Purview solution should the officer configure?

Accepted Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy.. A Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy is the correct solution because it is specifically designed to detect sensitive information types (e.g., credit card numbers via predefined rule patterns matching the Luhn algorithm) in transit and enforce actions such as blocking the email and displaying a policy tip to the sender. This meets the compliance officer's requirement to block external sharing of credit card data immediately with user notification.

Answer

Sensitivity label with encryption.

Answer

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Safe Attachments policy.

Answer

Communication compliance policy.

Question 7

A compliance officer needs to prevent users from copying sensitive data (e.g., credit card numbers) from a finance application into personal email or documents. The solution must inspect the content in real-time and block the action if sensitive data is detected. Which Microsoft Purview feature should the officer configure?

Accepted Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies are designed to inspect content in real-time as users attempt to copy, paste, or share sensitive data (e.g., credit card numbers) from applications like finance apps into personal email or documents. DLP uses deep content analysis via sensitive information types and policy tips to block the action before the data leaves the controlled environment, meeting the compliance officer's requirement for real-time blocking.

Answer

Sensitivity labels

Answer

Retention labels

Answer

eDiscovery

Question 8

A compliance officer needs to prevent users from sharing emails that contain credit card numbers with external recipients. When a user attempts to send such an email, it should be blocked immediately, and a policy tip should notify the user. Which Microsoft Purview solution should the officer configure?

Accepted Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy. A Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy is the correct solution because it is specifically designed to detect sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, in transit (e.g., email) and enforce actions like blocking the message and displaying a policy tip to the user. DLP policies use sensitive information types (e.g., Credit Card Number) and rules to inspect content in Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams, allowing real-time blocking with user notification. This directly meets the compliance officer's requirement to prevent external sharing and provide immediate feedback.

Question 9

A compliance officer needs to retain all documents in a SharePoint Online site associated with the Finance department for 10 years, after which the documents must be automatically deleted. During the retention period, users must be allowed to edit the documents but not delete them. Which Microsoft Purview solution should the officer configure?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

retention policy configured with a retention period of 7 years and an action to delete items automatically. A retention policy in Microsoft Purview can be applied at the site level to enforce a 7-year retention period with automatic deletion, while allowing users to edit documents during that time. The policy prevents deletion by users because the retention lock overrides user permissions, ensuring compliance with the requirement to block deletion but permit edits.

Answer

retention label configured with a retention period and an action to delete after 7 years

Answer

data lifecycle management policy

Answer

An eDiscovery hold

Question 10

A compliance officer needs to automatically detect documents in SharePoint Online that contain a custom pattern (e.g., employee ID in the format EMP-12345). The pattern will be used to apply a sensitivity label. Which Microsoft Purview feature should the officer use to define the pattern?

Accepted Answer

Sensitive information types. Sensitive information types (SITs) in Microsoft Purview are specifically designed to define custom patterns, such as regular expressions for employee IDs like EMP-12345. Once defined, these SITs can be used in sensitivity labels to automatically classify and protect documents in SharePoint Online. This is the correct feature because it directly supports pattern-based detection for labeling.

Question 11

A company must ensure that all outgoing emails containing credit card numbers are blocked from being sent to external recipients. When a user attempts to send such an email, it should be blocked immediately, and the user should see a policy tip explaining the rule. Which Microsoft Purview solution should the administrator configure?

Accepted Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy. A Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy is the correct solution because it is specifically designed to detect sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, in transit (email) and enforce real-time actions like blocking the message and displaying a policy tip to the user. DLP policies in Microsoft Purview can be configured with conditions that match credit card number patterns using built-in sensitive info types, and the action 'Block messages' with a policy tip notification is available for Exchange Online mail flow. This ensures immediate blocking and user notification without requiring any manual labeling or classification.

Question 12

An administrator is creating a Microsoft Purview auto-labeling policy for documents containing personally identifiable information. Before turning the policy on automatically, what should the administrator do to reduce false positives?

Accepted Answer

Run the auto-labeling policy in simulation mode and review matches. Running the auto-labeling policy in simulation mode allows the administrator to review which documents would be matched by the policy without actually applying labels. This enables analysis of the detection results to identify and reduce false positives before enabling automatic application, ensuring the policy accurately targets only documents containing the specified PII.

Answer

Publish the label directly to all users and enable automatic application immediately

Answer

Create an eDiscovery hold for the SharePoint locations

Answer

Configure a retention policy before creating the sensitivity label

Question 13

A compliance officer needs to prevent users from sharing documents that have been labeled 'Highly Confidential' with external users. When a user attempts to share such a document externally, the action should be blocked and the user should see a policy tip. Which Microsoft Purview solution should the officer configure?

Accepted Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy. A Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy is the correct solution because it can inspect content and context (including sensitivity labels) to enforce rules that block external sharing of documents labeled 'Highly Confidential' and display a policy tip to the user. DLP policies in Microsoft Purview are specifically designed to prevent accidental or intentional data leakage by monitoring and controlling sharing actions in real time.

Answer

Sensitivity label encryption

Answer

Retention policy

Answer

Records management

Question 14

A Microsoft Purview auto-labeling policy for sensitivity labels is matching too many SharePoint documents after simulation. Which two changes would most directly reduce false positives before enabling automatic labeling? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Increase the confidence level or instance-count requirement for the sensitive information type. Increasing the confidence level or instance-count requirement for the sensitive information type (SIT) directly reduces false positives by raising the threshold for what qualifies as a match. A higher confidence level means the classification engine requires stronger evidence (e.g., more keywords or a closer proximity to a pattern), while a higher instance count requires the sensitive data to appear multiple times in the document. Both adjustments make the auto-labeling rule more selective, ensuring only documents with a high likelihood of containing the specified sensitive content are labeled.

Answer

Turn on automatic labeling immediately and wait for users to report problems

Answer

Replace the sensitivity label with a retention label

Question 15

A compliance officer needs to ensure that all documents in a SharePoint Online library are automatically labeled with a 'Confidential' sensitivity label if they contain at least one of a predefined list of sensitive information types such as credit card numbers or social security numbers. Users should be able to override the label with a business justification. Which Microsoft Purview feature should the officer configure?

Accepted Answer

Auto-labeling policy for SharePoint Online. Auto-labeling policies in Microsoft Purview can automatically apply sensitivity labels to documents in SharePoint Online based on the detection of sensitive information types (e.g., credit card numbers, SSNs). This policy supports user override with a business justification, meeting the compliance officer's requirement exactly. Manual classification (Option D) would not automate the labeling, and DLP policies (Option B) focus on preventing data loss, not applying sensitivity labels.

Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy

Answer

Retention label policy

Answer

Sensitivity label with manual classification
