Question 3

A global company needs to ensure that only employees in the 'HR' security group can access a specific set of HR documents stored in SharePoint. If a user outside the group attempts to view or copy the content, it must be blocked. The protection must persist even if someone downloads the files and shares them externally, or if the files are saved to a personal device. Which Microsoft Purview solution should be used?

Accepted Answer

Sensitivity labels with encryption and permission settings. Sensitivity labels with encryption and permission settings are the correct solution because they allow you to apply persistent protection that travels with the file, regardless of where it is stored or shared. By configuring a sensitivity label to restrict access to only members of the 'HR' security group and enabling encryption, the protection remains intact even if the file is downloaded, saved to a personal device, or shared externally. This meets the requirement for persistent access control that blocks unauthorized viewing or copying.

Question 6

A company's CFO is pleased that they only pay for the compute and storage resources consumed each month, with no upfront hardware costs. This billing model is a direct result of which cloud computing characteristic?

Accepted Answer

Measured service. The CFO's observation that the company only pays for consumed compute and storage resources with no upfront hardware costs directly reflects the 'measured service' characteristic of cloud computing. Measured service means cloud providers meter resource usage (e.g., CPU hours, GB-months of storage) and bill based on actual consumption, typically using a pay-as-you-go model. This eliminates the need for capital expenditure on hardware, as costs are operational and tied to usage metrics.

Question 8

A service owner is comparing Microsoft 365 capabilities and needs to meter compute and storage usage for consumption-based billing. Cloud concept or benefit best matches this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Measured service. Measured service is a core cloud computing concept where resource usage (such as compute and storage) is metered, tracked, and billed based on actual consumption. This directly matches the service owner's requirement for consumption-based billing, as Microsoft 365 uses metering for services like Azure Active Directory and Exchange Online to enable pay-as-you-go models.

Accepted Answer

Microsoft 365 Business Basic. The question describes a scenario requiring web/mobile Office apps, business email, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint—but explicitly excludes desktop Office apps. Microsoft 365 Business Basic is the correct plan because it includes all these services (Exchange Online for email, Teams, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and web/mobile versions of Office apps) without including the desktop Office applications, making it the most relevant licensing concept.

Question 10

A department head asks which Microsoft 365 option should be used to access cloud resources from laptops, tablets, and phones over the internet. Cloud concept or benefit best matches this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Broad network access. Broad network access is a core NIST cloud characteristic that enables resources to be accessed over the internet by standard protocols (e.g., HTTPS, TLS) from a wide range of client devices such as laptops, tablets, and phones. This directly matches the requirement for accessing cloud resources from multiple device types over the internet.
