SC-900 Practice Test 3 — 10 Questions

Question 1

Refer to the exhibit. You are a compliance administrator running PowerShell to update a sensitivity label in Microsoft Purview. The command fails with an error that the label is not found. What is the most likely cause?

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

Accepted Answer

The cmdlet Get-MgInformationProtectionPolicy does not return labels.. The cmdlet Get-MgInformationProtectionPolicy retrieves the policy configuration but does not return individual sensitivity labels. To update a specific label, you must use Get-MgInformationProtectionSensitivityLabel to first retrieve the label object, then pipe it to Set-MgInformationProtectionSensitivityLabel. The error 'label not found' occurs because the cmdlet used does not expose labels, not because the label is missing or misspelled.

Answer

The -Settings parameter is deprecated.

Answer

The user does not have permissions to view labels.

Answer

The label name is misspelled.

Question 2

Which TWO capabilities are part of Microsoft Entra ID Governance?

Accepted Answer

Entitlement Management. Entitlement Management is a core capability of Microsoft Entra ID Governance because it enables organizations to manage the lifecycle of access for internal and external users through access packages, catalogs, and policies. It automates the request, approval, and assignment of access to groups, apps, and SharePoint sites, ensuring governance over who gets what and for how long. Access Reviews is also a key governance feature because it allows administrators to periodically review and certify user access, automatically removing stale or inappropriate permissions to maintain compliance.

Answer

Identity Protection

Answer

Conditional Access

Answer

Self-Service Password Reset

Question 3

A company wants to protect its employees from phishing attacks delivered via email. The solution must analyze all URLs embedded in incoming emails in real-time. If a URL points to a known malicious site, the link should be blocked at the time of click. Additionally, the solution should sandbox URLs in attachments and provide time-of-click verification. Which Microsoft security solution should they implement?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Defender for Office 365. Microsoft Defender for Office 365 (MDO) is the correct solution because it provides Safe Links, which performs real-time URL scanning and time-of-click verification for URLs embedded in email messages and attachments. It also includes Safe Attachments, which detonates attachments in a sandbox environment to analyze embedded URLs. These capabilities directly address the requirement to block malicious links at click time and sandbox URLs in attachments.

Answer

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps

Answer

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

Answer

Microsoft Cloud App Security

Question 4

Which TWO Microsoft Purview solutions can be used to identify and protect sensitive data in Microsoft 365?

Accepted Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP). Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is correct because it uses content analysis (e.g., keyword matching, regex patterns, and machine learning classifiers) to detect and automatically protect sensitive data like credit card numbers or PII across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams. Sensitivity labels are correct because they classify and protect data at rest and in transit by applying encryption, visual markings, and access restrictions based on label policies, enabling persistent protection even when data leaves Microsoft 365.

Answer

Communication compliance

Answer

Insider risk management

Answer

eDiscovery

Question 5

Your organization has Microsoft Sentinel deployed. The security operations team needs to automatically respond to a security incident by opening an incident in ServiceNow and sending a notification to a Teams channel. What should you configure?

Accepted Answer

An automation rule with a playbook. Automation rules in Microsoft Sentinel can trigger playbooks (based on Azure Logic Apps) that integrate with external systems like ServiceNow and Teams. Option B is wrong because workbooks provide visualizations, not automation. Option C is wrong because analytics rules create alerts, not automated responses. Option D is wrong because watchlists are for correlation, not response.

Answer

A workbook

Answer

An analytics rule

Answer

A watchlist

Question 6

Which TWO of the following are capabilities of Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management? (Select TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Identify anomalous user activities such as mass file downloads. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management uses predefined risk indicators to detect anomalous user activities, such as mass file downloads, which may signal data theft or policy violations. These indicators are based on user behavior analytics and can be customized to align with organizational risk tolerance.

Answer

Review communications for policy violations

Answer

Conduct eDiscovery searches for legal cases

Answer

Block sharing of sensitive data via email

Question 7

A cybersecurity analyst uses Microsoft Sentinel to detect threats. Which THREE types of analytics rules can be created?

Accepted Answer

Scheduled query rules. Scheduled query rules are correct because they allow you to define a KQL query that runs on a set schedule (e.g., every 5 minutes) to detect threats by analyzing log data from multiple sources. This is a core analytics rule type in Microsoft Sentinel for proactive threat detection based on time-based patterns.

Answer

Hunting rules

Answer

Machine learning rules

Question 8

Your organization uses Microsoft Entra ID. Which THREE authentication methods can be used for passwordless sign-in?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Authenticator (phone sign-in). Microsoft Authenticator (phone sign-in) enables passwordless authentication by using a cryptographic key pair tied to the user's device. When signing in, the user approves a notification on their phone, and the Authenticator app signs the challenge with the private key, eliminating the need for a password.

Answer

SMS-based verification

Answer

Time-based one-time password (TOTP)

Question 9

A company uses Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to monitor SaaS app usage. The security team wants to receive an alert when a user downloads more than 10 files from SharePoint Online within 5 minutes. Which type of policy should they create?

Accepted Answer

Anomaly detection policy. An anomaly detection policy in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is designed to identify unusual user behaviors, such as a spike in file downloads within a short time window. This policy uses machine learning to establish a baseline of normal activity and triggers alerts when deviations like downloading more than 10 files from SharePoint Online in 5 minutes occur, making it the correct choice for this use case.

Answer

Session policy

Answer

OAuth app policy

Answer

File policy

Question 10

Which THREE components are part of Microsoft Entra Permissions Management (CIEM)?

Accepted Answer

Activity trail. Activity trail (A) is correct because Microsoft Entra Permissions Management (CIEM) captures a detailed log of all user actions and resource access events across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). This trail is essential for forensic analysis and identifying anomalous behavior, directly supporting the CIEM goal of providing visibility into permissions usage.

Answer

Identity Protection

Answer

Access reviews
