SC-900 Practice Test 5 — 10 Questions

Question 1

A company wants to enforce multifactor authentication for all users. Which TWO Microsoft Entra ID features can be used together to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Conditional Access. Conditional Access policies allow you to enforce multifactor authentication (MFA) based on specific conditions such as user, location, or device state. Authentication methods define the MFA verification options (e.g., Microsoft Authenticator, SMS, OATH tokens) that users can register and use. Together, Conditional Access triggers the MFA requirement, while Authentication methods control which verification methods are available.

Answer

Identity Protection

Answer

Security defaults

Answer

Password protection

Question 2

A compliance administrator needs to generate a report showing all user activities related to accessing highly sensitive documents in SharePoint. Which Microsoft Purview solution should they use?

Accepted Answer

Audit (Standard or Premium). Audit (Standard or Premium) logs and records all user activities, including access to highly sensitive documents in SharePoint. Audit (Premium) provides deeper visibility with events like 'FileAccessed' and 'SensitivityLabelApplied', enabling compliance administrators to generate detailed reports on who accessed sensitive content and when.

Answer

eDiscovery

Answer

Data Loss Prevention

Answer

Communication Compliance

Question 3

Your organization uses Microsoft Sentinel as its SIEM. You need to create an analytics rule that detects when a user account is created in Azure AD and then, within 10 minutes, that same account is used to grant admin consent to an application. You have a KQL query that joins AuditLogs and SigninLogs. However, the rule is generating too many false positives. You need to refine the query to reduce false positives. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Add a condition to exclude accounts that are known admin accounts or service accounts.. Known admin or service accounts are often used for legitimate, automated admin consent grants, which can trigger false positives. By excluding these accounts from the detection logic, the rule focuses on anomalous behavior from non-privileged accounts, reducing noise while preserving the core detection of suspicious account creation followed by admin consent grant.

Answer

Change the rule to alert on every admin consent grant event regardless of account creation.

Answer

Remove the join with SigninLogs and only use AuditLogs.

Answer

Increase the time window from 10 minutes to 30 minutes.

Question 4

Your company wants to use Microsoft Purview to classify and protect sensitive data in Microsoft 365. The compliance team needs to automatically detect credit card numbers in emails and apply a label that encrypts the email. What should they configure?

Accepted Answer

A sensitivity label with auto-labeling for sensitive information types. Sensitivity labels with auto-labeling can automatically detect sensitive information types (such as credit card numbers) in emails and apply a label that enforces encryption. This meets the requirement to both classify and protect the data in transit.

Answer

A trainable classifier for credit card numbers

Answer

A retention label for credit card information

Answer

A data loss prevention (DLP) policy

Question 5

Which TWO capabilities are part of Microsoft Entra ID Protection? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Risk-based conditional access policies. Risk-based conditional access policies (B) are a core capability of Microsoft Entra ID Protection, allowing organizations to automatically enforce access controls based on detected risk levels from user and sign-in activities. Reports on risky users and sign-ins (D) provide the foundational telemetry that Entra ID Protection uses to identify and investigate potential identity compromises, making both integral to the service.

Answer

Passwordless authentication

Answer

Just-in-time privileged access

Answer

Conditional access policies for device compliance

Question 6

Refer to the exhibit. The JSON shows a Microsoft Purview DLP policy. A user sends an email with a credit card number to an external recipient. What will happen?

Accepted Answer

The email is blocked and the user receives a notification.. The DLP policy in the exhibit has a condition that detects credit card numbers and an action set to 'BlockMessage' with 'NotifyUser' enabled. Since the policy is configured for Exchange (email) and the action blocks the message, the email is blocked and the user receives a notification. The 'TeamsChatAndChannel' property being false is irrelevant because the policy is applied to Exchange, not Teams.

Answer

The email is delivered normally because TeamsChatAndChannel is false.

Answer

The email is delivered but an alert is generated.

Answer

The email is encrypted before delivery.

Question 7

A company has a Microsoft Entra ID tenant with thousands of users. They need to ensure that only users with a 'Manager' attribute populated can access a sensitive app. Which approach should they use?

Accepted Answer

Create a dynamic group rule that includes users with a non-empty Manager attribute, then target the group in a Conditional Access policy. A dynamic group rule can evaluate the 'Manager' attribute and include only users where it is populated. This group can then be assigned to a Conditional Access policy that requires the group membership for access to the sensitive app, ensuring only users with a manager can authenticate.

Answer

Use HR-driven provisioning to populate an on-premises attribute and sync it

Answer

Create an access package in Entitlement Management that requires manager approval

Answer

Create an Administrative Unit for users with managers and assign the app to that unit

Question 8

Which TWO of the following are Microsoft Purview solutions that help protect sensitive data?

Accepted Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP). Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a Microsoft Purview solution that helps protect sensitive data by identifying, monitoring, and automatically enforcing policies to prevent accidental or unauthorized sharing of sensitive information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, or health records across services like Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams. Sensitivity labels are another Purview solution that protect sensitive data by allowing administrators to classify and apply protection (encryption, visual markings) to documents and emails, and enforce controls like 'Do Not Forward' or 'Encrypt-Only' based on the label's configuration.

Answer

Communication Compliance

Answer

eDiscovery

Answer

Insider Risk Management

Question 9

Refer to the exhibit. You are creating a custom analytics rule in Microsoft Sentinel. What does this rule detect?

Accepted Answer

Sign-ins with medium or high risk from outside the US. The rule is configured with 'Risk level: Medium, High' and 'Location: Outside US'. This means it triggers only when both conditions are met: the sign-in risk is medium or high, and the location is outside the US. Option D correctly matches this combination, detecting sign-ins with medium or high risk from outside the US.

Answer

Sign-ins with high sign-in risk from any location

Answer

Sign-ins with medium or high risk from the US

Answer

Sign-ins from users with high user risk outside the US

Question 10

An organization wants to allow users to classify documents as 'Public', 'Internal', 'Confidential', or 'Highly Confidential' with different levels of protection. Which Microsoft Purview solution should they use?

Accepted Answer

Sensitivity labels. Sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview Information Protection allow organizations to classify and protect documents and emails by applying labels such as 'Public', 'Internal', 'Confidential', or 'Highly Confidential'. These labels can enforce encryption, visual markings (headers/footers/watermarks), and access restrictions based on the classification level, directly meeting the requirement for different levels of protection.

Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Answer

Communication compliance

Answer

Retention policies
