SC-900 Describe the capabilities of Microsoft compliance solutions — Timed 10 Questions

Question 1

A healthcare organization uses Microsoft Purview to protect patient health information (PHI). They need to identify sensitive data stored in Microsoft SharePoint Online and prevent unauthorized sharing. Which two Purview solutions should they implement? (Select all that apply.)

Accepted Answer

Data Classification. Data Classification (A) is correct because it enables the organization to identify and label sensitive data, such as PHI, stored in SharePoint Online. By applying sensitivity labels or retention labels, the organization can classify content based on its sensitivity, which is a prerequisite for applying protective actions. This allows them to discover where PHI resides and prepare it for further controls.

Question 2

A multinational corporation must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They use Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager to manage compliance activities. The compliance manager wants to automatically assign each control to the appropriate team member for remediation. What should they configure?

Accepted Answer

Configure improvement actions with owners. To automatically assign each control to the appropriate team member for remediation in Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager, you must configure improvement actions with owners. Each improvement action can be assigned to a specific user who is responsible for implementing the remediation steps, and this assignment triggers automatic notifications and tracking within the compliance score.

Question 3

A company is subject to a legal hold for an ongoing investigation. The IT administrator must prevent the deletion of any documents related to this case across SharePoint Online and OneDrive, overriding any existing deletion policies. Which Microsoft Purview capability should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

eDiscovery (Premium). eDiscovery (Premium) is the correct choice because it provides legal hold capabilities that can preserve content in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business, overriding any deletion policies. When a legal hold is applied via eDiscovery, the system places a hold on the specified locations, preventing permanent deletion or modification of documents until the hold is released. This directly addresses the requirement to prevent deletion of case-related documents during an ongoing investigation.

Question 4

A company wants to automatically apply a 'Confidential' sensitivity label to any document that contains a credit card number, and also encrypt the document as part of the label. Which two components must be configured to achieve this? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

A sensitivity label with encryption settings. Option A is correct because a sensitivity label must include encryption settings to automatically encrypt documents when the label is applied. The encryption is configured within the label's protection settings, which defines how content is protected (e.g., with a predefined template or user-defined permissions). Without encryption configured in the label, the automatic application would only assign the label without encrypting the document.

Question 5

A company must retain all customer contracts for 10 years to comply with industry regulations. After 10 years, the contracts must be permanently deleted. Which Microsoft Purview solution should be used to automate this process?

Accepted Answer

Data Lifecycle Management. Data Lifecycle Management (DLM) in Microsoft Purview is the correct solution because it allows you to define retention labels and policies that automatically retain contracts for a specified period (10 years) and then trigger a permanent deletion disposition review or direct deletion. This aligns directly with the regulatory requirement to retain data for a fixed duration and then dispose of it securely.

Question 6

A healthcare organization uses Microsoft 365 and wants to prevent users from sending emails that contain patient health information (PHI) to external recipients. Which Microsoft Purview solution should they implement?

Accepted Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP). Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is the correct solution because it is specifically designed to detect and prevent the unauthorized sharing of sensitive data, such as patient health information (PHI), via email and other channels. DLP policies can be configured with sensitive information types (e.g., HIPAA-defined PHI patterns) to automatically block or warn users when they attempt to send such data to external recipients.

Question 7

A multinational corporation must retain all financial records for 7 years and then permanently delete them. The compliance officer wants to ensure that even a global administrator cannot modify or delete the retention policy. Which Microsoft Purview solution and configuration should they use?

Accepted Answer

Data Lifecycle Management with a preservation lock. C is correct because Data Lifecycle Management with a preservation lock allows an organization to apply a retention policy that cannot be modified, deleted, or turned off by any administrator, including a global administrator. This ensures financial records are retained for exactly 7 years and then permanently deleted, meeting the compliance officer's requirement for immutable retention.

Question 8

A company is subject to a legal investigation and must preserve all email communications related to the case for an indefinite period, even if users try to delete them. The compliance officer needs a solution that can place a hold on specific user mailboxes and prevent any permanent deletion of relevant content. Which Microsoft Purview feature should be used?

Accepted Answer

Litigation hold. Litigation hold is the correct feature because it places a hold on an entire mailbox, preserving all content including deleted items and versions, and prevents permanent deletion by users or automated processes. Unlike retention labels or policies, litigation hold applies to the entire mailbox and is designed specifically for legal investigations where indefinite preservation is required.

Question 9

A financial services organization needs to prevent communication between its research analysts and investment bankers to comply with regulatory requirements. Which Microsoft Purview solution should the compliance team implement?

Accepted Answer

Information Barriers. Information Barriers (IB) in Microsoft Purview is specifically designed to prevent communication and collaboration between certain user groups to comply with regulatory requirements, such as those in financial services that require separation between research analysts and investment bankers. IB policies enforce restrictions on Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive to block unauthorized communication and file sharing, directly addressing the need to avoid conflicts of interest.

Question 10

A financial institution uses Microsoft 365 and must ensure that Microsoft support engineers cannot access the institution's content (e.g., Exchange Online mailboxes, SharePoint sites) without explicit approval from the institution's compliance officer. The compliance officer needs to review and approve or reject each access request. Which Microsoft Purview feature should be configured?

Accepted Answer

Customer Lockbox. Customer Lockbox is the correct feature because it provides a controlled access approval process for Microsoft support engineers to access customer content. When a support case requires access to Exchange Online mailboxes or SharePoint sites, Customer Lockbox ensures the request is sent to the institution's compliance officer for explicit approval or rejection before access is granted, meeting the requirement for explicit approval.
