Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
1. Classify data, 2. Create policy, 3. Define match condition, 4. Set action, 5. Enable and test
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because data classification must be done first to know what to protect, then the policy is created, followed by defining the match condition (e.g., regex for credit card numbers), setting the action (e.g., block or encrypt), and finally enabling and testing the policy.
- ✗
1. Create policy, 2. Classify data, 3. Define match condition, 4. Set action, 5. Enable and test
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the policy should be created based on the data classification, not before. Creating a policy without knowing the data types can lead to ineffective rules.
- ✗
1. Define match condition, 2. Classify data, 3. Create policy, 4. Set action, 5. Enable and test
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the match condition (e.g., regex patterns) must be defined within the policy after it is created, and data classification must come before policy creation to identify what conditions are needed.
- ✗
1. Classify data, 2. Create policy, 3. Enable and test, 4. Define match condition, 5. Set action
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because enabling and testing should be the final step after defining the match condition and setting the action. Otherwise, the policy would be incomplete and might not function as intended.
