A records manager finds paper onboarding forms and scanned copies that contain government ID numbers. The retention period has expired, no legal hold exists, and the forms are no longer needed. Which three actions should occur before disposal? Select three.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Best answer
Verify the retention schedule and confirm that no legal hold or exception applies.
You should never destroy records until retention and legal obligations are checked and documented.
B
Distractor review
Move the forms to an unsecured archive so they can be retrieved later if needed.
An unsecured archive keeps sensitive records exposed and does not satisfy secure disposal requirements.
C
Best answer
Destroy the paper copies with an approved secure method such as cross-cut shredding or pulping.
Secure physical destruction prevents reconstruction and aligns with standard records disposal practices.
D
Best answer
Securely delete the electronic copies from active storage and follow backup-retention rules for residual copies.
Electronic records must be removed from active systems using approved methods while backups follow defined retention rules.
E
Distractor review
Keep personal copies because auditors might ask informally later.
Personal retention bypasses controls and creates an unnecessary privacy and compliance exposure.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this SY0-701 question test?
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Verify the retention schedule and confirm that no legal hold or exception applies. — Proper disposal starts with confirming that the retention schedule has expired and that no legal hold or exception prevents destruction. After that, paper records should be destroyed using an approved secure method, and electronic copies should be removed from active storage through approved deletion processes while backup retention rules are followed. This protects sensitive identity data and ensures the organization can show it handled records according to policy and regulatory requirements. Why others are wrong: Unsecured archives and personal copies keep sensitive information around without a valid business need. Those choices increase privacy exposure and can create compliance problems. The secure path is to verify the record status first, then destroy paper and electronic copies using the organization’s approved methods.
