Company-owned tablets run both business apps and approved personal apps. Which two controls best keep company data separated and support selective wipe? Select two.
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
Mobile device management with a work profile or container for corporate data.
A managed work profile or container separates business content from personal apps and files. This is a standard mobile security approach when one device must support both corporate and personal use.
B
Best answer
Selective remote wipe of only the managed corporate container.
Selective wipe removes corporate data without erasing the user’s personal content. That makes it a good fit for bring-your-own-style usage or company devices with approved personal apps.
C
Distractor review
Allow users to install any app if they promise not to open work files.
User promises are not technical enforcement. Unrestricted app installation increases the chance of malware, data leakage, and policy violations on the device.
D
Distractor review
Store corporate files in the personal photo gallery for easier backup.
Mixing corporate data with personal storage defeats separation and makes selective wipe impossible. It also increases the chance of unintended sharing through consumer apps.
E
Distractor review
Disable screen locks so users can access business apps faster.
Disabling screen locks lowers device security and increases the risk of unauthorized access. Fast access is not worth sacrificing basic protection on mobile devices.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this SY0-701 question test?
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Mobile device management with a work profile or container for corporate data. — Mobile device management with a work profile or container is the right architectural control because it keeps business and personal data separated on the same device. Selective remote wipe then gives the organization a way to remove only the managed corporate content when a device is lost, reassigned, or compromised. Together, these controls support both usability and data protection. Why others are wrong: Relying on user promises or putting corporate files in personal storage does not enforce separation. Disabling screen locks directly weakens endpoint protection and increases exposure if the tablet is lost or stolen. The best answer pair uses technical controls that actually isolate and remove corporate data.
