Full question →hardmulti selectObjective-mapped
A company is evaluating a multi-tenant SaaS document platform. The security team wants to reduce the impact of another tenant’s breach and ensure employees who leave are removed from the app within minutes. Which two requirements should the team prioritize? 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
Require the provider to document logical tenant isolation and separate customer encryption keys.
Logical tenant isolation helps prevent one tenant from reading or influencing another tenant’s data. Separate customer encryption keys further reduce cross-tenant risk because encrypted content is not protected by a single shared key set. Together, these requirements are useful when evaluating multi-tenant SaaS risk and selecting a provider with stronger separation controls.
B
Distractor review
Use a shared local administrator account for the app so offboarding is easier.
Shared local accounts prevent accountability and make rapid, reliable offboarding much harder.
C
Distractor review
Allow anonymous public links as the default method for external collaboration.
Anonymous sharing increases exposure and conflicts with the goal of reducing tenant and user risk.
D
Best answer
Integrate the SaaS with the corporate IdP using federation and SCIM lifecycle automation.
Federation centralizes authentication and lets the company enforce MFA and access policies from the identity provider. SCIM automation supports fast, consistent account provisioning and deprovisioning, which is exactly what the offboarding requirement calls for. This combination reduces manual cleanup delays and helps ensure access is removed within minutes rather than days.
E
Distractor review
Rely on manual quarterly cleanup tickets to disable former employees.
Quarterly manual cleanup is slow and leaves unnecessary access active for too long.
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: Require the provider to document logical tenant isolation and separate customer encryption keys. — The best requirements are stronger tenant isolation and automated identity lifecycle control. Tenant isolation and separate encryption keys reduce the chance that another customer’s compromise affects your data. Federation with SCIM gives the organization fast, centralized account removal when employment ends, instead of relying on slow manual processes. Those two controls directly address both the multi-tenant risk and the offboarding requirement. Why others are wrong: Shared local accounts, anonymous links, and manual cleanup all increase exposure or delay revocation. They do not help with the stated goal of rapid termination and reduced cross-tenant impact. The strongest solution combines provider-side isolation with customer-controlled identity automation through the corporate IdP.
