Quick Answer
The correct answer is Azure AI Content Safety and Azure Computer Vision (OCR). This pairing works because Computer Vision first extracts all visible text from the image using its optical character recognition capabilities, and then Content Safety analyzes that extracted text to detect and redact PII from images containing text, such as names, addresses, or phone numbers. On the Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate AI-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of how Azure services can be composed for a multi-step content moderation pipeline—a common scenario where a single service cannot handle both extraction and redaction. A frequent trap is choosing Azure Cognitive Search or Form Recognizer, which lack native PII redaction logic, or assuming Content Safety alone can read images. Remember the memory tip: “OCR sees the text, Content Safety cleans the text”—the two services work sequentially, not interchangeably.
This AI-102 practice question tests your understanding of implement image and video processing solutions. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which TWO Azure services can be used to detect and redact PII from images containing text? (Choose two.)
Azure Form Recognizer.
Why wrong: Extracts data from forms, not general PII redaction.
Azure Video Analyzer for Media.
Why wrong: Primarily for video insights, not image PII redaction.
Azure AI Content Safety.
Can detect and redact sensitive content.
Azure Computer Vision (OCR).
OCR extracts text; can be used to detect PII.
Azure Cognitive Search.
Why wrong: Search does not process images.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Azure AI Content Safety.
Azure AI Content Safety can detect and redact PII from images containing text by analyzing the extracted text for sensitive information such as personal identifiers and applying redaction. Azure Computer Vision (OCR) provides the underlying text extraction capability, and when combined with Content Safety's PII detection, enables end-to-end redaction of PII from images.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Azure Form Recognizer.
Why it's wrong here

Azure Video Analyzer for Media.
Why it's wrong here
Primarily for video insights, not image PII redaction.
Azure AI Content Safety.
Why this is correct

Why it's wrong here
Search does not process images.
Common exam traps
The trap here is that candidates may confuse Azure Form Recognizer's document analysis with general image text processing, overlooking that Content Safety is the specific service for PII detection and redaction, while Computer Vision provides the OCR foundation.
Detailed technical explanation
Azure AI Content Safety uses pre-trained models to identify PII categories such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers in text extracted via OCR. The redaction process can be configured to mask or replace detected PII tokens, and the service supports batch processing for large-scale compliance workflows, such as redacting medical records or legal documents scanned from images.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
An e-commerce site experiences heavy traffic on Black Friday and near-zero traffic during off-peak weeks. Rather than provisioning permanent large VMs, the team uses auto-scaling groups that add capacity automatically under load and reduce it overnight. Questions like this test whether you understand elasticity, availability zones, and cloud compute scaling patterns.
