Question 5mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company ingests IoT sensor data into Azure Blob Storage. Data is written frequently and is accessed rarely after the first 24 hours.

Question 7hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company uses Microsoft Entra ID B2B to collaborate with external vendors. They want to enforce that external users must use multi-factor authentication (MFA) and access company resources only from compliant devices (e.g., managed by Intune). They also want to require a session timeout of 1 hour. Which combination of Microsoft Entra ID features should they use?
Question 8hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company needs to store large amounts of unstructured data (log files) for analytics. The data is accessed frequently for the first 30 days, then occasionally for the next 90 days, and rarely after that but must be retained for 7 years for compliance.

They also need to ensure data is encrypted at rest and immutability to prevent deletion or modification during the retention period. Which Azure storage solution should they choose?
Question 11hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company stores petabytes of image files for a content delivery network. The images are accessed frequently for the first week, then rarely afterward.

Which storage solution and tier strategy should they recommend?
Question 12mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company uses Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft Entra ID) and Microsoft Intune.

The solution must apply to all cloud app access seamlessly. Which Microsoft Entra ID feature should they configure?
Question 13easymultiple choice
Full question →A company uses Microsoft Entra ID. They need to automatically block sign-ins from users whose accounts have been identified as high-risk for compromise. They also want users to be prompted to reset their password when the risk is detected. Which Microsoft Entra ID feature should they use?
Question 14hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company uses Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft Entra ID) and Microsoft Intune. They want to block access to all corporate cloud applications (e.g., Office 365, Azure portal) from devices that are not enrolled in Intune or do not meet the company's compliance policies. The solution must work seamlessly for all cloud apps without requiring per-app configuration. Which Microsoft Entra ID feature should they configure?
Question 15mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company stores large amounts of log data in Azure Blob Storage. Logs are accessed frequently for the first 30 days, then rarely accessed afterward, but must be retained for 7 years for compliance. The company wants to minimize storage costs. They need to configure automatic data movement and retention policies. Which combination of Azure Blob Storage access tiers and lifecycle management policy should they use?
Question 16mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company uses Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft Entra ID) for identity management. They want to automatically detect sign-in risks such as sign-ins from unfamiliar locations, anonymous IP addresses, or leaked credentials. Based on the risk level, they want to apply different controls: for low-risk sign-ins, show a message but allow access; for medium-risk sign-ins, require multi-factor authentication (MFA); for high-risk sign-ins, block the sign-in. They also need to receive a weekly summary report of risk events. Which Microsoft Entra ID feature should they configure?
Question 17mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company uses Microsoft Entra ID and wants to enforce that all users must use multi-factor authentication (MFA) when accessing sensitive applications. However, they want to exclude users when connecting from the corporate office IP range and only allow access from devices that are compliant with Intune policies. Which Microsoft Entra ID feature should they use to create this policy?
Question 18mediummultiple choice
Full question →A global e-commerce platform uses Azure Cosmos DB for its product catalog. The application requires multi-region writes to provide low-latency updates from any geographic location. Two users may update the same product item concurrently, so the solution must automatically resolve conflicts. For real-time inventory checks, reads must be strongly consistent, while product description reads can be eventually consistent. Which Cosmos DB configuration should they choose?
Question 19easymultiple choice
Full question →A company uses Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft Entra ID). They need to automatically detect sign-ins from users with leaked credentials and prompt those users to reset their password during the next sign-in. Which Microsoft Entra ID feature should they enable?
Question 20mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company uses Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft Entra ID). They want to automatically detect sign-in attempts from anonymous IP addresses and sign-ins from unfamiliar locations. When such a risk is detected, they want to block the sign-in or require multi-factor authentication (MFA) in real time. Additionally, they need a dashboard that provides a summary of risk events and allows investigation. Which Microsoft Entra ID feature should they use?

Frequently asked questions
- What does the AZ-305 exam test about IAM Policy?
- IAM Policy questions test whether you can apply the concept in context, not just recognise a definition.
- How should I use these practice questions?
- Select your answer before revealing the explanation. Then read why each option is right or wrong — this active recall approach builds retention far faster than re-reading notes.
- Can I practise just IAM Policy questions in a focused session?
- Yes — the session launcher on this page draws every question from the IAM Policy domain. Use a 10-question session first to gauge your baseline, then move to 20 or 30 once the weak spots are clear.
- Where can I practise other AZ-305 topics?
- Use the topic links above to move to related areas, or go back to the AZ-305 question bank to see all topics.
- Are these real exam questions or dumps?
- These are original practice questions written to test the same concepts the AZ-305 exam covers. They are not copied from any real exam or dump site.
