AZ-400 Develop a security and compliance plan Practice Question
This AZ-400 practice question tests your understanding of develop a security and compliance plan. 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.
Your organization uses Azure Boards and requires that all changes to work items in the 'Security' area path be audited. Which solution ensures that any modification to a work item triggers an audit event in Microsoft Sentinel?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure Azure DevOps Audit Streaming to send logs to Microsoft Sentinel
Option A is correct because Azure DevOps audit logs can be streamed to Microsoft Sentinel via the Azure DevOps data connector. Option B is wrong because service hooks don't directly integrate with Sentinel. Option C is wrong because Microsoft Purview is for data governance, not real-time auditing. Option D is wrong because export to CSV is a manual process.
Key principle: OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✓
Configure Azure DevOps Audit Streaming to send logs to Microsoft Sentinel
Why this is correct
Azure DevOps supports streaming audit events to Microsoft Sentinel for real-time monitoring.
Enable Microsoft Purview to scan Azure DevOps and detect changes
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Purview is for data governance, not real-time auditing of work items.
✗
Export Azure DevOps audit logs to CSV and import to Sentinel daily
Why it's wrong here
CSV export is manual and not real-time.
✗
Create a service hook in Azure DevOps that calls a logic app to create incidents in Sentinel
Why it's wrong here
Service hooks trigger actions but don't directly send audit logs to Sentinel.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: OSPF can fail even when IP connectivity looks correct
OSPF neighbour formation depends on matching areas, timers, network type, authentication and passive-interface behaviour. Do not choose an answer only because the devices can ping.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
OSPF questions usually test the details that control adjacency and route selection. Read the neighbour state, area, router ID and interface configuration before deciding what is wrong.
KKey Concepts to Remember
OSPF neighbours must agree on key parameters.
Router ID selection can affect neighbour relationships and LSDB output.
OSPF cost influences the preferred path.
A route can appear in OSPF information but not become the installed route.
TExam Day Tips
→Check area mismatch first when OSPF adjacency fails.
→Review passive interfaces when a network is advertised but no neighbour forms.
→Use show ip ospf neighbor and show ip route clues carefully.
Key takeaway
OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
