MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question
A company wants to prevent corporate data from being copied from managed apps to personal apps on iOS devices. Which Intune policy should the administrator configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse App Protection Policies (which control data at the app layer) with Device Compliance Policies (which control device access), leading them to select the wrong option when the question focuses on data leakage prevention between apps.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
App protection policy
App Protection Policies (APP) in Microsoft Intune are specifically designed to manage and protect corporate data within applications, regardless of the device enrollment state. On iOS, you can configure data transfer settings such as 'Allow app to transfer data to other apps' to restrict copying corporate data from managed apps to personal apps, using the iOS native inter-app control mechanisms like the Open-In management feature.
