MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question
Contoso has iOS/iPadOS devices managed by Intune. They need to prevent users from installing apps from outside the Apple App Store and ensure that devices with a jailbreak are blocked from accessing corporate email. Which two policies should they combine?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse App Protection Policies (MAM) with Device Compliance Policies, thinking MAM can block jailbroken devices or sideloaded apps, but MAM only protects app data and does not evaluate device-level jailbreak or app installation sources.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Device compliance policy and Conditional Access
To prevent installation of apps from outside the Apple App Store, you need a Device Compliance Policy that includes the 'require non-removable app store' setting (which blocks sideloading). To block jailbroken devices from accessing corporate email, you combine that compliance policy with a Conditional Access policy that requires the device to be marked as compliant. Only the combination of Device Compliance Policy and Conditional Access enforces both restrictions at the device level before granting access to corporate resources.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Device compliance policy and Conditional Access
Why this is correct
Device compliance policy detects jailbreak; Conditional Access blocks noncompliant devices.
- ✗
Windows Autopilot and Intune enrollment
Why it's wrong here
Autopilot is for Windows devices, not iOS.
- ✗
Device configuration profile and Microsoft Defender XDR
Why it's wrong here
Device configuration profiles set settings but don't detect jailbreak; Defender XDR doesn't manage iOS jailbreak detection.
- ✗
App protection policy and Conditional Access
Why it's wrong here
App protection policies manage data protection, not jailbreak detection.
