- A
Sign-in risk policy that can block risky sign-ins.
Sign-in risk policies are part of Identity Protection.
- B
Risk detections such as leaked credentials and anonymous IP address.
Why wrong: Risk detections are part of Identity Protection, but the question asks for features; risk detections are not policies but reports. However, they are a feature. I'll keep A and B correct. Actually, typical features are risk policies and risk detections. So A and B are policies, C is detections. Both policies and detections are features. But the question says 'features', so A and B are policies, which are features. I'll set A and B as correct.
- C
Conditional Access policies integration.
Why wrong: Conditional Access is separate but integrated.
- D
User risk policy that can block sign-ins or require password change.
Identity Protection includes user risk policies.
- E
Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) for identities.
Why wrong: ATP is part of Microsoft Defender for Identity.
Quick Answer
The correct answer is the user risk policy that can block sign-ins or require a password change, along with the sign-in risk policy that enforces actions like blocking access or requiring multi-factor authentication. These are core features of Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection because the service continuously analyzes user and sign-in behavior to detect anomalous activities, assigning risk levels that trigger automated remediation policies. On the Microsoft 365 Administrator MS-102 exam, this topic tests your understanding of how Identity Protection operationalizes risk detection—not just what the features are, but how they enforce conditional access. A common trap is confusing risk policies with standard Conditional Access policies; remember that Identity Protection policies are specifically tied to risk detections, not just device or location rules. Memory tip: think “risk triggers action”—user risk forces password change, sign-in risk forces MFA or block.
MS-102 Practice Question: Implement and manage Microsoft Entra identity and access
This MS-102 practice question tests your understanding of implement and manage microsoft entra identity and access. 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 of the following are features of Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection? (Choose two.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Sign-in risk policy that can block risky sign-ins.
Option A is correct because Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection includes a sign-in risk policy that can automatically block risky sign-ins based on real-time risk levels (e.g., high, medium, low). This policy evaluates sign-in risk detections and enforces actions such as blocking access or requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) without manual intervention.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates confuse the risk detection types (like leaked credentials) with the policy features that act on those detections, leading them to select Option B as a feature instead of recognizing that the actual features are the sign-in risk policy and user risk policy (Options A and D).
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Identity Protection uses machine learning models to calculate sign-in risk and user risk in real time, with risk levels (low, medium, high) that trigger policies. The sign-in risk policy can block access or require MFA, while the user risk policy can force a password reset when a user's risk score exceeds a threshold. These policies are evaluated during authentication and can be configured with granular conditions like location or application.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
