A compliance administrator needs to ensure that any document containing a patient's health information (e.g., medical record number) is automatically encrypted and restricted to authorized users. The encryption should be enforced regardless of where the document is saved (SharePoint, OneDrive, or email). Which Microsoft Purview feature should they configure?

A compliance administrator needs to ensure that any document containing a patient's health information (e.g., medical record number) is automatically encrypted and restricted to authorized users. The encryption should be enforced regardless of where the document is saved (SharePoint, OneDrive, or email). Which Microsoft Purview feature should they configure?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Information Rights Management (IRM)

IRM can protect documents by restricting actions, but it does not automatically classify or label content based on sensitive data detection.

B

Best answer

Auto-labeling policies with sensitivity labels

Auto-labeling can automatically detect sensitive data (like health info) and apply a sensitivity label that enforces encryption and access restrictions.

C

Distractor review

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies

DLP detects and prevents sharing of sensitive data but does not automatically encrypt documents at rest.

D

Distractor review

Retention labels

Retention labels are used to keep or delete content for compliance and do not apply encryption or restrictions.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this MS-900 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Auto-labeling policies with sensitivity labels — Auto-labeling policies in Microsoft Purview Information Protection can scan content for sensitive information using built-in or custom sensitive info types, and automatically apply a sensitivity label. This label can be configured to enforce encryption and permissions, meeting the requirement for automatic, consistent protection.
