A compliance officer needs to ensure that any document containing passport numbers automatically gets a 'Highly Confidential' label and is encrypted when saved in SharePoint. The labeling should occur without any user interaction. 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

Best answer

Auto-labeling policy for sensitivity labels

Auto-labeling policies can automatically apply labels based on sensitive information types (e.g., passport numbers) without user intervention.

B

Distractor review

Manual labeling using the Office apps

Manual labeling requires users to select a label, which does not meet the requirement for automatic labeling.

C

Distractor review

Retention labels with DLP policy

Retention labels manage retention but do not automatically classify or encrypt content based on sensitive information.

D

Distractor review

Trainable classifiers

Trainable classifiers identify content for classification, but the actual automatic labeling is done via auto-labeling policies, not classifiers alone.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
