A compliance officer wants to automatically encrypt outgoing emails containing credit card numbers and also prevent recipients from forwarding or copying the content. Which Microsoft Purview solution should be applied?
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
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy with encryption
DLP policies can detect sensitive data and block or notify, but they cannot enforce encryption with restrictions like 'do not forward'. Encryption via DLP is limited and does not provide the granular rights management needed.
B
Best answer
Sensitivity label with encryption and rights management
Sensitivity labels can automatically apply encryption and set usage rights such as 'view only' or 'do not forward', meeting the requirement.
C
Distractor review
Microsoft Information Bar
There is no feature called 'Microsoft Information Bar' in Microsoft Purview. This is a distractor.
D
Distractor review
Azure Information Protection unified labeling client
This client is used to manually apply labels, but the automatic enforcement with encryption and rights management is done through sensitivity label policies in Microsoft Purview, not just the client.
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.

FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this MS-900 question test?
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Sensitivity label with encryption and rights management — Sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview can be configured to apply encryption and rights management (e.g., prevent forwarding, copying) automatically based on detecting sensitive data. DLP can trigger a policy tip or block the email, but it does not apply encryption with usage restrictions. The Azure Information Protection unified labeling client is a tool for labeling, but the solution is sensitivity labels.
