A financial services company must prevent users from accidentally sharing sensitive customer data externally. They want to block sharing of any document containing a credit card number via email or SharePoint. What combination of Microsoft 365 compliance solutions should they use?

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

Sensitivity labels and Microsoft Purview Information Protection (Microsoft Purview Information Protection)

Labels classify content but require DLP to enforce blocking actions on sharing.

B

Best answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies

DLP policies detect sensitive data and block sharing actions automatically across services.

C

Distractor review

Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager

Compliance Manager assesses compliance posture, does not block data sharing.

D

Distractor review

Exchange Online Protection (EOP) and Microsoft Defender for Microsoft 365

These protect against threats like malware and phishing, not against accidental sharing of sensitive data.

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: Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies — Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies can detect sensitive information like credit card numbers and block sharing across Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Sensitivity labels classify and protect content, but DLP enforces actions. Microsoft Purview Information Protection can label, but DLP is the enforcement mechanism. This question requires understanding that DLP is the primary tool for preventing accidental sharing. Sensitivity labels alone won't block sharing without DLP policies.
