A healthcare organization must protect patient health information (PHI) from being accidentally shared externally via email. They need to automatically block emails containing medical record numbers from being sent outside the organization and also encrypt any email that does contain PHI when it is allowed. Which two Microsoft Purview solutions should they combine? (Choose two.)

A healthcare organization must protect patient health information (PHI) from being accidentally shared externally via email. They need to automatically block emails containing medical record numbers from being sent outside the organization and also encrypt any email that does contain PHI when it is allowed. Which two Microsoft Purview solutions should they combine? (Choose two.)

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

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

DLP policies can scan emails and documents for sensitive data (e.g., medical record numbers) and automatically block sharing or show policy tips. This is the correct solution for blocking external sharing of PHI.

B

Distractor review

Microsoft Purview eDiscovery

eDiscovery is used to search, preserve, and export content for legal investigations. It does not prevent the sharing of sensitive data or encrypt emails. DLP and Message Encryption are needed.

C

Best answer

Microsoft Purview Message Encryption

Message Encryption (OME) allows users to send encrypted emails, and can be automatically applied through DLP rules. When an email contains PHI, encryption ensures the content is protected in transit and at rest.

D

Distractor review

Microsoft Purview Audit (Standard)

Audit logging records user and admin activities in Microsoft 365 but does not actively block or encrypt sensitive data. It is useful for investigation after an incident, not for prevention.

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: Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) — Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies can detect sensitive information like medical record numbers and block external sharing. Message Encryption ensures that emails containing sensitive data are encrypted before delivery. eDiscovery is used for content search and holds, not prevention. Audit logs track activities but do not prevent or encrypt.
