A healthcare provider must ensure that patient health information (PHI) is not accidentally shared outside the organization. They want to automatically detect if an email contains PHI (such as diagnosis codes) and block it from being sent externally. Additionally, the sender should receive a notification explaining the block. Which Microsoft Purview solution should be configured?

A healthcare provider must ensure that patient health information (PHI) is not accidentally shared outside the organization. They want to automatically detect if an email contains PHI (such as diagnosis codes) and block it from being sent externally. Additionally, the sender should receive a notification explaining the block. Which Microsoft Purview solution should be configured?

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

Microsoft Purview Information Protection

Incorrect. Information Protection focuses on classifying and protecting data with labels and encryption, but does not automatically block outbound emails based on content.

B

Best answer

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Correct. DLP policies can identify sensitive information types (e.g., health records) and enforce actions like blocking the email and sending a policy tip to the sender.

C

Distractor review

Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management

Incorrect. Insider Risk Management detects patterns of risky user behavior but does not automatically block outbound communications based on content.

D

Distractor review

Microsoft Purview Audit

Incorrect. Audit logs user and admin activities but does not prevent data leakage through email.

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.
