A multinational corporation must comply with GDPR. They need to ensure that personal data of EU residents is retained for a specific period and then securely deleted. Additionally, they must be able to respond to data subject access requests (DSARs) within 30 days by finding and exporting relevant data. Which two Microsoft Purview solutions should they use together? (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

Retention policies

Retention policies can automatically retain personal data for a defined period and then delete it, meeting GDPR retention and erasure obligations.

B

Distractor review

Data Lifecycle Management (via sensitivity labels)

Data Lifecycle Management is implemented through labels and auto-labeling policies; while it assists in lifecycle management, retention policies are the primary solution for automatic retention and deletion across workloads.

C

Best answer

eDiscovery (Premium)

eDiscovery (Premium) allows you to search, hold, and export data from multiple sources, which is essential for fulfilling DSARs within the required timeframe.

D

Distractor review

Audit (Standard)

Audit logs user activity but does not provide the search and export capabilities needed to respond to DSARs.

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: Retention policies — Retention policies are part of Microsoft Purview and allow you to define how long data is kept and automatically delete it after the retention period, meeting GDPR retention requirements. eDiscovery (Premium) enables searching across all Microsoft 365 workloads for content related to a data subject, and exporting it to fulfill DSARs. Data Lifecycle Management is not a separate solution; it is a label-based approach often used alongside retention policies. Audit (Standard) is helpful for tracking but not essential for retention or DSAR response.
