PL-900 Practice Question: Describe the business value of Microsoft Power Platform
A global organization wants to standardize expense reporting across subsidiaries using Power Platform. They require integration with Microsoft Entra ID for identity and must ensure data residency compliance. Which TWO capabilities should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
The PL-900 exam often tests the misconception that Power BI or AI Builder are responsible for compliance features, when in fact data residency is enforced at the Dataverse environment level and identity is handled by Entra ID, not by analytics or AI tools.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Dataverse environments with specific regions
Dataverse environments can be created in specific geographic regions to ensure data residency compliance by storing data at rest within that region. Integration with Microsoft Entra ID is inherent to Dataverse, which uses Entra ID as its identity provider for authentication and authorization, meeting the requirement for standardized identity management across subsidiaries. Additionally, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies enforce data residency by restricting data sharing across connectors and preventing data from leaving the designated region, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
