PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
A hospital uses Power Apps to manage patient intake forms. The app stores data in Microsoft Dataverse. The security policy requires that patient health information (PHI) be encrypted at rest and in transit. The environment is already configured with default Dataverse settings. The IT admin needs to ensure compliance. What should the admin do?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
No further action is needed; Dataverse encrypts data at rest and in transit by default.
Dataverse provides encryption at rest by default (using Microsoft-managed keys) and encryption in transit (TLS). No additional configuration is needed unless the organization requires customer-managed keys, which is not mentioned.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable customer-managed encryption keys for Dataverse.
Why it's wrong here
This is optional and not required for encryption; default encryption is already in place.
- ✓
No further action is needed; Dataverse encrypts data at rest and in transit by default.
Why this is correct
Dataverse provides encryption by default, meeting the requirements.
- ✗
Configure a VPN for all access to the environment.
Why it's wrong here
VPN is not required for encryption; Dataverse uses TLS.
- ✗
Use Power Automate to encrypt data before storing it in Dataverse.
Why it's wrong here
This is unnecessary and could interfere with functionality.
