PL-900 Practice Question: Describe the business value of Microsoft Power Platform
An organization is using Microsoft Power Platform to build a compliance solution. They need to ensure that sensitive data in Dataverse is encrypted at rest and that access is audited. Which feature should they enable?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies with data protection at rest, but DLP only governs data movement and does not provide encryption or auditing of stored data.
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
✓
Customer-managed encryption key (CMK) and Audit logging
Customer-managed encryption key (CMK) provides control over the encryption key used to encrypt data at rest in Dataverse, ensuring sensitive data is encrypted with a key managed by the organization. Audit logging records all access and changes to data, enabling compliance auditing. Together, they directly address the requirements for encryption at rest and access auditing.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies
Why it's wrong here
DLP policies control data flow between connectors, not encryption or auditing.
- ✓
Customer-managed encryption key (CMK) and Audit logging
Why this is correct
CMK allows the organization to manage encryption keys, and audit logging tracks access to data.
- ✗
Power Apps business rules
Why it's wrong here
Business rules enforce data validation and logic, not security compliance.
- ✗
Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access policies
Why it's wrong here
Conditional Access controls access based on conditions but does not encrypt data at rest or audit access within Dataverse.
