- A
Create environment-level DLP policies that block the Dataverse connector in each environment, then add the Dataverse connector back as a business connector only for the local instance using endpoint filtering.
Endpoint filtering allows specifying allowed URLs, restricting connections to the local Dataverse instance.
- B
Use Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access policies to block cross-region access to Dataverse.
Why wrong: Conditional Access controls user sign-in, not service-to-service connections.
- C
Create a tenant-level DLP policy that blocks the Dataverse connector for all environments.
Why wrong: This blocks all Dataverse connections, including legitimate local ones.
- D
Enable audit logging and create a Power Automate flow to notify administrators when cross-region access is detected.
Why wrong: This detects but does not prevent cross-region access.
Block Cross-Region Dataverse Connections: Environment-Level DLP with Endpoint Filtering
This PL-900 practice question tests your understanding of manage the microsoft power platform environment. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
You are the Power Platform administrator for a large multinational corporation. The company has a single Microsoft Entra ID tenant with users in North America, Europe, and Asia. Due to data residency regulations, each region must store its data within its geographic boundaries. The company has three production environments: NA-Prod (East US), EU-Prod (West Europe), and ASIA-Prod (Southeast Asia). Each production environment has a corresponding sandbox environment for development. Recently, the security team discovered that a developer in Europe accidentally accessed customer data from the NA-Prod environment by using a connection reference that pointed to the North American Dataverse instance. To prevent cross-region data access, you need to implement a solution that blocks any Power Automate flow or Power Apps canvas app from connecting to Dataverse instances in other regions. You must also ensure that developers can still use non-Dataverse connectors (e.g., SharePoint, Office 365) that may be global. What should you 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
Create environment-level DLP policies that block the Dataverse connector in each environment, then add the Dataverse connector back as a business connector only for the local instance using endpoint filtering.
Option A is correct because environment-level DLP policies can block the Dataverse connector, and using endpoint filtering allows you to whitelist only the local Dataverse instance, preventing cross-region connections while still enabling non-Dataverse connectors. Option B is incorrect because Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access policies control user authentication and access to applications, not the connections used by Power Automate flows or Power Apps. Option C is incorrect because a tenant-level DLP policy that blocks the Dataverse connector would prevent all environments from using Dataverse entirely, including legitimate local usage. Option D is incorrect because audit logging and notification flows only detect and report cross-region access after it occurs; they do not block it.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
