SC-100 Practice Question: Design security operations, identity, and compliance capabilities

This SC-100 practice question tests your understanding of design security operations, identity, and compliance capabilities. 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.

Your organization uses Microsoft Purview. You need to design a solution that discovers and classifies sensitive data across Microsoft 365 services. Which two services should you include in your data map? (Choose TWO.)

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

SharePoint Online

The correct answers are B (SharePoint Online) and D (OneDrive for Business). Microsoft Purview Data Map can scan SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business to discover and classify sensitive data, as they are Microsoft 365 services that commonly store sensitive documents. Power BI (A) is a Microsoft 365 service but is not typically scanned for sensitive data classification in the same way; it is primarily used for analytics and reporting. Azure SQL Database (C) and Azure Blob Storage (E) are Azure services, not Microsoft 365 services, and are not part of a Microsoft 365 data map.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Power BI

    Why it's wrong here

    While Power BI is a Microsoft 365 service, it is not typically a source for sensitive data classification in the same context as SharePoint and OneDrive.

  • SharePoint Online

    Why this is correct

    SharePoint is a key source for sensitive documents.

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 media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
