Quick Answer
The answer is jailbreak detection and minimum OS version. These two settings are required because an iOS compliance policy in Intune must enforce a baseline security posture: the minimum OS version setting blocks outdated devices with known vulnerabilities from accessing corporate resources, while jailbreak detection identifies compromised devices that have bypassed iOS security controls, posing a direct risk to data integrity. On the Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect exam, this tests your understanding of how Intune compliance policies map to conditional access—a common trap is confusing device compliance with configuration profiles, or forgetting that jailbreak detection is a separate toggle from OS version requirements. A useful memory tip is to think of the two pillars of iOS device trust: “Patch it, don’t crack it”—the minimum OS version ensures patching, and jailbreak detection prevents cracking.
This SC-100 practice question tests your understanding of design security operations, identity, and compliance capabilities. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. 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 Intune for mobile device management. You need to configure a compliance policy for iOS devices that requires the device to be jailbreak-detected and have a minimum OS version. Which two settings should you configure in the compliance policy? (Choose two.)
Clue words in this question
Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.
Clue: "minimum / minimize"
Why it matters: Asks for the least resource use — fewest addresses, smallest subnet, lowest overhead. Eliminate over-provisioned options even if they would technically work.
Require passcode
Why wrong: Requires a passcode, not jailbreak or OS version.
Minimum OS version
Ensures the device runs at least a specified version.
Device encryption
Why wrong: Checks encryption status, not jailbreak or OS version.
Jailbreak detection
Detects if the device is jailbroken.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Minimum OS version
B is correct because the compliance policy must specify a minimum OS version to ensure iOS devices meet the required security baseline, preventing outdated devices with known vulnerabilities from accessing corporate resources. D is correct because jailbreak detection is a specific compliance setting that identifies compromised devices, which are a significant security risk as they bypass iOS security controls.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
The trap here is that candidates may confuse 'jailbreak detection' with 'device encryption' or 'passcode requirements,' but the question explicitly asks for the two settings that directly address jailbreak detection and minimum OS version, not general security settings.
Detailed technical explanation
In Microsoft Intune, compliance policies for iOS use the device's built-in jailbreak detection via the 'Device is jailbroken' setting, which checks for common jailbreak artifacts like Cydia or unauthorized kernel modifications. The minimum OS version setting compares the device's iOS version against the specified value, and non-compliant devices can be blocked or prompted to update via conditional access policies. Under the hood, Intune leverages the iOS MDM protocol's 'SecurityInfo' command to retrieve jailbreak status and OS version, which are then evaluated against the policy rules.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
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.
