The answer is SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. These two services are the primary Microsoft 365 workloads that Microsoft Purview Data Map natively scans to discover and classify sensitive data, such as credit card numbers or personally identifiable information, using built-in sensitive information types and exact data match. On the Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect exam, this question tests your understanding of Purview’s data estate scope, specifically that the Data Map integrates directly with Microsoft 365 sources, not with Azure infrastructure services like SQL Database or Blob Storage. A common trap is selecting Power BI, which is a Microsoft 365 service but is governed by Purview’s Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention policies rather than being a core scanning target in the Data Map. Remember the memory tip: “Share and One” for SharePoint and OneDrive—the two pillars of Microsoft 365 data discovery.
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.)
Why wrong: 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.
B
SharePoint Online
SharePoint is a key source for sensitive documents.
C
Azure SQL Database
Why wrong: Azure SQL is not a Microsoft 365 service.
D
OneDrive for Business
OneDrive stores user files that may contain sensitive data.
E
Azure Blob Storage
Why wrong: Azure Blob is not a Microsoft 365 service.
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
SharePoint Online
Options A and C are correct because Microsoft Purview Data Map can scan SharePoint Online and OneDrive for sensitive data. Option B (Azure SQL Database) is not a Microsoft 365 service. Option D (Azure Blob Storage) is not Microsoft 365. Option E (Power BI) is a Microsoft 365 service but is not typically scanned for sensitive data classification in the same way; however, it can be included, but the question asks for data across Microsoft 365 services, and SharePoint and OneDrive are the primary sources.
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 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.
