SC-900 Communication Compliance policy Practice Question
A company is implementing Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance to detect inappropriate messages. They need to monitor Microsoft Teams channel messages and chat messages for potential policy violations. Which configuration is required?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates may mistakenly believe that enabling DLP or retention policies is a prerequisite for monitoring Teams messages, but Communication Compliance directly supports Teams as a supervised channel without additional configuration.
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
✓
Configure a Communication Compliance policy that includes Teams messages as the supervised communication channel.
Communication Compliance policies can be configured to monitor Microsoft Teams channel messages and chat messages natively, without requiring additional DLP policies, retention policies, or third-party archiving. The policy must include Teams messages as a supervised communication channel. Option A is incorrect because DLP policies are not required for Communication Compliance monitoring; they serve a different purpose. Option B is incorrect because Exchange Online retention policies retain data but do not enable monitoring for policy violations. Option C is incorrect because Microsoft provides native integration for Teams monitoring, so a third-party solution is unnecessary.
