Full question →mediummultiple choiceObjective-mapped
A company uses Microsoft Entra ID and Intune to manage devices. They want to enforce a policy that allows access to financial data from SharePoint Online only when the user's device is compliant (e.g., encrypted, patched) AND the user authenticates from a trusted IP address range. Additionally, if the sign-in risk is assessed as medium or high by Identity Protection, the user must also perform multifactor authentication (MFA). Which Conditional Access components should the administrator configure?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Best answer
Configure conditions for sign-in risk and locations, and use Grant controls to require MFA and device compliance.
This correctly identifies that conditions (sign-in risk and locations) are used to define when the policy applies, and Grant controls enforce the requirements. The Grant control 'Require all the selected controls' can combine device compliance and MFA.
B
Distractor review
Configure a session control to require device compliance and an assignment for sign-in risk to trigger MFA.
Session controls (e.g., use app enforced restrictions) control user experience after access is granted, not the pre-access requirements. Device compliance and MFA are Grant controls, not session controls.
C
Distractor review
Use Microsoft Entra ID Protection to automatically enforce MFA and device compliance for all users regardless of location.
Identity Protection detects risk but does not enforce Conditional Access policies itself. It integrates with Conditional Access by providing 'Sign-in risk' as a condition, but the policy definition and enforcement remain in Conditional Access.
D
Distractor review
Configure a compliance policy in Intune and link it directly to SharePoint Online to block non-compliant devices.
Intune compliance policies define device compliance, but they do not directly control access to cloud apps. Conditional Access is needed to enforce access decisions based on device compliance state.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this SC-900 question test?
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Configure conditions for sign-in risk and locations, and use Grant controls to require MFA and device compliance. — Conditional Access policies consist of assignments (users, groups, cloud apps, and conditions like locations and sign-in risk) and access controls (grant or block). To require device compliance, the administrator includes 'Require device to be marked as compliant' in the Grant control. To enforce MFA based on sign-in risk, the administrator adds a condition for 'Sign-in risk' with levels medium or high, and then in Grant controls also requires MFA. The combination of conditions and grant controls allows granular access decisions. Grant controls can be set to 'Require all the selected controls' to enforce multiple requirements simultaneously, or 'Require one of the selected controls'.
