Full question →easymultiple choiceObjective-mapped
A financial services firm is required by regulatory bodies to monitor employee communications (email, Teams chats) for potential insider trading or market manipulation. They need a solution that allows them to define policies to detect messages containing specific keywords or phrases (e.g., 'confidential', 'insider info'), and then assign flagged messages to designated reviewers for investigation. Which Microsoft Purview solution should they use?
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
Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance
Correct. Communication Compliance allows policy-based detection of inappropriate or risky messages in communications and provides a review workflow for compliance officers.
B
Distractor review
Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management
Insider Risk Management analyzes user behavior and data activities (e.g., downloading files, emailing external parties), not specifically the content of communications for specific keywords.
C
Distractor review
Microsoft Purview eDiscovery (Standard or Premium)
eDiscovery is used for legal hold, search, and export of content, not for proactive monitoring and policy-based detection of communication patterns.
D
Distractor review
Microsoft Purview Audit (Standard or Premium)
Audit records user and admin activities in Microsoft 365 but does not provide content inspection or policy-driven flagging of messages.
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: Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance — Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance is designed to help organizations detect inappropriate or risky messages in internal and external communications. It can identify patterns such as insider trading, harassment, or regulatory violations by scanning email and Microsoft Teams messages against configurable policies. Insider Risk Management focuses on user activities and data exfiltration, not primarily on communication content. eDiscovery is for legal discovery and preservation of content. Audit provides log information but no policy-based detection and review workflow. Thus, Communication Compliance is the correct choice.
