A healthcare organization must automatically detect documents containing patient health information (PHI) in SharePoint Online and apply a retention label that retains the documents for 10 years. Additionally, they want to prevent users from permanently deleting these documents during the retention period. Which Microsoft Purview solution should they use to achieve this?
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
Distractor review
Data Lifecycle Management
Incorrect. Data Lifecycle Management (previously called Microsoft 365 retention) can apply retention labels and retain content for a specified period, but it does not by itself prevent users from permanently deleting the content. Only Records Management (by marking items as records) provides that deletion protection.
B
Best answer
Records Management
Correct. Records Management uses retention labels that can be configured to mark items as records. When an item is a record, it cannot be deleted, edited, or modified by users during the retention period. This satisfies the requirement to prevent permanent deletion.
C
Distractor review
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Incorrect. DLP policies can detect PHI and automatically apply actions like blocking or warning users, but DLP does not apply retention labels. DLP and Records Management are separate solutions that can be used together, but DLP alone cannot apply retention labels.
D
Distractor review
Communication Compliance
Incorrect. Communication Compliance is designed to detect policy violations in communications (e.g., offensive language, insider trading). It does not apply retention labels or manage document lifecycle in SharePoint.
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: Records Management — To automatically detect sensitive content and apply a retention label that also marks the item as a record (preventing permanent deletion), the organization should use Microsoft Purview Records Management. Records Management allows the creation of retention labels that mark content as a record (regulatory or legal hold), which makes the item read-only and blocks deletion or modification by users. Data Lifecycle Management also provides retention labels but does not include the 'record' marking that prevents deletion. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) detects sensitive data and can apply policies (e.g., block actions), but it cannot automatically apply retention labels. Communication Compliance monitors communications for policy violations, not retention.
