A healthcare organization uses Microsoft 365 and wants to prevent users from sending emails that contain patient health information (PHI) to external recipients. Which Microsoft Purview solution should they implement?
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
Data Lifecycle Management is used to automatically retain or delete data based on policies, not to prevent sharing in real time.
B
Best answer
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
DLP policies can inspect content in emails and files for sensitive data, and then block or warn users according to the configured rules.
C
Distractor review
Insider Risk Management
Insider Risk Management helps identify and investigate malicious or accidental insider activities, but it does not enforce real-time prevention of sharing sensitive data via DLP rules.
D
Distractor review
eDiscovery
eDiscovery is used for searching and exporting content for legal or investigative purposes, not for preventing data loss.
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: Data Loss Prevention (DLP) — Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies in Microsoft Purview are designed to help organizations detect and prevent the accidental sharing of sensitive information. By creating a DLP policy that identifies PHI (e.g., using built-in sensitive information types like U.S. Social Security Number or medical record numbers), the organization can block or warn users when they attempt to send such data via email to external parties.
