Full question →hardmultiple choiceObjective-mapped
A multinational corporation must comply with regulations that require them to keep financial records for 7 years and then permanently delete them. However, they are currently involved in litigation that requires preservation of all documents related to a specific project. They use Microsoft Purview. Which combination of features should they use to meet both requirements?
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
Data Lifecycle Management to retain for 7 years then delete, and eDiscovery (Premium) to place a legal hold on the project documents
This combination correctly applies a retention-delete policy for financial records and uses legal hold to preserve the specific project documents during litigation.
B
Distractor review
Data Lifecycle Management to retain for 7 years then delete, and Sensitivity labels to mark documents
Sensitivity labels are used for classification and protection (e.g., encryption), not for preservation. They cannot override a deletion policy.
C
Distractor review
Audit (Premium) to log access and eDiscovery (Premium) to search
Audit logging and eDiscovery search help find and review data, but they do not preserve data from being deleted. A legal hold is required for preservation.
D
Distractor review
Information Protection to classify data and Data Lifecycle Management to retain
Information Protection (sensitivity labels) adds classification but does not handle legal hold. Without a legal hold, the retention policy may delete documents needed for litigation.
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 Lifecycle Management to retain for 7 years then delete, and eDiscovery (Premium) to place a legal hold on the project documents — Data Lifecycle Management in Microsoft Purview allows you to create retention policies that retain data for a specified period and then delete it. eDiscovery (Premium) can place a legal hold on specific documents or mailboxes to preserve them even if a deletion policy would otherwise remove them. This combination ensures that financial records are deleted after 7 years, except for project documents under legal hold, which are preserved until the hold is released.
