SC-900 Practice Question: Describe the concepts of security, compliance, and identity

This SC-900 practice question tests your understanding of describe the concepts of security, compliance, and identity. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Contoso Ltd. is a financial services company that must comply with strict regulatory requirements. They use Microsoft 365 E5, Microsoft Entra ID P2, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. The compliance team needs to implement a data loss prevention (DLP) policy that detects and prevents the sharing of credit card numbers in Microsoft Teams messages. Additionally, they want to ensure that only users with a specific custom sensitivity label can access documents containing credit card numbers. The sensitivity label is named 'Financial-Confidential' and is applied automatically via auto-labeling. The DLP policy should block sharing of credit card numbers in Teams but allow users to override the block with a business justification. Which combination of actions should you configure in the Microsoft Purview DLP policy to meet these requirements?

A
Create a DLP policy in Microsoft Purview that blocks sharing of credit card numbers in Teams and does not allow overrides. Configure the policy to apply to all content.
Why wrong: No override allowed, and applies to all content, not just labeled documents.
B
Configure a session policy in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps that monitors Teams for credit card numbers and blocks sharing. Use the 'Block with override' action.
Why wrong: Defender for Cloud Apps is not the primary tool for DLP in Teams; Purview is correct.
C
Create a DLP policy in Microsoft Purview that blocks sharing of credit card numbers in Teams and allows overrides with business justification. Configure the policy to apply to content containing the 'Financial-Confidential' sensitivity label.
Meets all requirements.
D
Use the built-in DLP template for financial data in Microsoft Purview and enable the 'Block with override' action. Set the scope to Teams.
Why wrong: Built-in templates may not automatically use custom sensitivity labels.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Create a DLP policy in Microsoft Purview that blocks sharing of credit card numbers in Teams and allows overrides with business justification. Configure the policy to apply to content containing the 'Financial-Confidential' sensitivity label.

Option C is correct because it creates a DLP policy in Microsoft Purview that blocks sharing of credit card numbers in Teams and allows overrides with business justification, and it scopes the policy to content containing the 'Financial-Confidential' sensitivity label, meeting all requirements. Option A is incorrect because it does not allow overrides, so users cannot provide business justification. Option B is incorrect because a session policy in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is not the appropriate method; DLP policies for Teams content should be configured in Microsoft Purview. Option D is incorrect because using the built-in DLP template for financial data may not allow integration with the custom sensitivity label 'Financial-Confidential', and the requirement is to apply the policy specifically to content with that label.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.

KKey Concepts to Remember

Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.

TExam Day Tips

Underline the problem statement mentally.
Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Key takeaway

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
