A company wants to monitor employee communications in Microsoft Teams and Exchange Online for potential policy violations such as harassment or inappropriate sharing of confidential information. They need a solution that allows them to define policies, review flagged messages, and manage investigations. 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.
Best answer
Communication Compliance
Correct. Communication Compliance is purpose-built for detecting and reviewing policy violations in communications (e.g., harassment), with policy creation and investigation capabilities.
Distractor review
Insider Risk Management
Incorrect. Insider Risk Management focuses on detecting risky user activities (e.g., data theft, leaks) using machine learning, but it is not primarily designed for communication monitoring and review.
Distractor review
Information Barriers
Incorrect. Information Barriers are used to prevent communication and collaboration between certain groups (e.g., to avoid conflicts of interest). They do not monitor or review communications for policy violations.
Distractor review
Audit (Standard or Premium)
Incorrect. Audit provides logging of user and admin activities but lacks built-in policy violation detection or review workflows. It is used for investigation after an incident, not proactive monitoring.
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: Communication Compliance — Communication Compliance is a Microsoft Purview solution designed to help organizations detect and remediate inappropriate or sensitive communications in supported services like Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online, and Yammer. It allows administrators to create policies based on predefined templates (e.g., offensive language, sensitive info types) or custom conditions. Flagged messages are reviewed by designated reviewers, and the solution supports investigation and remediation workflows. Insider Risk Management addresses broader data theft and leak patterns, but its primary focus is on user behavior analytics, not specifically communication monitoring. Information Barriers prevent communication between specific groups but do not monitor for policy violations. Audit (Standard or Premium) provides logging of activities but does not include built-in policy violation detection or review workflows.
