A company wants to monitor internal communications for inappropriate content such as harassment or threats, and also prevent employees from accidentally sharing credit card numbers via email. Which combination of Microsoft Purview solutions 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.
A
Distractor review
Use Communication Compliance for both detecting harassment and preventing credit card sharing
Communication Compliance can detect certain sensitive information types, but its primary purpose is policy-violating communications. DLP is more effective for preventing accidental sharing of regulated data like credit card numbers, as it provides actions like blocking.
B
Distractor review
Use Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for both detecting harassment and preventing credit card sharing
DLP focuses on preventing data leaks of sensitive information. It is not designed to analyze communications for harassment or threats; that is the role of Communication Compliance.
C
Best answer
Use Communication Compliance for harassment detection and DLP for preventing sharing of credit card numbers
Correct. Communication Compliance handles detection of inappropriate content like harassment, while DLP policies prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive data such as credit card numbers.
D
Distractor review
Use eDiscovery for both harassment detection and data leak prevention
eDiscovery is used for legal discovery and content searches, not for real-time detection or prevention of inappropriate communications or data leaks.
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: Use Communication Compliance for harassment detection and DLP for preventing sharing of credit card numbers — Microsoft Purview provides several solutions for compliance. Communication Compliance is designed to detect policy violations like harassment, threats, or sensitive information sharing in communications (email, Teams). Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies prevent accidental sharing of sensitive data such as credit card numbers by blocking or warning users. Using both together addresses the two distinct requirements: monitoring for inappropriate content and preventing data leaks.
