You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains the sensitive information types (SITs) shown in the following table.

You plan to create the policies shown in the following table and assign them to a Microsoft SharePoint Online site.

Which policies can use SIT1, and which policies can use SIT2? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Box 1: DLP1 and Sensitivity1 only.
SIT1 is of type Fingerprint.
SITs created from document fingerprinting can be used as a detection method in DLP policies scoped to
Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Devices. [DLP1]
MIP [Microsoft Purview] auto-labeling can use document fingerprinting as a detection method in Exchange,
SharePoint, and OneDrive.
--
Microsoft Purview [MIP], Automatically apply a sensitivity label to Microsoft 365 data [Sensitivity1]
Note:
DLP1 is a Data loss prevention (DLP) policy. [Yes]
Retention1 is a Retention label auto-labeling policy. [No]
Sensitivity1 is a Sensitivity label auto-labeling policy. [Yes]
Box 2: DLP1, Retention1, and Sensitivity1
SIT2 is of type Regular expression.
Note:
DLP1 is a Data loss prevention (DLP) policy. [Yes]
Retention1 is a Retention label auto-labeling policy. [Yes]
Sensitivity1 is a Sensitivity label auto-labeling policy. [Yes]

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.
You plan to create an exact data match (EDM) classifier named EDM1.
You need to grant permissions to hash and upload the sensitive information source table for EDM1.
What should you create first?

  1. a Microsoft 365 group named EDM_DataUploaders
  2. a Microsoft Entra enterprise application named EDM_DataUploaders
  3. a Microsoft Entra app registration named EDM_DataUploaders
  4. a Microsoft Purview role group named EDM_DataUploaders
  5. a security group named EDM_DataUploaders

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Microsoft Purview, Hash and upload the sensitive information source table for exact data match sensitive information types
Security group and user account requirements
1. As a global administrator, go to the admin center using the appropriate link for your subscription and create a security group called EDM_DataUploaders.
2. Add one or more users to the EDM_DataUploaders security group. (These users are the ones who manage the database of sensitive information.)

You need to meet the technical requirements for the confidential documents.
What should you create first, and what should you use for the detection method? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




To detect and protect confidential documents, we need a custom rule to identify project codes that start with
999 (since they are classified as confidential).
Box 1: A Sensitive Info Type (SIT) allows Microsoft Purview DLP policies to recognize structured data (e.g.,
project codes). DLP policies require a sensitive info type to detect content based on patterns, keywords, or dictionary terms. A sensitivity label alone does not define detection logic—it is used for classification and protection after content is identified.
Box 2: Since project codes follow a structured 10-digit pattern, we should use a Regular Expression (Regex) to match project codes that start with 999.
Example Regex pattern:
999\d{7}
This pattern detects a 10-digit number starting with "999".

How many files in Site2 can User1 and User2 access after you turn on DLPpolicy1? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Understanding DLP Policy Impact on File Access
The DLP policy (DLPpolicy1) applies to Site2 and restricts access when:
● Content contains SWIFT Codes.
● Instance count is 2 or more.
File Analysis (Based on SWIFT Codes Count)

Files that remain accessible (not restricted by DLP):
● File1.docx (Contains only 1 SWIFT Code → Below restriction threshold)
User access after DLP policy is applied:

User1 (Site Owner):
● Has higher privileges and can override DLP restrictions (through admin intervention).
● Can access 2 files (File1.docx + override access to another file).
User2 (Site Visitor):
● Has read-only access but DLP blocks access to restricted files.
● Can only access 1 file (File1.docx), since all others are restricted.

You are reviewing policies for the SharePoint Online environment.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Understanding Site4's Retention Policies:
● Site4RetentionPolicy1 deletes items older than 2 years from creation. If a file was created on January 1,
2025, it would be deleted after January 1, 2027.
● Site4RetentionPolicy2 retains files for 4 years from creation. If a file was created on January 1, 2025, it will be kept until January 1, 2029, but not deleted after that (policy states "Do nothing").
Statement 1 - Yes, because Site4RetentionPolicy2 ensures files are retained for 4 years.
Statement 2 - Yes, because Site4RetentionPolicy2 retains the file for 4 years (until January 1, 2029).
Statement 3 - No, because retention is only for 4 years (until January 1, 2029). After that, the policy does
"nothing," meaning the file is no longer recoverable after that period.
