- A . User1 and User2 only
 - B . User2 and User3 only
 - C . User1, User2, and User3 only
 - D . User1, User2, User3, and User4
 
D
Explanation:
Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management flags high-impact users based on various risk factors, including role, access to confidential data, and influence within an organization.
Let’s analyze each user:
User1 (Regional Manager, assigned Reader role, manages department managers)
Risk Factors:
● Holds a managerial position (regional manager).
● Manages multiple department managers, indicating organizational influence.
● Access to critical business information.
Flagged? -Yes (Managerial role and access to confidential data).
User2 (HR department manager, no Microsoft Entra roles, manages HR department users)
Risk Factors:
● Manages HR department users, meaning they likely handle sensitive employee data.
● HR roles are often considered high-risk due to access to personal and payroll data.
Flagged? -Yes (HR role and access to sensitive employee data).
User3 (Developer, reports to User2, only user in compliance, assigned Compliance Administrator role)
Risk Factors:
● Compliance Administrator role grants access to sensitive security and regulatory data.
● Only person in the compliance department, meaning they hold a critical role.
● Potentially high impact on compliance and security settings.
Flagged? -Yes (Privileged Compliance Administrator role).
User4 (Assistant to User1, no Entra roles, handles confidential data on behalf of User1)
Risk Factors:
● Handles a high volume of confidential data on behalf of a regional manager.
● Assistants with access to sensitive data are considered insider risk candidates.
Flagged? -Yes (High access to sensitive information).
Since all four users fit high-impact criteria (managerial roles, privileged compliance access, handling sensitive data), Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management will flag all of them.

You plan to implement insider risk management for users that manage sensitive data associated with a project.

B
Explanation:
To implement insider risk management for users managing sensitive project data while minimizing the impact on other users and reducing administrative effort, you should first create a security group in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).
Security groups allow you to scope insider risk management policies to specific users instead of applying policies to all users, which helps in minimizing unnecessary alerts and reducing administrative overhead. After creating the security group, you can assign this group to a Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management policy, ensuring that only project-related users are affected.
