DRAG DROP
You have a Microsoft 365 tenant.
A new regulatory requirement states that all documents containing a patent ID be labeled, retained for 10 years, and then deleted. The policy used to apply the retention settings must never be disabled or deleted by anyone.
You need to implement the regulatory requirement.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.


HOTSPOT
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that uses Microsoft Purview.
You need to deploy a compliance solution that will detect the accidental oversharing of information outside of an organization.
The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.


You need to be alerted when users share sensitive documents from Microsoft OneDrive to any users outside your company.
What should you do?
- A . From the Microsoft Purview portal create an insider risk policy
- B . From the Microsoft Defender portal create a file policy
- C . From the Microsoft Defender portal, create an activity policy.
- D . From the Microsoft Purview portal, start a data investigation.
B
Explanation:
An activity policy in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (Microsoft Defender portal) allows you to track and alert on specific user actions, such as sharing sensitive documents externally from OneDrive. This policy can detect file-sharing activities and send alerts when files are shared with external users, which meets the requirement.
HOTSPOT
You plan to create a custom sensitive information type that will use Exact Data Match (EDM).
You need to identify what to upload to Microsoft 365, and which tool to use for the upload.
What should you identify? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Explanation:
EDM does not store raw data; instead, it requires hashed versions of sensitive data for privacy and security. To upload the hashed data, Microsoft provides the EDM upload agent. This ensures that the data is securely processed and recognized by the EDM service in Microsoft 365.
HOTSPOT
You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that has a retention label named Retention1.
The subscription contains the files shown in the following table.

You create an auto-labeling policy named Policy1 that will automatically apply Retention1 as shown in the Auto-labeling policy Exhibit. (Click the Auto-labeling policy tab.)
You configure Policy1 to apply Retention1 as shown in the Locations exhibit. (Click the Locations tab.)
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.


HOTSPOT
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.

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:
999d{7}
This pattern detects a 10-digit number starting with "999".
