Microsoft 365 Administrator — Question 340

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.
You plan to implement Microsoft Purview policies to meet the following requirements:
Identify documents that are stored in Microsoft Teams and SharePoint that contain Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Report on shared documents that contain PII.
What should you create?

Answer options

• A. a data loss prevention (DLP) policy
• B. a retention policy
• C. an alert policy
• D. a Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps policy

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, a data loss prevention (DLP) policy, as it is specifically designed to identify and manage sensitive information like PII across platforms like Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. The other options do not focus on detecting or reporting PII; a retention policy manages data lifecycle, an alert policy notifies for certain events, and a Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps policy is geared towards managing cloud app security rather than PII detection.
