AB-100 Certification Practice Question #53

Question

A company has Microsoft Foundry agents that generate responses by using Azure OpenAI resources. The agents are deployed to both the United States and Europe.
A company mandate states that the agents and their grounding data must adhere to data residency and movement regulations.
You need to recommend a governance solution for the agents.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Accepted Answer

Data residency and movement regulations for Foundry agents primarily require enforcing which Azure regions resources can be deployed in and restricting data from crossing boundaries — this is infrastructure-level governance, which Azure Policy handles natively (allowed locations policy, sovereign compliance blueprints). While Microsoft Purview adds data classification and lineage, Azure Policy is the mechanism that prevents non-compliant region deployments. The 13-vote majority strongly favors B, though the Purview dissenters make a valid secondary argument.
