AB-900 Certification Practice Question #48

Question

You need to identify files and emails that contain social security numbers (SSNs) and credit card numbers.

What should you use in the Microsoft Purview portal?

Accepted Answer

Identifying **which files and emails contain SSNs and credit card numbers** is a content-**discovery** task. **Data explorer** (the data-classification explorer in Information Protection) lists the actual items that matched sensitive information types and shows where they reside across SharePoint, OneDrive, and Exchange. The Suggested Answer "Information Protection policies" is for *applying* labels/protection, not discovering existing content — so the well-reasoned community majority (Data explorer) is better supported, though the conflict with the official key holds confidence at 79%.
