AB-900 Certification Practice Question #54

Question

Your company has a written compliance policy that requires all emails be retained for seven years, and then permanently deleted.

Which Microsoft Purview solution should you use?

Accepted Answer

Keeping all emails for **seven years and then permanently deleting** them is **retention** — handled by **Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management**, which uses retention policies/labels to retain content for a defined period and then automatically dispose of it. Information Protection classifies/labels, DLP prevents leakage, and Insider Risk Management detects risky behavior — none enforces a retain-then-delete schedule.
