SC-100 Certification Practice Question #208

Question

Your company has an on-premises network, an Azure subscription, and a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.
The company uses the following devices:
✑ Computers that run either Windows 10 or Windows 11
✑ Tablets and phones that run either Android or iOS
You need to recommend a solution to classify and encrypt sensitive Microsoft Office 365 data regardless of where the data is stored.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Accepted Answer

The requirement is to *classify* and *encrypt* sensitive Office 365 data *regardless of where the data is stored*. Microsoft Information Protection (now Microsoft Purview Information Protection) delivers exactly this through sensitivity labels, which classify content and apply persistent encryption (Azure RMS) and usage rights that follow the data across Microsoft 365 apps, SharePoint, OneDrive, devices, and even when it leaves the tenant. eDiscovery (A) finds and holds content for legal cases but neither classifies nor encrypts; Compliance Manager (C) scores compliance posture; retention policies (D) govern how long data is kept, not classification or encryption. Suggested Answer, a unanimous community vote, a strongly upvoted comment, and MS Learn all converge on B.
