SC-100 Certification Practice Question #228

Question

Your company has a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.

The company wants to identify and classify data in Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, and Exchange Online.

You need to recommend a solution to identify documents that contain sensitive information.

What should you include in the recommendation?

Accepted Answer

This is a genuine community split (multiple 4-vote comments on each side), which is why confidence is held below 80. The Suggested Answer and the clear Most Voted (13 votes) are A, and MS Learn directly states content explorer is the tool to see where sensitive information — items classified as a sensitive information type — resides across Teams, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, and OneDrive, which matches the question's "identify documents that contain sensitive information" across exactly those workloads. DLP (B) is fundamentally a *protection/prevention* control that enforces policies to block sharing; it doesn't present the cross-workload inventory the question asks for. The dissent's "identify = DLP" reasoning is plausible because DLP rules do match SITs, but on a recommendation-style SC-100 item Microsoft's data-classification answer is content explorer (the surfacing/visibility tool over SIT-classified content), so A wins on the documentation and the dominant vote.
