Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals (SC-900)Describe the capabilities of Microsoft compliance solutionsHard
A large enterprise is migrating a vast amount of legacy data from on-premises file shares and third-party cloud storage solutions into Microsoft 365. They need to ensure that this ingested data is automatically scanned for sensitive information (e.g., healthcare records, intellectual property) and that appropriate retention labels are applied according to corporate policy, even before users interact with it. Which Microsoft Purview capability, in conjunction with Data Lifecycle Management, can achieve this automated scanning and labeling of ingested data?
- AMicrosoft Purview Data Map
- BCommunication Compliance
- CSensitive Information Types (SITs)
- DAuto-labeling policies
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Auto-labeling policies
Auto-labeling policies in Microsoft Purview allow for the automatic application of sensitivity or retention labels to content based on sensitive information types, keywords, or trainable classifiers, which is crucial for automatically governing large volumes of ingested legacy data.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Microsoft Purview Data Map is a metadata store for data assets, used for discovery and governance, but doesn't directly apply labels to ingested data.
- B. Communication Compliance monitors internal communications for policy violations, unrelated to auto-labeling ingested data.
- C. Sensitive Information Types (SITs) are patterns used to detect sensitive data, but they are a component of auto-labeling, not the policy itself.
Auto-labeling policies
Microsoft Purview policies that automatically apply sensitivity or retention labels to content based on conditions such as sensitive information types, keywords, or trainable classifiers.
- Automates data classification and governance.
- Applies to data at rest and in transit.
- Reduces manual effort and improves consistency.
Memory trick: Auto-labeling makes data self-governing.
