Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator ExpertImplement and manage Microsoft Purview complianceMedium
A global enterprise needs to ensure that all communications containing specific project code names (e.g., 'Project Chimera', 'Project Phoenix') are monitored for potential policy violations related to intellectual property and insider trading. The company requires a solution that can automatically detect these code names within emails and Teams chats, flag them for review, and allow designated compliance officers to investigate without impacting user productivity. Which Microsoft Purview feature would best address this requirement?
- ACommunication Compliance policies
- BData Loss Prevention (DLP) policies
- CeDiscovery Standard
- DInformation Barriers
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Communication Compliance policies
Communication Compliance policies are designed to monitor communications (like emails and Teams chats) for specific content (like project code names) that might indicate policy violations, and then route these for review by compliance officers.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. DLP policies primarily prevent data loss or sharing, not monitoring for general policy violations like insider trading in communications.
- C. eDiscovery Standard is used for searching and preserving content for legal cases, not proactive monitoring of ongoing communications.
- D. Information Barriers segment user groups to prevent unwanted communication, not to monitor content within allowed communications.
