Show Answer
Correct Answer: Use: Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager Additional costs: Licenses for premium regulatory templates
Explanation:
Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager assesses compliance against regulatory standards for different regions and provides improvement actions. Microsoft 365 E5 includes Compliance Manager, but many country/industry-specific assessment templates are premium and require additional licensing.

Question 23

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that uses Microsoft Purview. You need to recommend a solution that will provide guidance on how to ensure that Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in the subscription adheres to local privacy regulations. The solution must minimize administrative effort. Which Microsoft Purview solution should you include in the recommendation?

A. Data Loss Prevention
B. Information Protection
C. Insider Risk Management
D. Compliance Manager
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Compliance Manager provides assessments, compliance scores, and recommended improvement actions to help organizations meet regulatory requirements, including privacy regulations, with built-in guidance and templates. This directly addresses providing guidance while minimizing administrative effort. Data Loss Prevention, Information Protection, and Insider Risk Management serve different purposes and do not provide regulatory compliance guidance.

Question 24

HOTSPOT - You have an Azure subscription. You enable the Defender Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) plan. You need to optimize the security posture of the subscription by implementing Microsoft Defender for Cloud secure score recommendations. Which security policy should you enable, and which factors will have a direct impact on the secure score? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-100 question 24
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Security policy: Microsoft cloud security benchmark Factors: Built-in security policy recommendations, risk prioritization rankings, and critical asset classifications
Explanation:
Defender CSPM extends secure score beyond built-in recommendations by incorporating attack-path/risk prioritization and critical asset context. The Microsoft cloud security benchmark is the recommended security policy baseline.

Question 25

HOTSPOT - You have an Azure subscription. You plan to deploy an Azure App Service app named App1 that will access an external web service by using a username and password. You need to recommend a password storage solution for App1 that meets the following requirements: • Ensures that the password is stored securely • Ensures that App1 can authenticate to the service that will store the password Which service should you use to store the password, and which authentication method should App1 use to access the service? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-100 question 25
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Service: Azure Key Vault Authentication method: Managed identity
Explanation:
Azure Key Vault is the Azure service designed to securely store secrets such as passwords. An Azure App Service can use its managed identity to authenticate to Key Vault without storing credentials in the application.

Question 26

You have an Azure subscription that contains a web app named App1. App1 uses a Microsoft Entra user account named SRV1 as a service account to authenticate to an Azure SQL database named DB1. You discover that a developer accessed DB1 directly by using SRV1. You need to recommend a secure authentication method that will prevent credential misuse outside of App1. The solution must minimize administrative effort. What should you recommend?

A. a managed identity
B. a group managed service account (gMSA)
C. a delegated managed service account (dMSA)
D. a federated identity credential
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A managed identity is the recommended authentication method for an Azure App Service accessing Azure SQL. It eliminates stored user credentials, binds authentication to the application resource, and prevents developers from reusing a shared Entra user account outside the app while requiring minimal administration. gMSA and dMSA are for Windows/Active Directory scenarios, and a federated identity credential is used to establish workload identity federation, not as the primary authentication mechanism for an App Service to Azure SQL.

Question 27

HOTSPOT - You have three on-premises servers that run Windows Server and contain shared folders. The folders contain 10,000 files. You have a Microsoft 365 tenant that uses Microsoft Purview and includes custom sensitive information types (SITs). You have an Azure subscription that contains five Azure Blob Storage accounts and multiple web apps. The Blob Storage accounts contain data for the web apps. You need to recommend a Microsoft Purview solution to scan the storage blobs and the shared folders. The solution must use the custom SITs to identify files that contain specific data. What should you use for each type of storage? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-100 question 27
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Storage blobs: Data Map Shared folders: The Information Protection scanner
Explanation:
Microsoft Purview Data Map can scan Azure Blob Storage via data sources and classify data using sensitive information types. Microsoft Purview Information Protection scanner scans on-premises file shares and can use custom sensitive information types for classification and labeling.

Question 28

HOTSPOT - You have an on-premises datacenter. The datacenter contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2022 and a firewall that prevents Server1 from connecting to the internet. You have an Azure subscription named Sub1. You need to recommend a resiliency strategy for Server1 that incorporates a backup plan to transfer the data from Server1 to Sub1. What should you include in the recommendation? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-100 question 28
Show Answer
Correct Answer: On-premises datacenter: Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) Sub1: A Recovery Services vault
Explanation:
MABS can protect on-premises workloads and send backups to Azure without requiring the protected server itself to have direct internet access. Azure Backup stores MABS backups in a Recovery Services vault.

Question 29

You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that is linked to a Microsoft Entra tenant named contoso.com. Sub1 contains 20 virtual networks named Sub1_VNet1 through Sub1_VNet20. You have an Azure subscription named Sub2 that is linked to a Microsoft Entra tenant named fabrikam.com. Sub2 contains 20 virtual networks named Sub2_VNet1 through Sub2_VNet20. You need to deploy an Azure Virtual Network Manager solution that meets the following requirements: • Blocks SSH traffic on Sub1_VNet20 and Sub2_VNet20 by using network security groups (NSGs) • Blocks SSH traffic on Sub1_VNet1 through Sub1_VNet19 and Sub2_VNet1 through Sub2_VNet19 • Allows SSH traffic on Sub1_VNet20 and Sub2_VNet20 • Blocks FTP traffic on all the virtual networks • Minimizes administrative effort What is minimum number of components required for the deployment?

A. • 1 Virtual Network Manager instance • 1 rule collection • 2 NSGs
B. • 2 Virtual Network Manager instances that each contains: o 1 NSG o 1 rule collection
C. • 2 Virtual Network Manager instances that each contains: o 2 NSGs o 2 rule collections
D. • 1 Virtual Network Manager instance • 2 rule collections • 2 NSGs
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
A single Azure Virtual Network Manager can manage virtual networks across subscriptions and Microsoft Entra tenants. Two distinct security rule collections are required because VNet20 has different SSH behavior than the other VNets, while FTP is blocked everywhere. These different effective rule sets require two NSGs to minimize administration.

Question 30

You have an on-premises server named Server1. Server1 is an FTP server that can be accessed by only the users at your company. You have an Azure subscription. You need to recommend a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution to enforce Conditional Access policies when users access Server1 from the internet. What should you include in the recommendation?

A. Microsoft Entra application proxy
B. Microsoft Entra Internet Access
C. Microsoft Entra Private Access
D. Azure Application Gateway
E. Azure Bastion
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Microsoft Entra Private Access is Microsoft's Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution for secure access to private on-premises and private cloud applications. It enables Conditional Access enforcement for users connecting from the internet to private resources such as an on-premises FTP server. Microsoft Entra Application Proxy is intended for publishing web applications, not FTP. Entra Internet Access secures access to internet/SaaS resources, Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer, and Azure Bastion provides secure RDP/SSH access to Azure VMs, not general private application access.

Question 31

You have an Azure subscription that contains 15 custom apps. The source files for the apps are stored in Git repositories. The apps are deployed by using Azure DevOps. You need to recommend a DevSecOps solution to implement static application security testing (SAST) of the app code to identify hard-coded secrets. What should you include in the recommendation?

A. GitHub Advanced Security
B. Microsoft Defender for Key Vault
C. Microsoft Dev Box
D. Microsoft Defender for Cloud DevOps security
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
GitHub Advanced Security provides built-in code scanning (SAST) and secret scanning to detect hard-coded secrets in source repositories, including Azure DevOps when GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps is enabled. Defender for Cloud DevOps security aggregates and surfaces findings but is not itself the SAST engine for secret scanning. Defender for Key Vault protects Key Vault resources, and Microsoft Dev Box is a developer workstation solution.
