The solution must use infrastructure as code (IaC) to deploy each application environment. What should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-100 question 19
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Environment type: Landing zone Module: Bicep or Terraform
Explanation:
The Cloud Adoption Framework recommends application landing zones as isolated environments. Enterprise-scale landing zones are deployed using IaC, with Bicep or Terraform as the recommended implementation modules.

Question 20

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that contains 500 users. Each user is assigned a Microsoft 365 E5 license and uses a Windows device. Microsoft Purview data loss prevention (DLP) policies are applied to Microsoft Exchange Online email and SharePoint Online sites. You plan to monitor the usage of third-party generative AI apps by using Microsoft Purview Data Security Posture Management for AI (DSPM for AI). What should you do first?

A. Enable Microsoft Purview insider risk management for all the users.
B. Onboard all endpoint devices to Microsoft Purview.
C. Configure Microsoft Purview data connectors for the generative AI apps.
D. License all the users for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
To monitor the use of third-party generative AI apps with Microsoft Purview DSPM for AI, the prerequisite is onboarding endpoint devices so endpoint activity can be discovered and monitored. Insider Risk Management, AI app connectors, or Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses are not the initial prerequisite for monitoring third-party AI app usage. The provided Microsoft documentation lists endpoint onboarding as a prerequisite.

Question 21

HOTSPOT - You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription. You need to recommend a security solution that meets the following requirements: • Automatically identifies and stops external, brute force attacks against accounts in the subscription • Automatically identifies and stops external attacks that use an internal account to exfiltrate data from Microsoft SharePoint Online sites in the subscription What should you include in the recommendation for each requirement? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-100 question 21

Correct Answer: Microsoft Entra ID Protection Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps
Explanation:
Entra ID Protection detects and mitigates identity-based risks such as brute-force/password spray attacks. Defender for Cloud Apps detects and can automatically respond to anomalous cloud activity, including insider-account-based data exfiltration from SharePoint Online.

Question 22

HOTSPOT - Your company has offices in 10 countries. You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that contains 1,000 users. Each user is assigned a Microsoft 365 E5 license. You plan to deploy a compliance assessment solution. The solution must meet the following requirements: • Ensure that compliance is assessed based on the regulations of the country of each office. • Provide improvement action guidance to ensure compliance of the subscription. You need to recommend the service that should be used to perform the assessments, and identify additional costs that will be incurred. What should you recommend and what should you identify? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-100 question 22
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.

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.
