- Retain items for a specific period: 4 years
- Start the retention period based on: When items were created
- At the end of the retention period: Do nothing
Problem Statements
Management at Contoso is concerned about data leaks. On several occasions, confidential research department documents were leaked.
Requirements
Planned Changes
Contoso plans to create the following data loss prevention (DLP) policy:
● Name: DLPpolicy1
● Locations to apply the policy: Site2
● Conditions:
- Content contains any of these sensitive info types: SWIFT Code
- Instance count: 2 to any
● Actions: Restrict access to the content
Technical Requirements
Contoso must meet the following technical requirements:
● All administrative users must be able to review DLP reports.
● Whenever possible, the principle of least privilege must be used.
● For all users, all Microsoft 365 data must be retained for at least one year.
● Confidential documents must be detected and protected by using Microsoft 365.
● Site1 documents that include credit card numbers must be labeled automatically.
● All administrative users must be able to create Microsoft 365 sensitivity labels.
● After a project is complete, the documents in Site3 that relate to the project must be retained for 10 years.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You have a new Microsoft 365 E5 tenant.
You need to create a custom trainable classifier that will detect product order forms. The solution must use the principle of least privilege.
What should you do first? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




To create a custom trainable classifier in Microsoft Purview (formerly Microsoft Compliance Center), you must first opt into the trainable classifier feature.
Before using custom trainable classifiers, Microsoft requires manual opt-in through the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. Without this step, you cannot create a new classifier.
The Compliance Administrator role has the necessary permissions to configure data classification, DLP
policies, and trainable classifiers. Global Administrator has higher privileges but is not required for this task,
violating the principle of least privilege. Security Administrator is focused on security-related settings but does not manage compliance features like classifiers.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 tenant that contains a trainable classifier named Classifier1.
You need to increase the accuracy of Classifier1. The solution must use the principle of least privilege.
Which feature should you use and to which role group should you be added? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Box 1: Content Explorer
Increase classifier accuracy
Classifiers, like sensitive information types (SIT) and trainable classifiers are used in various kinds of policies to identify sensitive information. Like most such models, sometimes they identify an item as being sensitive that isn't. Or, they may not identify an item as being sensitive when it actually is. These are called false positives and false negatives.
This article shows you how to confirm whether items matched by a classifier are true positive (a Match) or a false positive (Not a match) and provide Match/Not a match feedback. You can use that feedback to tune your classifiers to increase accuracy. You can also send redacted versions of the document as well as the Match,
Not a Match feedback to Microsoft if you want to help increase the accuracy of the classifiers that Microsoft provides.
The Match, Not a match experience is available in:
* -> Content Explorer
Sensitive Information Type Matched Items page
Trainable Classifier Matched Items page
Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Alerts page
Box 2: Compliance data administrator
Permissions
In order to get access to the content explorer tab, an account must be assigned membership in any one of these roles or role groups.
Microsoft 365 role groups
Global administrator
Compliance administrator
Security administrator
*-> Compliance data administrator
