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 Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains the sensitive information types (SITs) shown in the following table.



A user sends the email messages shown in the following table.



For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Box 1: Yes
Yes - SIT1 will identity and match the content in Email1.

Prd:1234 will match the regular expression of SIT1.

Box 2: Yes
Yes - SIT2 will identity and match the content in Email2.

111-111-1111 will match the exclusion of SIT2.
However, 123456789012 will match the regular expression of SIT2.

Note: Sensitive information type additional checks
Here are the definitions and some examples for the available additional checks.

* Exclude specific matches: This check lets you define keywords to exclude when detecting matches for the pattern you're editing. For example, you might exclude test credit card numbers like '4111111111111111' so that they're not matched as a valid number.

Box 3: No
No - SIT3 will identity and match the content in Email3.

The full credit card number is not inclued in Email3.

Note:
Sensitive information types (SIT) can use functions as primary elements for identifying sensitive items. For example, the Credit Card Number SIT uses the Func_credit_card function to detect credit card number.

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

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.

You need to be alerted when users share sensitive documents from Microsoft OneDrive to any users outside your company.

What should you do?

  1. From the Microsoft Defender portal create an activity policy.
  2. From the Microsoft Purview portal start an Advanced eDiscovery search.
  3. From the Exchange admin center, create a data loss prevention (DLP) policy.
  4. From the Microsoft Defender portal, create a file policy.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

File filters in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps
After you connect an app to Defender for Cloud Apps, integrate with Microsoft Purview Information Protection.
Then, in the Files page, filter for files labeled Confidential and exclude your domain in the Collaborators filter. If you see that there are confidential files shared outside your organization, you can create a file policy to detect them.
Incorrect:
Not D: In Microsoft Purview, you can create a data loss prevention (DLP) policy in two different admin centers:
In the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, you can create a single DLP policy to help protect content in SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, Teams, and now Endpoint Devices. We recommend that you create a DLP policy here.
(Not D) In the Exchange admin center, you can create a DLP policy to help protect content only in Exchange.
This policy can use Exchange mail flow rules (also known as transport rules), so it has more options specific to handling email.
You can use a Microsoft Purview data loss prevention (DLP) policy to identify, monitor, and protect sensitive information across Office 365. You want people in your organization who work with this sensitive information to stay compliant with your DLP policies, but you don't want to block them unnecessarily from getting their work done. This is where email notifications and policy tips can help.

question 35 is incorrect, the correct answer is c, it even states so: explanation: when a vm is infected with ransomware, you should not restore the vm to the infected vm. this is because the ransomware will still be present on the vm, and it will encrypt the files again. you should also not restore the vm to any vm within the companys subscription. this is because the ransomware could spread to other vms in the subscription. the best way to restore a vm that is infected with ransomware is to restore it to a new azure vm. this will ensure that the ransomware is not present on the new vm.
