Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

To add a new keyword dictionary in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP), you must create a Sensitive Information Type (SIT).

Sensitive Info Types (SITs) allow you to define custom detection rules, including keyword dictionaries, regular expressions, and functions for identifying sensitive content in emails, documents, and other Microsoft 365 locations. A keyword dictionary is a list of predefined words/phrases that Microsoft Purview can use to identify and classify content for DLP policies.

Steps to add a keyword dictionary:

1. Go to Microsoft Purview compliance portal

2. Navigate to Data classification > Sensitive info types

3. Create a new sensitive info type

4. Add a keyword dictionary

5. Save and use it in a DLP policy

I thought it was a retention policy at first, but D makes sense!

A trainable classifier won't help here, just saying.

Sensitivity labels could be relevant, but I feel like sensitive info types are more specific to what we need here.

Retention policies seem unrelated to keyword dictionaries, so I don't think that's the right choice.

I remember something about trainable classifiers, but I can't recall if they relate to keyword dictionaries directly.

I think we might need to create a sensitive info type for the keyword dictionary, but I'm not entirely sure.

I think the answer is a sensitive info type. That makes the most sense to me based on the context of the question. I'll go with that unless I can come up with a better strategy.

A trainable classifier? I'm not sure that's the right approach for adding a new keyword dictionary. Let me re-read the question and options again to make sure I understand.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is a sensitivity label the right answer, or should I go with a sensitive info type? I'll need to think this through carefully.

Retention policy? As if Microsoft would let you just store sensitive keywords without proper labeling. D is the only logical choice here.

Ah, the age-old question of keyword dictionaries in Microsoft 365. I bet the exam writers had a field day coming up with this one. D is the answer, no doubt.
