You need at least 3 policies for this.

I feel like we could do it with just one policy if it covers all the services, but I’m not entirely confident.

I’m leaning towards three policies because Teams and OneDrive might need their own, but I could be wrong.

I remember a practice question where we had to create multiple policies for different services, but I’m not sure if that applies here.

I think we might need at least two policies since Exchange and SharePoint could be separate.
