Note: Premium Questions for SC-401 were last updated On Apr. 24, 2026 (see below)
You have a Microsoft 365 subscription.
You configure a Microsoft Purview insider risk management policy named Policy1.
You need to ensure that you will receive real-time recommendations on how to configure the indicator thresholds for Policy1. The solution must ensure that the recommendations are based on a user's activity from the past 10 days.
What should you do first?
You need to create a retention policy to delete content after seven years from the following locations:
* Exchange Online email
* SharePoint Online sites
* OneDrive accounts
* Microsoft 365 Groups
* Teams channel messages
* Teams chats
What is the minimum number of retention policies that you should create?
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.
You create a data loss prevention (DLP) policy and select.
Use Notifications to inform your users and help educate them on the proper use of sensitive info.
Which apps will show the policy tip?
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains a trainable classifier named Trainable1.
You plan to create the items shown in the following table.
Which items can use Trainable 1?
A trainable classifier in Microsoft Purview is used to automatically identify and classify unstructured data based on content patterns. The classifier can be used in:
1. Retention Labels (Label2) Supported
Trainable classifiers can be linked to retention labels to automatically classify and apply retention policies to documents.
2. Retention Label Policies (Policy1) Supported
Retention label policies define how and where retention labels are applied, including automatically using trainable classifiers.
3. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Policies (DLP1) Supported
Trainable classifiers can be used in DLP policies to detect and protect sensitive content automatically.
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You recently discovered that the developers at your company emailed Azure Storage Account keys in plain text to third parties.
You need to ensure that when Azure Storage Account keys are emailed, the emails are encrypted.
Solution: You configure a mail flow rule that matches the text patterns.
Does this meet the goal?
To ensure Azure Storage Account keys are encrypted when sent via email, you need a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy that detects Azure Storage Account keys using a sensitive information type and automatically encrypts emails containing these keys.
Text patterns in mail flow rules are not as reliable as sensitive information types in DLP.
Mail flow rules lack advanced content detection and machine learning-based classification, making them less effective than DLP.
