A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A retail company wants to automatically block outbound emails containing credit card numbers, while auditing similar internal attempts. Which Microsoft Purview solution should the compliance team configure to meet this requirement?
The concept
Compliance solutions are told apart by what they inspect. Some look at who may talk to whom. Some watch behavioral indicators attached to a person, and others govern how administrative privilege is held. Exactly one family reads the content of an item, matches it against a defined pattern, and then chooses an action per match: allow, log, or stop.
Why this answer
The scenario needs detection of specific sensitive data (credit card numbers), plus block and audit actions on matches, which is exactly what a DLP policy is built to define.
- Correct: DLP policies define sensitive info, conditions, and actions like block or audit.
- BInformation Barriers restrict two-way communication between groups, not data-content matching.
- CInsider Risk Management identifies risky user activity patterns, not content-based blocking.
- DPrivileged Access Management limits standing administrative access, unrelated to email content.
- ECustomer Key controls encryption root keys, not detection or blocking of sensitive content.
