Question 31: A Microsoft 365 administrator reviews a DLP alert and notices a user justified overriding a block by providing a business reason. Where is this justification stored?
- Azure AD sign-in logs
- Microsoft Defender Incidents queue
- The Audit log in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal (Correct answer)
- The user's mailbox sent items
Correct answer: The Audit log in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal
User override justifications for DLP policy matches are recorded as audit events in the Microsoft Purview Audit log.
Question 32: A Microsoft 365 administrator is configuring a Conditional Access policy to respond to risky sign-ins detected by Microsoft Entra ID Protection. The policy should apply when the sign-in risk level is medium or high. What is the most appropriate 'Grant' control to configure for this policy to allow users to self-remediate?
- Block access
- Require multifactor authentication (Correct answer)
- Require Microsoft Entra hybrid joined device
- Require device to be marked as compliant
Correct answer: Require multifactor authentication
When configuring a sign-in risk policy, requiring multifactor authentication allows a user to prove their identity and self-remediate the risk. Blocking access would prevent self-remediation, and requiring a compliant or hybrid joined device might not be possible for the user at that moment and doesn't directly address the sign-in risk itself.
Question 33: An admin observes in the Threat protection status report that many messages are being delivered despite having a phish verdict due to an ETR override. What does 'ETR' stand for in this context?
- Enhanced Threat Remediation
- External Threat Response
- Exchange Transport Rule (Correct answer)
- Email Tenant Record
Correct answer: Exchange Transport Rule
ETR stands for Exchange Transport Rule; when a transport rule is configured to bypass filtering (e.g., setting SCL to -1), it can override phishing verdicts and force message delivery.
Question 34: What is the purpose of the Microsoft 365 Deployment Center?

Its goal is to simplify the adoption and configuration of the Microsoft 365 suite across an organization.
Question 35: An administrator is reviewing the authentication methods policies in Microsoft Entra ID and notices separate legacy policies for MFA and SSPR. What is the recommended approach for managing authentication methods going forward?
- Use PowerShell to synchronize the settings between the legacy and modern policies.
- Disable the legacy policies and have users re-register their methods.
- Keep the MFA and SSPR policies separate for more granular control.
- Migrate the settings from the legacy MFA and SSPR policies to the modern 'Authentication methods' policy. (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Migrate the settings from the legacy MFA and SSPR policies to the modern 'Authentication methods' policy.
Microsoft's recommended approach is to use the modern 'Authentication methods' policy to centrally manage all methods for both MFA and SSPR. There is a migration guide within the Microsoft Entra admin center to help consolidate settings from the legacy policies into the modern, unified policy.
Question 36: An administrator has configured a Conditional Access policy in 'Report-only' mode. What is the effect of this mode?
- The policy is disabled and not evaluated
- The policy evaluates sign-ins and reports results without enforcing controls (Correct answer)
- The policy enforces controls but logs all evaluations
- The policy only enforces controls for users in a pilot group
Correct answer: The policy evaluates sign-ins and reports results without enforcing controls
Report-only mode evaluates all sign-ins against the policy conditions and logs what would happen, without actually enforcing the grant or block controls.
Question 37: What is Microsoft 365’s default security feature for protecting emails?

- Auto-labeling policy with a keyword sensitive information type (Correct answer)
- Manual label recommendation
- Trainable classifier
- Exact data match (EDM)
Correct answer: Auto-labeling policy with a keyword sensitive information type
An auto-labeling policy using a custom keyword as a sensitive information type will automatically classify documents containing that specific term.
Question 46: A Defender for Endpoint alert is classified as 'Informational' severity. What does this indicate?
- The activity is suspicious but has low impact on the organization (Correct answer)
- The alert requires immediate remediation
- The alert is a false positive and can be dismissed
- No further investigation is needed
Correct answer: The activity is suspicious but has low impact on the organization
Informational alerts indicate activity that may not be harmful in isolation but could be part of a larger attack pattern worth monitoring.
