Data Loss Prevention Policies for Microsoft 365 | Exam MS-500 Answer

Protecting Information: Policies and Rules for Microsoft 365 Security Administration

Question

You are a global administrator in an organization with a Microsoft 365 subscription.

You want to protect the information that is being shared both inside and outside of your organization, so you decide to create Data Loss Prevention policies.

Your company has a big customer base in France, and you want to make sure email containing France National ID Card information cannot be sent out of your organization.

Administrator and the user who is sending the email must be notified when rule match occurs.

For security reasons you would also like the administrator to be notified whenever someone emails Azure Storage Account Key information within your organization.

The user sending the Storage Account Key information must also be notified when rule match occurs.

You want to restrict users from sharing SWIFT Code from OneDrive outside of your organization, but also enable users to override the policy if needed.

Users must state a business justification if they choose to override the policy.

Lastly you would like the administrator to be notified whenever someone is sharing a .exe file from OneDrive within your organization.

The users sending and receiving the file must not be notified. What is the minimum number of policies and rules needed to achieve this?

Reference:

To know more about DLP policies, please refer to the link below:

To achieve the requirements mentioned, we need to create a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy with several rules. The policy will apply to email messages and files shared through OneDrive.

The first requirement is to prevent the sharing of French National ID Card information outside of the organization. For this, we need to create a DLP rule that checks for the presence of National ID Card information in an email. We will create an Exchange transport rule that applies this DLP rule to outgoing emails. The rule should be configured to block the email and send a notification to both the sender and the administrator.

The second requirement is to notify the administrator whenever someone emails Azure Storage Account Key information within the organization. For this, we need to create a DLP rule that checks for the presence of Azure Storage Account Key information in an email. We will create an Exchange transport rule that applies this DLP rule to internal emails only. The rule should be configured to send a notification to the administrator only.

The third requirement is to restrict users from sharing SWIFT Code from OneDrive outside of the organization but allow users to override the policy with a business justification. For this, we need to create a DLP policy that applies to files shared through OneDrive. We will create a DLP rule that checks for the presence of SWIFT Code in a file. The rule should be configured to block the file from being shared outside of the organization, but also allow users to override the policy with a business justification.

The fourth requirement is to notify the administrator whenever someone is sharing a .exe file from OneDrive within the organization. For this, we need to create a second DLP policy that applies to files shared through OneDrive. We will create a DLP rule that checks for the presence of .exe files in a file. The rule should be configured to send a notification to the administrator only.

Based on the above requirements, we need two policies and four rules to achieve all the requirements.

  • Policy 1: One DLP rule to block French National ID Card information in outgoing emails and send notifications to both the sender and the administrator.
  • Policy 2: Three DLP rules, one to send notifications to the administrator for Azure Storage Account Key information in internal emails, one to block SWIFT Code from being shared outside of the organization but allow override with a business justification, and one to send notifications to the administrator for .exe files shared on OneDrive.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. 2 policies, 4 rules.
