This blog post is about Information Protection Administrator SC-400 exam questions that covers domains on implementing and managing Microsoft’s information protection solutions, data loss prevention & data governance.
Here are our newly updated 10+ Free questions on the Information Protection Administrator exam which are very similar to the SC-400 practice test as well as the real exam.
Also, note that the exam syllabus covers questions from the following domains:
- Domain 1: Implement information protection (35—40%)
- Domain 2: Implement data loss prevention (30—35%)
- Domain 3: Implement information governance (25—30%)
Let’s get started!
Domain 1: Implement Information Protection
Q1. In Whizlabs organization, the information protection team is tasked to implement an information and governance solution for Whizlabs organization, the team is newly starting their journey, whatever approach the team uses, will involve people, processes, and technology. From a process perspective, there are some major phases that the information team should follow for a successful implementation.
Arrange these phases in the correct order from the following options:
A. Define the data classification taxonomy🡪Define classification policy conditions 🡪 Create, test, and deploy the labels and policy settings 🡪 Ongoing usage, monitoring and remediation
B. Define classification policy conditions 🡪 Create, test, and deploy the labels and policy settings 🡪 Ongoing usage, monitoring and remediation 🡪 Define the data classification taxonomy
C. Define the data classification taxonomy🡪Define classification policy conditions 🡪 Ongoing usage, monitoring and remediation 🡪 Create, test, and deploy the labels and policy settings
D. Define the data classification taxonomy🡪 Create, test, and deploy the labels and policy settings 🡪 Ongoing usage, monitoring and remediation 🡪Define classification policy conditions
Answer: A
Option A is correct because, From a process perspective, here are the major phases you should follow for a successful implementation.
- Define the data classification taxonomy. The data classification taxonomy ends up as sensitivity and retention labels that will be applied to your content. These labels may surface in productivity applications, SharePoint Online sites, Microsoft Teams workspaces, and Exchange emails. They may be applied manually by users or automatically by Microsoft 365.
- Define classification policy conditions. Once you have built your taxonomy, you need to determine how you are going to find and classify the data in your environment and map it to the taxonomy.
- Create, test, and deploy the labels and policy settings. Once you determine the methods you will use to protect and govern your data, it is important to test everything thoroughly prior to deploying your configuration across the organization.
- Ongoing usage, monitoring and remediation. It is important to understand how data classification is being used and to ensure your policies are accurate and achieve the desired results.
Option B is incorrect because it is incorrect order as the process starts with a step “Define the data classification taxonomy” and not with “Define classification policy conditions”
Option C is incorrect because it is incorrect order as “ongoing usage, monitoring and remediation” should be done after the “create, test, and deploy the labels and policy settings” step.
Option D is incorrect because it is in incorrect order as the “Define classification policy conditions” step should be performed after the first step i.e., “Define the data classification taxonomy” and not as the last step.

Domain 1: Implement Information Protection
Q2. Which of the following are not the parts of Sensitive Information Type?
A . Primary pattern
B. Additional checks
C. Character proximity
D. Confidence level
E. Character length
Answer: E
Option A is incorrect because it is a part of the sensitive information type (shown in the screenshot) as, Primary pattern helps to search patterns for detection, consisting of keywords or regular expressions.
Option B is incorrect because it is a part of sensitive information type (shown in the screenshot) as Additional checks is a second search pattern for higher matching accuracy of the primary pattern, consisting of keywords.
Option C is incorrect because it is a part of sensitive information type (shown in the screenshot) as Character Proximity is used as a detection window in characters of primary patterns and additional evidence.
Option D is incorrect because it is a part of the sensitive information type (shown in the screenshot) as Confidence level is a supporting level of pattern and evidence matching accuracy.
Option E is correct because the character length component does not exist in the sensitive information types.

Case Study: Q.4 to Q.5
In Whizlabs organization, the information protection team is tasked to protect the organization’s sensitive data with Microsoft information protection which can help the team to discover sensitive and business-critical content across the organization, classify information, and protect content whenever it stays at the location or travels to another location.
Now, by using this solution, a compliance administrator from the team has created a sensitivity information type named “Secret Data” adding the pattern with keyword list as a primary and supporting element. (shown in the screenshot).
From the Information Protection menu in the compliance center, a compliance administrator added one sub-label named “Highly Secret Data” as shown in the screenshot. This label will now detect sensitive information related to highly confidential data and suggest appropriate labeling to the end-user.

Q 4. After this label is created, it won’t be available for use until a policy is created to either publish or auto-apply it. Is this correct?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer: Yes
Option A is correct because, whenever a label is created, we cannot use it until we publish or auto-apply it and when we start to publish the created label, we will be asked to create the policy for the label during the process.
Option B is incorrect because we cannot use the label before publishing the created label.
Domain 1: Implement Information Protection
Q.5 The first step in creating a label policy is to publish the label.
A. True

Domain 2: Implement Data Loss Prevention
Q.6 In Whizlabs organization, the compliance administrator is tasked with configuring data loss prevention for endpoints in your organization. Endpoint Data Loss Prevention settings create a framework in which Endpoint Data Loss Prevention policies work; a compliance administrator wants to limit where you can work with protected files. Which of the following settings, a compliance administrator explore to accomplish the task?
A. File path exclusions
B. Unallowed apps
C. Unallowed Browsers/Service Domains
D. Advanced classification scanning and protection
Answer: B
Option A is incorrect because File path exclusions are applied to all Endpoint DLP policies and allow you to limit where your policies are in effect.
Option B is Correct because Unallowed apps are applied when a policy blocks unallowed apps and allows you to limit where you can work with protected files.
Option A is incorrect because Unallowed Browsers/Service Domains are applied when a policy blocks unallowed browsers and allows you to limit where you can share protected files.
Option D is incorrect because advanced classification scanning and protection can use Exact Data Match and named entities in your Data Loss Prevention policies.

Domain 2: Implement Data Loss Prevention
Q.7 The information protection team wants to get overview of Data Loss Prevention violations from Data Loss Prevention reports which includes Data Loss Prevention policy matches, Data Loss Prevention incidents, and Data Loss Prevention false positives and user overrides reports. All these are used to fine-tune your policies and identify configurations. The team needs this reports quickly within 5-10 mins, is it possible to get these reports?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer: No
Option A is incorrect because DLP Reports which provides an overview of DLP violations can take up to 24 hours to update, hence it is not possible to get the reports in 5-10minutes.
Option B is correct because, for getting an update on the requested reports can take up to 24 hours.
