MS-900 question #52 exhibit

Answer Area

  • Compliance Manager evaluates both Microsoft and customer controls.
  • Compliance Manager allows you to assign individuals within the organization to be responsible for the control.
  • Compliance Manager provides the ability to take actions to address issues from within the Service Trust portal.

Explanation

Microsoft Compliance Manager tracks both Microsoft and customer-managed controls and allows task assignment, but actual configuration changes must be made in the respective service admin centers.

Approach. 1. 'Compliance Manager evaluates both Microsoft and customer controls.' -> Select Yes. Compliance Manager operates on a shared responsibility model, calculating your compliance score based on controls managed by Microsoft and those managed by your organization. 2. 'Compliance Manager allows you to assign individuals within the organization to be responsible for the control.' -> Select Yes. It includes workflow capabilities that let you assign improvement actions to specific users for implementation, testing, and documentation. 3. 'Compliance Manager provides the ability to take actions to address issues from within the Service Trust portal.' -> Select No. While Compliance Manager provides detailed guidance and tracks your progress, the actual technical implementation of a control (e.g., configuring MFA or setting up DLP policies) must be performed in the specific administrative portals (like the Microsoft 365 admin center or Azure portal), not directly from within the Service Trust Portal where Compliance Manager historically resided.

Common mistakes.

  • common_mistake. A common misconception is that Compliance Manager acts as a centralized configuration tool that can automatically remediate issues or apply settings directly from its own interface. It is primarily an assessment, tracking, and workflow tool.

Concept tested. Microsoft Compliance Manager capabilities, shared responsibility model, and compliance workflow management.
