Why each option
To enable Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps session control for a SharePoint Online site, a Conditional Access policy must first be created to route user sessions through Defender for Cloud Apps.
An access policy in MDCA is typically used to control access *to* apps, but the prerequisite for session control to function is routing through Conditional Access.
A session policy in MDCA defines what actions are controlled *during* a session (e.g., preventing downloads), but it relies on a Conditional Access policy to first direct the session to MDCA for enforcement.
App governance is a feature within MDCA focused on monitoring and managing SaaS app behaviors and data usage, not directly on enabling session control for a specific site.
Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (MDCA) session control integrates with Microsoft Entra Conditional Access. To leverage MDCA session control, you must first create a Conditional Access policy that directs relevant user sessions to MDCA for proxying and enforcement of session policies.
