Question

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains a data loss prevention (DLP) policy named DLP1. DLP1 contains the DLP rules shown in the table. You need to ensure that when a document matches all the rules, users will see Tip 2. What should you change?

Exhibit

SC-401 question #144 exhibit

Options

  • Athe priority setting of Rule2 to 0
  • Bthe priority setting of Rule2 to 2
  • Cthe priority setting of Rule3 and Rule4 to 0
  • Dthe if there's a match for this rule, stop processing additional DLP policies and rules setting

Why each option

In DLP policies, rules are processed based on their priority, with lower numbers indicating higher priority. To ensure a specific user tip from Rule2 is displayed when a document matches all rules, Rule2 must be configured with the highest priority.

Athe priority setting of Rule2 to 0
Bthe priority setting of Rule2 to 2

Setting the priority of Rule2 to 2 would make it a lower priority than a rule with priority 0 or 1, meaning its tip might not be displayed if a higher-priority rule also matches and has a user notification.

Cthe priority setting of Rule3 and Rule4 to 0

Setting the priority of Rule3 and Rule4 to 0 would make them higher priority than Rule2 (unless Rule2 also has priority 0), causing their respective actions or tips to take precedence over Rule2's.

Dthe if there's a match for this rule, stop processing additional DLP policies and rules setting

Enabling 'if there's a match for this rule, stop processing additional DLP policies and rules' on a rule with a higher priority than Rule2 could prevent Rule2 from being evaluated, and thus Tip 2 would not be displayed.
