Question 580
During an access-management pilot, the engineer is tasked with the following: A compliance team needs low-cost immutable retention of selected audit data outside the interactive Microsoft Entra portal. Which action best addresses the requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct implementation. Export the required directory log categories to a suitably protected Azure Storage account with defined retention controls. It meets the stated requirement: A compliance team needs low-cost immutable retention of selected audit data outside the interactive Microsoft Entra portal. Acceptance evidence is: A sampled old event can be retrieved from the configured storage destination after the portal's shorter window.
Incorrect Answers
The diagnostic settings point to a different Event Hub namespace or lack its send authorization. That condition is not the problem here: No diagnostic storage export was configured for the audit log category. The targeted implementation is: Export the required directory log categories to a suitably protected Azure Storage account with defined retention controls.
The diagnostic export sent data to another destination or omitted the required AuditLogs category from the selected workspace. That condition is not the problem here: No diagnostic storage export was configured for the audit log category. The targeted implementation is: Export the required directory log categories to a suitably protected Azure Storage account with defined retention controls.
The analyst searched directory audit logs instead of sign-in logs. That condition is not the problem here: No diagnostic storage export was configured for the audit log category. The targeted implementation is: Export the required directory log categories to a suitably protected Azure Storage account with defined retention controls.
