A manufacturing company has 500,000 files on a legacy file server. They need to classify files containing personally identifiable information (PII) with a 'Confidential' label. The scanner will run during off-peak hours to avoid impacting production. They also want to ensure that files already labeled are not relabeled. What should you configure in the scanner policy?

Use the scanner's 'Report only' mode and never enforce labels, relying on users to manually label later.

Run the scanner only once and then uninstall it to avoid any impact.

Set the scanner to run in discovery mode first, then switch to enforcement mode with a rule that only labels files that are currently unlabeled.

Configure the scanner to label all files regardless of current label, and schedule it to run continuously.

A healthcare organization uses Exchange Online and needs to send encrypted emails to patients who may not have Microsoft accounts. The compliance team wants to ensure that patients can reply to encrypted messages without creating a Microsoft account. They also want to track when patients read the encrypted messages. What should you design?

Use S/MIME with certificates issued by your organization to all patients.

Use Azure Information Protection labels to encrypt emails, but only for internal recipients.

Use Transport Layer Security (TLS) with your email partner to encrypt all messages in transit.

Use Microsoft Purview Message Encryption with the 'Encrypt-Only' template and enable the portal experience for one-time passcodes.
