Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Associate SC-200 Practice Question
You are designing a new Microsoft Sentinel workspace for Contoso. Compliance rules require that security event data be retained for at least 12 months, but analysts only need interactive query access to the most recent 90 days. The company wants the lowest possible cost and does not want to copy data outside the Log Analytics workspace. Which configuration should you recommend?
Set the workspace's default retention to 365 days with no archive tier.
Convert Microsoft Sentinel tables to Basic Logs and keep 12 months of hot retention.
Retain data for 90 days in the workspace and export older data to Azure Storage for 12 months.
Configure 90 days of interactive retention and enable Log Analytics archive for an additional 275 days.
Setting interactive retention to 90 days keeps recent data readily searchable at no extra charge. Moving the remaining 275 days to the Log Analytics archive tier meets the 12-month compliance requirement while incurring the lowest possible storage cost inside the workspace. Keeping all 365 days in the hot tier would be more expensive, exporting to external storage violates the in-workspace constraint, and Basic Logs do not apply to Microsoft Sentinel analytic tables.
