Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
Your company is adopting Microsoft 365, a Software as a Service offering. To clarify security duties, you review the shared responsibility model. Which of the following tasks remains primarily Microsoft's responsibility rather than the customer's?
Applying security updates to the underlying host operating systems that run Microsoft 365 services
Assigning user permissions to SharePoint Online sites
Creating conditional access policies that enforce multi-factor authentication for users
Configuring data retention labels for Exchange Online mailboxes
In a SaaS deployment such as Microsoft 365, Microsoft is responsible for securing and maintaining the service infrastructure, including the host operating systems that run the cloud workload. Customers, on the other hand, control how the service is used-for example, by setting conditional access rules, creating retention labels, and assigning SharePoint permissions. Because operating-system patching resides in the provider's portion of the stack, applying security updates to the underlying host OS is Microsoft's duty, while the other listed activities fall to the customer.
