Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Remove the common initiative from all subscriptions until the legacy team finishes
  2. B.Rename the blocked resource so the documented exception becomes unnecessary
  3. C.Evaluate a narrowly scoped, time-bound exemption with an accountable risk owner, compensating controls, and monitored remediation

  5. E.Move the workload into an unmonitored subscription with no exception record

✓ Correct answer

  • Evaluate a narrowly scoped, time-bound exemption with an accountable risk owner, compensating controls, and monitored remediation

Evaluate a narrowly scoped, time-bound exemption with an accountable risk owner, compensating controls, and monitored remediation: This treats the justified workload exception without weakening unrelated controls across the estate. Remove the common initiative from all subscriptions until the legacy team finishes: This exposes unrelated workloads to the same governance gap. Move the workload into an unmonitored subscription with no exception record: That avoids governance rather than managing risk. Give the deployment identity broader RBAC and assume it overrides a deny policy: More role permissions do not generally bypass applicable Policy deny enforcement. Rename the blocked resource so the documented exception becomes unnecessary: Naming does not reliably change the requirement or its policy condition.
