Short answer

C CAE protects both SharePoint Online and Exchange Online under the Microsoft 365 profile.

Question

You have on-premises Windows 11 devices that have the Global Secure Access client deployed. You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that uses Microsoft SharePoint Online and Exchange Online. You deploy Microsoft Entra Internet Access from the on-premises network to Microsoft 365. The deployment has the Microsoft 365 profile enabled and contains the following: • Default traffic policies for Microsoft 365 services • A linked Conditional Access policy that performs compliant network checks with continuous access evaluation and is applied to all users • An assignment to all the devices • An assignment to a remote network associated with the on-premises network Which Microsoft 365 resources are protected by using continuous access evaluation?
  1. SharePoint Online only
  2. Exchange Online only
  3. both SharePoint Online and Exchange Online Correct Answer

Key Takeaways

CAE is supported for both SharePoint Online and Exchange Online; the M365 profile enables CAE signaling for these workloads, so both are protected, not just one.

With the Microsoft Entra Internet Access Microsoft 365 profile and linked Conditional Access, continuous access evaluation (CAE) protects both SharePoint Online and Exchange Online, so the answer is both services.

Common mistake: Selecting only SharePoint (A) or only Exchange (B) — CAE applies to both workloads under the Microsoft 365 profile.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

Continuous access evaluation (CAE) is supported for both Microsoft SharePoint Online and Microsoft Exchange Online. When the Microsoft 365 profile of Entra Internet Access is enabled and the linked Conditional Access policy performs compliant network checks with CAE, both workloads are protected by CAE.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

CAE is not limited to one of the two workloads; selecting only SharePoint Online (A) or only Exchange Online (B) omits the other workload that CAE also covers.
