PL-900 - Describe the Core Components of Microsoft Power Platform - Section 2.2

Describe connectors including standard, premium, and custom connectors used to integrate data sources.

Distinguish between standard, premium, and custom connectors in Power Platform, and recognise that premium connectors require additional licensing. Understand how triggers and actions work within a connector, and when an on-premises data gateway is needed to reach local data sources.

Power Platform uses TLS 1.2 or higher to encrypt Dataverse data while it is written to and stored on disk, providing the platform's encryption-at-rest protection for stored records. Is this statement correct?

  • AYes
  • BNo Correct
In Power Platform, TLS 1.2 or higher encrypts data in transit, while encryption at rest is handled by SQL Server Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) on disk - two distinct mechanisms. TLS is a transport-layer protocol: the grounding says it secures the connection between user devices and Microsoft datacentres, encrypting data in transit, with TLS 1.2 or higher required for accessing the server endpoints. It does not encrypt data at rest. The grounding states that encryption at rest is provided separately by SQL Server Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), which performs real-time encryption of data when it is written to disk. So attributing on-disk, at-rest encryption to TLS is false.

Why A is wrong: A learner who knows "TLS encrypts Power Platform data" might answer Yes by overgeneralising it to all data states. But TLS only protects data moving across the network. Stored data is encrypted by TDE, a different mechanism, so Yes wrongly conflates encryption in transit with encryption at rest.

Why B is correct: Correct. TLS is a transport-layer protocol: the grounding says it secures the connection between user devices and Microsoft datacentres, encrypting data in transit, with TLS 1.2 or higher required for accessing the server endpoints.
