Q42 Key Vault Domain 4 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

Which practice most reduces blast radius if one application is compromised?

  1. A One vault for the whole organisation
  2. B Separate vaults per application and environment with scoped role assignments (correct answer)
  3. C Sharing one identity across apps
  4. D Disabling logging

Shortcut: Vault-per-application-per-environment means a compromised identity can reach only that vault's contents, and it simplifies both RBAC and throttling isolation.
