SC-900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals

SC-900 is Microsoft's entry-level security certification, covering the conceptual fundamentals of security, compliance, and identity management across Microsoft's security product ecosystem: Microsoft Entra ID (identity and access management), Microsoft Purview (compliance and data governance), and Microsoft Defender (threat protection). This official Microsoft Learn path mirrors the exam's skills outline directly.

It's a useful entry point for IT professionals and security generalists who need to understand Microsoft's security and compliance tooling conceptually before specializing into deeper technical security certifications. Combined with this catalog's broader cybersecurity courses (Google Cybersecurity Certificate, CompTIA Security+), SC-900 provides the Microsoft-ecosystem-specific layer many security and IT roles require.
