About this Exam
The Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals (SC-900) validates foundational knowledge of security, compliance, and identity concepts across Microsoft cloud services. This certification covers the core principles of Zero Trust, defense in depth, and the shared responsibility model specific to Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365. You will learn about Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) for identity and access management, Microsoft Defender for Cloud for threat protection, Microsoft Sentinel for security information and event management (SIEM), and Microsoft Purview for compliance and data governance. The SC-900 is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in cloud security roles and serves as a foundation for more advanced security certifications like AZ-500 and SC-200. The exam does not require technical hands-on experience but does expect understanding of how Microsoft security tools work together to protect organizations.
