Microsoft - Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals (SC-900)

This certification validates foundational knowledge of security, compliance, and identity (SCI) concepts and how they are implemented across cloud-based and related Microsoft and Azure services. The exam assesses the ability to describe core security and compliance concepts (shared responsibility, defense-in-depth, Zero Trust, encryption and hashing, and GRC), identity concepts, and the capabilities of Microsoft Entra, Microsoft security solutions (Azure infrastructure security, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, and Microsoft Defender XDR), and Microsoft compliance solutions (the Service Trust Portal and Microsoft Purview). Candidates are expected to recognize and describe these capabilities at a conceptual level rather than configure or administer them.
