Topics covered
The course follows the four skill areas Microsoft lists for the SC-900 exam:
- Security, compliance and identity concepts: key terms, shared responsibility and identity basics
- Microsoft Entra capabilities: identity types, authentication, access management, identity protection and governance
- Microsoft security solutions: Azure infrastructure security, security management, Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender XDR
- Microsoft compliance solutions: Service Trust Portal, privacy principles, Microsoft Purview, data lifecycle, insider risk, eDiscovery and audit
Who this course is for
- Students starting out in IT or security
- New or existing IT staff who want a security overview
- Business stakeholders who make decisions about Microsoft security tools
- Anyone preparing for the Microsoft SC-900 exam
It is a short, focused course, so it also works as a quick refresher for people who already use Microsoft 365 and want to understand the security and compliance tools behind it.
Before you start
You do not need security experience. Microsoft says candidates should be familiar with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, so it helps to know what these services are. If they are new to you, a fundamentals course such as AZ-900 or MS-900 first will make this one easier.
About the SC-900 exam
SC-900 is a fundamentals exam set by Microsoft. Passing it earns the Microsoft Certified: Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals certification. It checks that you understand the ideas behind security, compliance and identity, and what Microsoft’s own tools do in each area, including Entra, Sentinel, Defender XDR and Purview. It is a broad overview rather than a hands-on admin exam. Microsoft updates the skills list from time to time, so check the official study guide on Microsoft Learn before you book.
