SC-900T00-A: Introduction to Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Course Overview

SC-900T00-A: Introduction to Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Course Overview

The Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900T00-A course is designed to provide learners with foundational knowledge of security, compliance, and Identity management across cloud-based and related Microsoft services. The course is divided into four modules, each focusing on a different aspect of Microsoft's security and compliance capabilities.

In Module 1, participants are introduced to the basic concepts of security, compliance, and identity, setting the stage for a deeper dive into these areas.

Module 2 covers the capabilities of Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), which is an integral part of Microsoft Entra. This module provides hands-on labs to explore Azure AD services, Authentication, Access management, and Identity protection.

Module 3 focuses on the security solutions available within Microsoft's ecosystem, including Azure security features, Azure Sentinel, and Microsoft 365 Defender. Learners will engage with labs to gain practical experience with these tools.

Lastly, Module 4 delves into Microsoft's compliance solutions, discussing the Information protection, Governance, eDiscovery, and Audit capabilities provided by Microsoft Purview and other tools, complemented by practical labs.

This course will benefit learners by equipping them with the skills to understand and leverage Microsoft's security and compliance features to protect data and comply with legal and regulatory standards.

Understanding Microsoft's Security Ecosystem Through SC-900

The Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals (SC-900T00-A) course represents more than an entry-level certification—it provides foundational expertise in the world's most comprehensive enterprise security platform. The Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900T00-A course is designed to provide learners with foundational knowledge of security, compliance, and Identity management across cloud-based and related Microsoft services. The course is divided into four modules, each focusing on a different aspect of Microsoft's security and compliance capabilities.

This foundational knowledge becomes increasingly valuable as organizations implement Zero Trust architectures and modernize their security operations. Zero Trust is a modern security strategy based on the principle of never trust, always verify. Instead of assuming everything behind the corporate firewall is safe, the Zero Trust model assumes breach and verifies each request as though it originates from an open network.

Technical Foundation: Zero Trust Implementation

Modern enterprise security demands sophisticated understanding of Zero Trust principles. The primary components of this process are Intune for device management and device security policy configuration, Microsoft Entra Conditional Access for device health validation, and comprehensive threat protection across the entire digital estate.

Zero Trust implementation requires deep technical understanding of:

  • Conditional Access Policies: Conditional Access policies enforce a zero-trust approach by making access decisions based on various signals and events, such as risky users, locations, application types, etc. This feature uses an if-then kind of logic to determine if additional actions are required before access is granted.

  • Identity Verification: Microsoft Entra ID enables strong authentication, a point of integration for endpoint security, and the core of user-centric policies to guarantee least-privileged access. Microsoft Entra Conditional Access is the policy engine used to make decisions for access to resources based on user identity, environment, device health, and risk verified explicitly at the time of access.

Market Demand and Financial Impact

Cybersecurity Skills Crisis

The cybersecurity profession faces unprecedented challenges. A record 15,852 cybersecurity practitioners and decision-makers participated in the study. In addition to the workforce gap, 90% of respondents indicated that they face skills shortages at their organizations. More than half of those surveyed (58%) believe a shortage of skills puts their organization at significant risk, and 64% say skills gaps present a greater challenge to securing their organizations than staffing shortages.

This skills shortage directly impacts organizational security capabilities and creates premium opportunities for certified professionals. Due to staff and budget reductions, almost 60% of respondents agree that skills gaps have significantly impacted their ability to secure their organizations, highlighting the critical importance of qualified security professionals.

Certification ROI and Salary Impact

Microsoft certifications demonstrate substantial return on investment. IT leaders agree certified employees add more value to their organizations than non-certified employees — most often at $30,000 or more a year. Consider that figure against the cost of a prep course (which could range from a couple hundred to many thousands) and exam fees (which are often a couple of hundred dollars or less). The ROI becomes evident quickly.

Specific Microsoft security certifications command premium salaries:

  • Azure Security Engineer roles: Being an Azure security engineer has been one of the highest-paying Azure jobs in the world for several decades.

  • Cybersecurity Architect positions: The average salary for a cybersecurity architect in the USA is $155,000 per year or $74.52 per hour. Entry-level positions start at $137,500 per year, while the most experienced workers can earn up to $195,867 per year.

According to the 2023 Skillsoft IT Skills & Salary report, 62% of those who earned certifications felt that the quality of their work improved. They're also more engaged at work (47%) and perform their duties faster (45%).
