Course Overview

The SC 900 Exam Prep course by Microsoft is designed to prepare candidates for the Microsoft Certified: Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals certification, validating foundational knowledge in security, compliance, and identity (SCI) across cloud-based environments. This course is ideal for business stakeholders, IT professionals transitioning into security roles, and students seeking to build a career in cybersecurity. With over 80% of Fortune 500 companies adopting Microsoft’s cloud security solutions, understanding SCI fundamentals has become essential for roles such as Security Administrator, Compliance Analyst, and Identity Management Specialist. The curriculum aligns directly with the SC-900 exam objectives, ensuring learners gain relevant, up-to-date knowledge applicable across hybrid and cloud infrastructures.

Students engage with key Microsoft technologies including Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Firewall, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Purview, and the Service Trust Portal. Through hands-on labs conducted in the Azure Portal environment, learners configure real-world security controls such as Network Security Groups (NSGs), set up Conditional Access policies in Microsoft Entra ID, and explore threat detection using Microsoft Sentinel. One lab scenario involves creating and testing inbound and outbound rules on an NSG to secure a virtual machine, simulating actual infrastructure protection tasks. These practical exercises reinforce core concepts like Zero Trust, data loss prevention (DLP), and Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), giving students direct experience with tools used daily by security teams.

Achieving the Microsoft Certified: Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals certification demonstrates a recognized baseline competency valued by employers globally. Professionals with this credential can pursue entry-level security roles with average salaries ranging from $72,000 to $95,000 annually in the U.S., depending on experience and complementary skills. Koenig Solutions enhances preparation with official Microsoft courseware, 1-on-1 training options, and Guaranteed-to-Run batches, ensuring flexible and reliable access to expert instruction. By mastering the SC 900 Exam Prep content, learners lay the foundation for advanced certifications and long-term careers in cybersecurity, compliance, and identity management within modern cloud ecosystems.
