SC-401 Information Security Administrator Practice Exam

About this course

Pass the Microsoft Information Security Administrator (SC-401) exam on your first attempt — the current replacement for the retired SC-400 Information Protection exam.If you came looking for the SC-400 (Information Protection Administrator), here's the key update: Microsoft retired SC-400 on May 31, 2025 and replaced it with SC-401: Administering Information Security in Microsoft 365, earning the Microsoft Certified: Information Security Administrator Associate credential. This is where modern Microsoft data security lives now. SC-401 validates that you can protect sensitive data using Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Defender — implementing information protection, data loss prevention and retention, and managing data security risks, alerts, and activities across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.SC-401 is a hands-on, practical exam. You'll face 40–60 questions in 100 minutes — including scenario items — that test what you'd actually configure: sensitivity labels and auto-labeling, sensitive information types and trainable classifiers, DLP policies (including endpoint and Adaptive Protection), retention policies and labels, Insider Risk Management, and the newer Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) for AI. Memorizing definitions won't cut it. The most reliable way to pass is realistic, scenario-driven practice, which is exactly what this course delivers.Why this certification mattersData is every organization's most valuable and most regulated asset, and Microsoft Purview is at the center of protecting it. SC-401 proves you can classify, label, protect, and govern sensitive data, prevent leaks, and respond to insider risks — increasingly including data used by AI and Copilot. It opens information security administrator, data protection, and compliance roles, and it renews for free each year.What makes this course differentThis is not recycled SC-400 content with a new label.
