The SC-200 is Microsoft's role-based certification for Security Operations – with clear focus on its own product ecosystem (Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, Security Copilot). It is not a vendor-neutral SOC certificate, but specifically validates the ability to detect and respond to threats in Azure and M365 environments. For teams already heavily invested in Microsoft technologies, it is very practical and relevant to the job market. Outside this stack, it loses significant weight. The exam will be updated on April 16, 2026 – candidates should review the current Study Guide.
