Group Enrollment with Friends or Colleagues | Get a quote
The Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert credential (exam SC-100) is the most senior security certification in the Microsoft ecosystem. This course prepares you for the exam: designing a Zero Trust strategy and architecture; evaluating governance, risk and compliance (GRC) technical strategies and security operations strategies; and designing security for identity, infrastructure, data and applications - drawing on the Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architectures (MCRA), the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), and tools such as Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Purview. It is a design and strategy exam: you are tested on what to recommend and the trade-offs, not on configuring a single setting. Important: to be awarded the credential you must also hold a qualifying Associate security certification - SC-200 (Security Operations Analyst), SC-300 (Identity and Access Administrator) or AZ-500 (Azure Security Engineer). Any one qualifies; AZ-900 (Fundamentals) does not count. If you do not yet hold one, earn it first (we offer those courses too). Confirm the current qualifying list on the Microsoft site.
Security architecture is one of the most senior and best-paid roles in technology, and this is Microsoft's top security credential. It proves you can design and evaluate an organisation's entire security strategy - Zero Trust, GRC, security operations, and security for identity, infrastructure, data and applications - across Azure and Microsoft 365. As an Expert credential with a required Associate prerequisite, it signals genuine, senior capability, and it is widely recognised for security architect, security leadership and CISO-track roles.
