SC-401 Information Security Administrator Associate course

Our Verdict

Since October 2021, this Information Security Certification Course has been a popular choice for those preparing for SC-400 or SC-401 exams. The course's strong suit lies in its solid foundation for beginners new to Microsoft Purview and hands-on activities led by a knowledgeable instructor. However, several factors contribute to the overall experience falling short of expectations. Outdated simulations with legacy interfaces result from frequent Microsoft updates, causing discrepancies between course content and real-world scenarios. Furthermore, depth and practice questions are lacking, diminishing its value as an all-inclusive exam preparation resource. Despite addressing critical topics, areas such as ediscovery, litigation hold deprecation, and insider risk management are left wanting. Enhancements can be made with additional real-world sample content, email notifications, and in-depth explanations based on the instructor's personal experience deploying these features. Although this course could benefit from improvements, it remains a worthwhile starting point for those looking to familiarize themselves with SC-400 and SC-401 certification concepts.
