Info Protection Admin

Microsoft Certified: Information Protection and Compliance Administrator Associate

Data is the new gold — and the SC-400 proves you know how to protect it. Information Protection and Compliance Administrators implement controls for data loss prevention (DLP), information protection, data lifecycle management, and compliance in Microsoft 365 and Azure environments. This cert unlocks the Information Protection and Governance advanced specialization, an increasingly critical differentiator as regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and industry-specific mandates force organizations to prove they have data governance under control. Partners with SC-400-certified team members win compliance-driven engagements that competitors without the specialization can't even bid on. The $10,000/year incentive value reflects how seriously Microsoft takes this space. With 304 practice questions covering sensitivity labels, DLP policies, retention, eDiscovery, insider risk management, and communication compliance, CERTIFY-Pro prepares you for the regulatory-meets-technology complexity that defines this role.
