SC-401 Microsoft Certified: Information Security Administrator Associate

It is aimed at people doing hardening systems, detecting attacks and responding to them, or moving into it deliberately. It maps to roles such as Security Analyst, SOC Analyst, Security Engineer and Penetration Tester. We work from what you already do daily and close the rest.

The exam is built around hardening systems, detecting attacks and responding to them: concretely, log and alert triage, hardening and patching and incident response drills. We track Microsoft's published objective list rather than summarising it.

It is listed at USD 250, or USD 149 with WebAsha's 10% discounted voucher. Microsoft sets the price and it varies by region and currency, so confirm the current amount with our team before paying.

It is registered as SC-401. The code matters at booking: similar Microsoft titles are easy to confuse.

Duration, question count and the pass mark are set by Microsoft and revised between versions. Check the official page for current values. We verify them at booking so you never prepare against stale numbers.

Whether anything is formally required is decided by Microsoft and listed officially. The practical test is whether you can already perform log and alert triage, hardening and patching and incident response drills unaided. Our advisors will say if a lower-level exam suits you better.

It varies with how much exposure you already have to hardening systems, detecting attacks and responding to them. We time the booking from your practice data instead of a generic schedule.

Sessions are live and instructor-led, with lab access you keep outside class hours. It matters because attack-and-defence lab scenarios only stick once you have done them yourself.

Yes, including attack-and-defence lab scenarios and question sets mapped to the objectives. Each attempt returns an objective-by-objective breakdown, so revision targets weak areas instead of the topics you enjoy.

Microsoft decides retake terms, and they are not the same across its portfolio. Read the official terms, and we will focus the retake prep on the objectives you dropped marks on.

Validity and any recertification requirement are set by Microsoft and change from time to time. Confirm the current terms on the official certification page. We flag the renewal path at booking so it does not surprise you years later.

Whether you can sit it remotely is Microsoft's decision and varies by certification and country. We confirm which options are open to you in your country when the voucher is issued.

Yes, they are genuine Microsoft vouchers, booked through the proper channel. We do not sell leaked or real exam questions, because that breaches Microsoft's certification policy and puts your credential at risk.

It maps onto roles such as Security Analyst, SOC Analyst, Security Engineer and Penetration Tester. It will not replace experience, though it does signal you can run log and alert triage, hardening and patching and incident response drills without hand-holding.

Employers care because a missed alert becomes a breach. Preparation for SC-401 Microsoft Certified: Information Security Administrator Associate is built around hardening systems, detecting attacks and responding to them, so the practice stays useful after the certificate arrives.

Yes. We run SC-401 Microsoft Certified: Information Security Administrator Associate cohorts for teams, each participant getting their own lab for log and alert triage, hardening and patching and incident response drills and Microsoft vouchers handled centrally. We will scope batch size and dates with you.

Contact WebAsha Technologies. We confirm the current Microsoft fee, format and objectives, issue the official voucher, and help you schedule. We only book once your practice results say you are ready.
