Microsoft Security Operations Analyst (SC-200) Boot Camp Microsoft Security Operations Analyst (SC-200) Certification Training Boot Camp

If your organization runs security on Microsoft tooling, yes — it is the credential that maps directly to the Sentinel and Defender XDR work an analyst actually does. If you work in a multi-vendor SOC with no Microsoft commitment, a vendor-neutral analyst credential like CySA+ travels further.

Microsoft updates the English version of the exam that day. The three skill areas and their published weights stay the same; the changes inside them are minor, and Microsoft’s own change log marks most groups as unchanged. This boot camp is built to the current outline on either side of the date.

Different jobs. SC-200 is for the analyst who watches and responds: triage, incidents, hunting. SC-500 is for the engineer who builds and hardens: identity, storage, networking, compute and posture management. If you spend your day in incident queues, SC-200.

With this boot camp you prepare in 4 days of focused, instructor-led training rather than the months self-study usually takes. The accelerated format works because it follows the exam objectives in a structured sequence, includes hands-on labs, and bundles an exam voucher so you can test while the material is fresh.

There is no mandatory prerequisite, but Microsoft expects working familiarity with Microsoft 365, Azure services and its security and identity tooling. The exam asks you to interpret Sentinel and Defender configurations rather than define terms, so console time matters more than reading.

Our Exam Pass Guarantee covers your second attempt at no charge, and you can re-sit the boot camp free for up to one year from your enrollment date. The guarantee exists so a single unsuccessful attempt never becomes a financial barrier to getting certified.

Yes. Every enrollment includes a voucher covering the full cost of the SC-200 exam, along with official courseware, practice materials, and hands-on labs.

ExamNav’s SC-200 boot camp is $2,755 for four days of live, instructor-led training. That price includes official courseware, the exam voucher, hands-on labs, unlimited practice exams, a pre-study learning path, and instructor support after class. It also carries our Exam Pass Guarantee: if you don’t pass on the first attempt, your second exam is on us.

Typical students are SOC Analysts working in Microsoft Sentinel and Defender; Security Analysts moving onto the Microsoft stack; Incident Responders in Microsoft 365 and Azure environments; and Threat Hunters learning KQL properly, along with people moving into those roles. If you need SC-200 to qualify for a job, meet a contract or compliance requirement, or step up to a more senior role, this course is built for you.

Yes. Every SC-200 class on our schedule is taught live online by an instructor, starting at 9:00am Eastern each day for four days. You attend in real time, ask questions, and work through the labs as you go. It is not a recorded course.

The SC-200 exam runs 100 minutes and you need 700 out of 1000 to pass. Microsoft does not publish a fixed question count. You keep the certification current with a free online renewal assessment each year.

Microsoft’s current exam outline for SC-200 has three domains: Manage a security operations environment (40–45%), Respond to security incidents (35–40%), and Perform threat hunting (20–25%). Our course outline follows the same domains, so your study time goes where the exam puts its weight.
