Overview of this book

Cloud technologies have massively increased the amount of data being produced and the places in which this data is stored. Without proper planning and discipline in configuring information protection for your data, you may be compromising information and regulatory compliance. Microsoft Information Protection Administrator SC-400 Certification Guide begins with an overview of the SC-400 exam, and then enables you to envision, implement, and administer the Information Protection suite offered by Microsoft. The book also provides you with hands-on labs, along with the theory of creating policies and rules for content classification, data loss prevention, governance, and protection. Toward the end, you'll be able to take mock tests to help you prepare effectively for the exam. By the end of this Microsoft book, you'll have covered everything needed to pass the SC-400 certification exam, and have a handy, on-the-job desktop reference guide.

Introducing the SC-400 exam objectives

In this book, we will cover the exam objectives for the SC-400 Information Protection Administration exam. The objectives of the exam are closely followed within the structure of this book. Each exam objective is weighted differently. The weight of the objective is used as a compass for understanding the knowledge required for that section as well as a guide to understanding the potential number of questions you can expect in the exam for the specific topic. The following table shows the objectives covered within the SC-400 exam:

Table 1.1 – Objectives of the SC-400 exam

Table 1.1 – Objectives of the SC-400 exam

You can find further details on the topics that are covered in the SC-400 exam objectives at the following link: https://query.prod.cms.rt.microsoft.com/cms/api/am/binary/RE4Mr80.

The weight percentage does not mean that if an objective is at 10%, then you will only get 6 questions out of 60 on this area. Microsoft exams use a scoring scale of 1000 based on the type of question and the objectives covered in that question. The weights of the objectives will aid you in understanding the standing that is placed on the specific objective.

The next section will provide information on, and insight into, the types of roles that this exam highlights and how the SC-400 exam can assist you in your professional development.
