New name: Information Protection and Compliance Administrator Associate certification
As we announced a couple of months ago, we updated the certification name to the Microsoft Certified: Information Protection and Compliance Administrator Associate certification and the exam name to Exam SC-400: Administering Information Protection and Compliance in Microsoft 365 as we recognized the need to expand this certification and exam to include compliance features.
The Exam SC-400 evaluates your proficiency in performing the following technical tasks: implementing information protection, implementing DLP, implementing data lifecycle and records management, monitoring and investigating data and activities through Microsoft Purview, and managing insider and privacy risks in Microsoft 365.
