Certify your team on SC-200 —
without the retake bill
Give your security operations analysts unlimited, exam-realistic SC-200 (Microsoft Security Operations Analyst) practice. Each $165 USD retake you avoid more than pays for a seat — and every seat also unlocks all 25 Microsoft certs, so the same people can keep certifying as your needs grow.
Why teams certify staff on SC-200
SC-200 is the SOC analyst cert — Defender XDR, Sentinel, incident response, and threat hunting. For MSSPs and security teams, it is the credential that proves your analysts can actually run the tools you sell monitoring on.
It contributes to the Solutions Partner for Security designation, and certifying your SOC staff is a direct, defensible signal of capability to security-conscious clients.
Partner relevance
SC-200 contributes toward the Solutions Partner for Security — so keeping staff certified helps protect your Microsoft partner designation and its co-sell benefits.

SC-200 for teams — FAQ
Is SC-200 right for our SOC team specifically?
Yes — it is built around day-to-day SOC operations: triaging alerts, responding to incidents, and hunting threats across Defender XDR and Sentinel. It maps more directly to analyst work than the broader SC-900 fundamentals.
How much of SC-200 is hands-on tooling?
The majority. Two of the three domains center on operating and responding within Defender and Sentinel, so practice that mirrors real alert and incident scenarios is especially valuable.
