Microsoft's credential for identity itself — the one certification in its Security, Compliance, and Identity family built entirely around access and authentication, the layer every other Microsoft security role assumes is already handled.

SC-300 certifies the skills that sit underneath every other Microsoft security role: implementing and managing user identities, implementing authentication and access management, planning workload identities, and automating identity governance. It's the credential hiring managers look for when a role is built around who gets access to what — Entra ID, conditional access, entitlement management — rather than threat hunting or data classification. Holding it also opens Microsoft's SC-100 Cybersecurity Architect Expert path, which lists SC-300 among the associate-level certifications it's built on, making this the credential that turns an IT admin into the person cloud security architecture actually depends on.
