Deep Dive
SC-400 retired in May 2025 and SC-401 is what replaced it - same Purview core, but rebuilt around a data-security role and with AI security added, so SC-400 study material misses a chunk of the current blueprint.
The exam lives in Microsoft Purview's decision points: sensitivity labels versus sensitive info types versus trainable classifiers, DLP policy scoping and priority when rules collide, retention labels versus retention policies, and insider risk management thresholds. The new layer is securing data that AI touches - Copilot interactions, DSPM for AI, and oversharing surfaced by AI tools.
It slots directly between the SC-200, SC-300, and SC-900 buyers I already serve. This PDF has 264 real questions from the actual SC-401, covering the Purview policy logic that decides the exam.
