CompTIA lists SY0-701 as launched November 7, 2023, with a maximum of 90 multiple-choice and performance-based questions, a 90-minute duration, and a passing score of 750 on a 100-900 scale. Recommended experience is CompTIA Network+ plus two years in a security or systems administrator role. The V7 objective weights are General Security Concepts 12%, Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Mitigations 22%, Security Architecture 18%, Security Operations 28%, and Security Program Management and Oversight 20%.
