Frequently Asked Questions
The price depends on the package you choose. For CompTIA Security+, Profice offers Online Live instructor-led training (Live course, or Live course + exam) and Self-Paced E-Learning + Exam. The "+ exam" packages include the official CompTIA exam voucher, official courseware, hands-on labs, a certificate and lifetime support. If you buy an exam voucher on its own, CompTIA sets the price by country, so the UK exam cost differs from EU and US prices. Current prices for your region are shown in the pricing panel on this page (prices exclude VAT).
For IT professionals moving into cybersecurity, Security+ is one of the most widely recognised baseline certifications. It is vendor-neutral, covers security concepts, threats, architecture, operations and governance, and CompTIA maps it to a wide range of US DoD 8140 work roles. It is also the usual foundation before CySA+ or PenTest+.
Most candidates find Security+ moderately challenging rather than easy. The SY0-701 exam has up to 90 multiple-choice and performance-based questions, a 90-minute time limit and a passing score of 750 on a 100–900 scale. CompTIA recommends Network+ and two years of security or systems administration experience; structured study, labs and practice exams make a big difference.
SY0-701 is the current Security+ exam, launched in November 2023. CompTIA lists 11 June 2027 as the English-language retirement date, so SY0-701 is the version to prepare for if you plan to sit the exam before then.
Security+ supports roles such as Security Administrator, Systems Administrator, Junior Security Analyst, SOC Analyst and Cybersecurity Specialist. It is often listed as a baseline requirement for entry-level security roles, although hiring also depends on your experience, skills and local job market.
