🔐 SY0-601 vs SY0-701 Study Gap Check — Find Your Missing Domains

CompTIA's updated SY0-701 objective set goes live July 1, 2026 — 5 days away. If you've been studying with SY0-601 materials, you have gaps: AI-enabled threats, CMMC 2.0, Zero Trust, and supply chain security now carry real exam weight and aren't covered in SY0-601 prep. This 35-question gap check pinpoints exactly which new domains your materials missed. Instant score, no sign-up.

What this test covers

SY0-601 study guides skip four domains now live in the July 2026 SY0-701 update: generative AI security risks (prompt injection, deepfakes, adversarial ML), CMMC 2.0 compliance for DoD contractors, the PDP/PEP Zero Trust model, and SBOM-based supply chain security. Candidates relying on SY0-601 materials to prep for SY0-701 consistently find these gaps too late. This test uses 35 exam-style questions to surface exactly which new SY0-701 domains you're missing and how far off the passing threshold you are. Score below 70? The AI Report ($19) builds a personalised 14-day remediation plan targeting only your SY0-701 gaps — not topics you already know.

AI-Enabled Threats — prompt injection, deepfakes, adversarial attacks
CMMC 2.0 Compliance — levels, CUI requirements, NIST SP 800-171
Zero Trust Architecture — PDP/PEP model, never-trust-always-verify
Supply Chain Security — SBOM, build pipeline attacks, third-party risk
SY0-701 Core Domains — cryptography, network security, incident response, governance

Frequently asked questions

What study material gaps exist between SY0-601 and SY0-701?

SY0-601 materials don't cover four domains now live in SY0-701: (1) AI-enabled threats — prompt injection, deepfake-based social engineering, adversarial ML attacks; (2) CMMC 2.0 — DoD contractor compliance levels, CUI requirements, NIST SP 800-171 mapping; (3) Zero Trust Architecture — the PDP/PEP enforcement model, microsegmentation, identity-centric access; (4) Supply chain security — SBOM, build pipeline integrity, third-party risk management. These gaps are tested on SY0-701 from July 1, 2026.

How many questions target the new SY0-701 domains?

The full test (Hard mode) has 35 questions — 25 covering the five core SY0-701 domains (threats/attacks, architecture, implementation, operations/incident response, governance) plus 10 questions specifically targeting the new July 2026 additions: AI security, CMMC 2.0, Zero Trust, and supply chain.

I've only studied SY0-601 material — can I still pass SY0-701?

SY0-601 and SY0-701 share ~70% of content in the five core domains, so prior study transfers substantially. The risk is the 30% of new material — especially AI-enabled threats and CMMC 2.0 — which SY0-601 prep doesn't address at all. This gap check tells you how exposed you are and what to close in the time you have left.

What score means I'm ready for Security+ SY0-701?

A score of 85–100 is Exam Ready. 70–84 is Almost Ready — targeted review on your identified gaps should close it in 1–2 weeks. Below 70 on the new domains specifically, the AI Report ($19) maps a personalised 14-day remediation plan to only your SY0-701 weak areas.

What happens after July 1, 2026?

CompTIA's updated SY0-701 objective set becomes the live exam from July 1, 2026. The transition window (April 21 – June 30, 2026) when both SY0-601-era and new SY0-701 materials were accepted ends. After July 1, exams draw exclusively from the updated objective pool — AI, CMMC 2.0, Zero Trust, and supply chain questions become unavoidable.
