Awarded for completing Continuous Integration for Secure Development and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to place security checks correctly across the development loop, design pull request feedback developers accept, protect build reproducibility and provenance, and measure whether a secure development loop is actually working.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
