Awarded for completing Building a Data Classification Programme and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to design a workable tiered classification scheme, apply it at creation and retroactively, use automated tooling within its honest limits, assign durable ownership, connect classification to downstream controls, and report coverage honestly.
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.
