Awarded for completing Database Security Fundamentals and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to design layered database access controls, reason honestly about what encryption and auditing actually protect against, and assess a real database against a structured threat table.
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.
