Validates that the holder can read and explain SPDX and CycloneDX documents, choose the right format for an audience, and generate, export, and critically review an SBOM using Safeguard.
How verification works
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
Every certificate has a public page at academy.safeguard.sh/cert/<id> — no account needed to view it
The page shows live status: valid, expired, or revoked — never a stale PDF
A QR code on the printed certificate points at the same page
One-click add to your LinkedIn profile; shared links unfurl as rich cards
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.
