Awarded for demonstrating that the holder can build and operate a severity model that combines technical severity, exploitability, reachability, asset criticality, data sensitivity and exposure without inventing precision, that is co designed with the engineers who use it, that carries a real override with a recorded reason, and that is recalibrated on a stated cadence.
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.
