Awarded for completing The Safeguard Cloud Credential Vault and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to specify the properties any credential store must have, write a credential's scope and risk statement, evaluate key management and rotation claims as questions rather than accept them as fact, test an audit trail for the events it actually covers, design the boundary with an existing secret manager, and establish this capability's availability and configuration in your own tenant before committing production credentials to it.
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.
