Awarded for completing The Finding Lifecycle: From First Seen to Closed and Back and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to operate a finding through its full lifecycle, choose the correct clock for a given metric or service level window, classify a returning finding correctly as regressed, reopened or new, and assemble the evidence trail an auditor expects.
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.
