The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a directly applicable European Union regulation that requires products with digital elements to be secure by design and by default, and requires manufacturers to maintain a Software Bill of Materials, handle vulnerabilities across a committed support period, and report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents on a staged timeline. This course walks scope and roles, the essential requirements and risk classification, the CE marking and conformity assessment process, the SBOM obligation in depth, and a practical readiness plan, hedging every date, penalty figure and article-level detail toward the current official text.
Nothing. Every course, exam, and certificate on the catalog is free — including retakes. All you need is a free Safeguard account.
None. The flagship course, Safeguard Certified Practitioner, is a beginner-level course — basic familiarity with how software is built helps, but every exam question is answerable from the lessons themselves.
You can retake it after a 24-hour cooldown, as many times as you need. Retakes are free, and each attempt draws a fresh random set of questions.
The Safeguard Certified Practitioner credential is valid for 24 months from issue. The expiry date is printed on the certificate and shown live on its public verification page. Renewing means passing the current exam again.
