The GDPR makes a software company both a controller of its own account and marketing data and a processor of what customers entrust to it, and each role carries different duties under Articles 5, 6, 28, 30, 32, 33 and Chapter V. This course covers scope and lawful bases, data mapping and the ROPA, DPIAs, processor contracts and international transfers, data subject rights and the 72-hour breach clock, and shows how Safeguard's Risks, Vendors, Evidence, Monitoring, Tests and Questionnaires tabs, DSPM [EA] classification and continuous evidence mapping keep the programme provable rather than aspirational.
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.
