India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act) 2023 structures data protection around Data Principals, Data Fiduciaries, Significant Data Fiduciaries and a novel Consent Manager role, with consent and breach mechanics that diverge from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in specific, practical ways. This course teaches every obligation from notice and consent through children's data, rights, breach intimation, cross border transfer, the penalty schedule and the Data Protection Board of India, contrasts it directly against a GDPR programme, and closes with the operational programme, including Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and secrets scanning.
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.
