Getting every security relevant signal into the unified findings plane, honestly and completely. First party scanning engines, connected commercial tools, uploads of binaries, manifests and bills of materials, advisory and threat intelligence feeds that update a standing inventory rather than report a new event, runtime signals with their own trust profile, and findings that arrive from a partner, a customer or an external report. For each source: what it can tell you, what it structurally cannot, how often it should refresh, and what breaks silently when it stops, including the source that goes quiet without anyone noticing.
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.
