The design of the plane that receives every security finding an organisation produces. Identity is the central subject: what makes two findings the same finding across different tools, repositories, container images and time, designed rather than assumed. Provenance retained per source, severity as a computed field rather than a copied one, the storage and query shape that makes an advisory question answerable in minutes, and a migration from several queues into one without losing history, ownership or suppression reasoning.
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.
