The capstone breadth tour of the whole platform, from a standing start to continuous assurance. Following one running example organisation, this course walks every major stop a real rollout touches: connecting source code, container registries, AI models and uploads; turning on the right scanners across the application security testing, supply chain, and AI and agent security families; triaging findings by reachability and exploitability; letting Griffin's autonomous remediation turn fixable findings into tested pull requests; gating what is allowed to ship; signing and attesting releases; publishing a trust centre; mapping a compliance framework and starting automated evidence collection; and keeping all of it running through scheduling and metrics. It is the product tour companion to Continuous Safeguarding: The Whole Loop, End to End, referencing the Academy's focused courses throughout rather than repeating them, and it holds every capability to its real, honest maturity label from the first lesson to the last.
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.
