A developer's guide to operating Safeguard from inside GitHub Copilot: disambiguating GitHub Copilot from Microsoft Copilot Studio and Microsoft 365 Copilot, connecting Copilot's own agent mode to Safeguard's Model Context Protocol server, checking a package, explaining a vulnerability and both drafting and applying a fix, and scoping the connection with per-developer, least-privilege credentials. You will finish with a worked session from question to verified merged fix and a checklist for rolling this out across a team.
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.
