The annual security awareness course, written for adults who resent taking it. Five habits that prevent most of what actually happens to ordinary employees, each taught through a realistic scenario and an exact mechanism rather than a slogan: verifying money and access requests through a channel you already had, unique passwords with strong multi-factor authentication, never signing in from a link, keeping company data in company systems, and reporting early including your own mistakes. Forty minutes, no shaming, and an honest statement of what a completion record does and does not prove.
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.
