A drill for Security Operations (SecOps) teams on the first twenty four hours after a zero-day vulnerability breaks publicly: answering are we affected in minutes from the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and inventory, containing without a patch, mitigating and detecting exploitation, and communicating with customers and regulators, illustrated with worked historical timelines.
Nothing. Every course, exam, and certificate on the catalog is free — including retakes. All you need is a free Safeguard account.

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.
