A thirty minute weekly habit for executives who are responsible for security and are not technical, built from four things to look at, three questions to ask, and one number that is allowed to be bad. It covers what a healthy programme looks like from above, why a falling finding count is the most dangerous good news in security reporting, how to read percentages and averages that are accurate and uninformative, and what to escalate and to whom. It closes with the monthly, quarterly and annual beats that sit around the weekly slot.
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.
