A hands-on first week with Safeguard TPRM for anyone who has just been asked to get a grip on supplier software risk. Pick and tier your first vendors, create their records, send your first SBOM request, validate what comes back, read the 0 to 100 vendor Risk Score, and set up the alerts that keep watching after you stop.
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.
