A deep dive into the United States federal software security stack: Executive Order 14028 and the NIST Secure Software Development Framework in brief, then the CISA Secure Software Development Attestation Form in real depth, including exactly who must sign it and why, and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) at its High baseline, covering authorisation paths, the authorisation boundary and continuous monitoring. It closes by showing how a vendor prepares evidence once and reuses it for both attestation and a FedRAMP authorisation.
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.
