A course for the executive and security leader who together carry a deal that a customer security review is holding. It maps the review as a process with stages and owners, shows where the elapsed weeks actually go, teaches what buyers are really testing behind the question as written, and works through an anonymised timeline of a blocked deal week by week. It covers how to answer honestly when the answer is not yet, how to tell a review you can shorten from a requirement you cannot meet, and how to build a repeatable response so the tenth review costs a fraction of the first.
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.
