Safeguard Academy. Train your team. Certify your engineers.
Structured training programmes for the people who actually use the platform — developers, security engineers, AppSec leads, platform engineering, and incident responders. Plus a public Certified Practitioner programme.
Four tracks, four audiences.
Each track ends with an exam and a verifiable, signed certification record.
Safeguard Certified Developer
For engineers using IDE + CLI + Safeguard Code.
- Lion inline workflows in the IDE.
- PR-time gates and how to interpret them.
- Auto-fix review: when to accept, when to push back.
Safeguard Certified Security Engineer
For security teams running the platform day to day.
- Eagle/Griffin reasoning trace review.
- Policy authoring and exception lifecycle.
- Break-glass workflows and audit reconciliation.
Safeguard Certified Platform Administrator
For platform / DevOps owners.
- Deployment shapes — shared, dedicated, VPC, sovereign.
- Tenant configuration and capacity planning.
- SSO / SCIM and audit-log integration with your SIEM.
Safeguard Certified Compliance Lead
For GRC / compliance leads.
- Mapping findings to SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, PCI.
- Evidence collection and continuous control monitoring.
- Customer security questionnaire automation.
Shorter courses, deep on a single topic.
Each course is 30–90 minutes. Mix and match, or stack them toward a certification.
MCP Server fundamentals
What the Model Context Protocol is, how the Safeguard MCP server exposes platform data, and how to wire it into your agent stack.
AI-BOM 101
AI Bill of Materials — what to track for models, weights, training data references, and runtime dependencies.
Reachability analysis primer
Static and dynamic reachability — separating exploitable findings from background noise.
Writing your first policy
From a plain-English security requirement to a versioned, testable policy that gates merges.
Coordinated disclosure workflow
When the platform finds a third-party vulnerability, how to drive coordinated disclosure cleanly.
Sovereign deployment readiness
Air-gap installs, customer-controlled keys, and what to evaluate before signing off on sovereign.
Auto-fix review playbook
A reviewer's checklist for accepting, rejecting, or modifying machine-proposed patches.
Reading a Griffin reasoning trace
HYPOTHESIS / CITED PATH / DISPROOF / PROPOSED PATCH — interpreting structured reasoning output.
Three ways to learn.
Self-paced
Access the full catalogue via the customer portal. Track progress, retake quizzes, and earn certification badges on completion. Open to every active tenant.
Instructor-led
A live virtual cohort runs once a quarter for each certification track. Office hours, Q&A with Safeguard engineers, and group exercises against a shared sandbox tenant.
On-site
For enterprise teams with 50+ engineers, we deliver custom on-site programmes built around your stack, your repos, and your existing security workflows.
Free Academy access, for the people who teach the next cohort.
Active channel partners
Safeguard Academy is free for engineers and pre-sales staff at active channel partners. Certifications are recognised in our partner directory and feed into partner tiering.
Accredited universities
Accredited universities running secure-software-engineering programmes get bulk access for enrolled students, plus instructor materials and a sandbox tenant for coursework.
