Subscribe to updatesWhen setting up your Learning Path, you’ve previously been able to add a due date that your learners should have completed their courses. This due date in some instances would show as being a day forward or behind depending on if learners were in a different timezone.
We’ve now added the ability to set the due time that courses should be completed by, and improved how the due date is shown to group leaders and their learners based on their current timezone.
In a move to simplify our subscription structure, we've merged the Enterprise Plan with the Team Plan, creating a more straightforward and cohesive offering, while all features remain available. It’s important to note that this update will not impact our existing customers, except for the actual plan name being changed.
We're thrilled to introduce a brand-new Organization Settings page, designed to streamline your organizational management tasks and configure SafeStack to meet your team’s needs. Access to this page is reserved exclusively for group leaders of customers on our paid Team plan.
Within this page you’ll find a handy new option to ensure that users from your organization, signing up to SafeStack on their own, get added to your existing SafeStack organization, instead of being added to a completely new SafeStack organization.
Note that such users will be invited as Learners into your SafeStack organization and will not occupy any seats, until a Group Leader assigns them to one of our training programs.
To keep your learners on the path to success, we’ll now send out a reminder to those who still have courses to complete. An in-app and email notification will be sent a few days before the due date of their Learning Path, and contain a quick link for them to finish their Learning Path.
Learners can opt-out of email notifications from their Profile page.
In order to help you meet your compliance needs with ease, SafeStack now provides a handy compliance page for you to check out all the courses you need to complete, in order to meet compliance training requirements for supported frameworks.
At the moment, SafeStack can help you reach awareness related training for the following compliance frameworks:

The SafeStack - Vanta integration now sends your users' security and compliance training data to Vanta every hour, so it can be included in Vanta's monitoring and reports.
SafeStack’s Security Awareness programme contains a lot of courses that help you meet compliance training requirements for frameworks like ISO27001, PCI DSS and SOC2.
If your organization is using Vanta to automate compliance related tasks, check out our Vanta integration to send your SafeStack users - and their compliance training information, automatically to Vanta.
SafeStack provides many types of reports to help learners and group leaders track progress of your security training journey.
All our reports now support server side pagination, loading chunks of data as requested by your browser - while you “page” through the reports. This leads to much quicker report generation, especially for some of our larger customers with thousands of learners in their team.
All our reports now also provide enhanced filtering capabilities that help determine exactly how much progress you, or your team, have achieved, across a program, learning path or course.
For group leaders, this helps answer questions like:
“Who has not yet completed their Secure Development learning path?”
“How much progress, in % format, has my team, or user X, achieved in the Secure Development learning path?”
“Which users have completed the Designing Secure Microservice Architectures course, and which users have made some progress in that course?”
For learners, this helps answer questions like
“What learning paths have I made some progress in?”
“What courses have I made no progress in?”
Further, your currently selected report filters are now applied automatically whenever you download a report as a CSV file.
We hope that our enhanced reporting functionality helps you track your, or your teams progress, much more easily and are always open to feedback.
Incidents and outages - nobody likes them, but they tend to happen every now and then.
We here at SafeStack are not immune to them. So if and when they do happen in the future, we endeavour to provide all our users with accurate and up-to-date information about them, so you know when your favourite secure development training provider is back to normal.
Our new SafeStack Status Page will highlight any current incident or outage causing service degradation on our learning platform. You can access the status page
from within the platform, from the top navigation bar
or simply by visiting https://status.safestack.io/
We’ve made some usability improvements to our “Badges and Certificates” - now known as “Achievements”.
On the Achievements page, you can now see all the Credly badges that you can earn by completing courses from our Secure Development programme.
The badges you have earned will be colorfully highlighted. You can even click into such a badge and view, accept, verify or share it directly from Credly.
