This new report contains 3 types of graphs, each designed to highlight key pieces of information that help you better understand the effectiveness of your learning paths and security training.
This graph highlights the engagement of your learning path at the course level. It can help answer questions like:
What courses are being fully completed by my learners?
What courses are being started but not completed by my learners?
What courses are not being started at all by my learners?
What courses are most engaging, and which ones are my learners not too interested in?
This pie chart compares the percentage of your learners that have not yet started, started and completed your learning path as a whole. This can help group leaders visualize learning path engagement easily. Over time, one would want the red slice to reduce in size and the green slice to increase in size.
This graph plots the cumulative percentage of users that have completed the learning path, over time. This is really useful to understand how quickly your team is ramping up with their training and how much training there is still left to be done, before you hit the learning path due date (if there is one).
The graph toolbar (top right of every graph) can be used to download the graph in the PNG or SVG format. You can also download the raw data behind the graph, by downloading using the CSV format option.
For time series graphs (like the Learning Path completion over time graph), you can also zoom in/out or drag and select a specific time range you want to explore within the whole period.
We’ve made minor changes to the Reports page to separate individual reports from group reports much more clearly.
In the future, we plan to add more functionality to these reports to take them a step further, making it easy for group leaders to communicate with their learners about their training. But we will have more on that later!
We hope you enjoy the new changes in SafeStack and are always open to feedback, suggestions or concerns.

]]>More than 30 seminars have occurred since SafeStack was launched, covering a wide range of topics, including threat modeling, AI, DevOps, SAST and so on. Every topic is sourced from our community and customer suggestions, so they are guaranteed to be timely, relevant, and focused on current and emerging secure development best practices.
A feature requested by many customers is the ability to add seminars into learning paths, allowing security champions to craft outcome focused training programs, along with high quality, interactive, bite-sized training for specific topics covered in our seminars.
From today, all our past seminars are available as courses on the platform! They can be added to learning paths, just like any other course. Further, reports will indicate whether a learner has completed watching a seminar or not, from this point onwards, providing much more visibility about seminar related training to group leaders.
We will continue to host live seminars based on customer suggestions and our roadmap. You will still be able to register for live seminar sessions from the platform. Once a live seminar has finished, it will be available as a course on the platform, so that your team can watch it at a later date.
Our support team is available via email at [email protected] to answer any questions you may have about this change.

]]>Resetting progress can be done across your entire organization from the Organization page, or for the learners and courses within a specific Learning Path from the Learning Paths page.
Some key points to note:
Learners will retain any badges and achievements they’ve previously earned.
Historical data will not be available from the Reports section. We recommend downloading and archiving any reports per your organization's compliance and data retention policies before resetting progress data.

Now, you can easily create a Learning Path for all supported compliance frameworks - just click the “Create Learning Path” button on a compliance framework! This will automatically create a new learning path with all the relevant courses, then redirect you to the new learning path, so that you can set a due date, description and enrol your learners into the new learning path.
Using learning paths as a way to achieve compliance training needs has tremendous benefits like:
learners automatically receive an email about their enrolment into the new learning path
learners also receive an email reminder to complete the learning path, in case they haven’t completed it, around 5 days before the due date
group leaders can easily track compliance training progress for every compliance framework, right from the dashboard or via the “Group Progress by Learning Path” report

A safety net is also in place to ensure you don’t accidentally delete the wrong user without double-checking. As noted in the confirmation dialog, you can manually download a copy of a user’s progress report before deletion, as all of their data will be lost once deleted.

]]>Compliance training is spread across both our Secure Development program as well as the Security Awareness program. Some of our more recent customers were not able to view or buy the Security Awareness program, while we worked on making some strategic changes to the program.
We are now happy to announce that:
all Secure Development customers, who didn’t have access to the Security Awareness program, now have access to a limited set of free courses from this program
all Secure Development customers can now buy the Security Awareness program as an add-on
your learners will not see any Security Awareness content, until one of your Group Leaders assigns them to the program
we have redesigned our subscription page to better highlight what plan you are on and what add-ons are available for your organization in SafeStack
the subscription page itself has been moved from “Settings → Subscription” to “Subscription” in the sidebar
—
Head over to our course catalog and check out the Security Awareness courses available, for free, for your organization!
Or check out the new subscription page, from where you can buy or manage your subscription for any of our programs or add-ons.
PS: You can read more about how we can help you meet your compliance needs here.

]]>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.
