This module covers the design of guardrail strategies and systems. You will learn the guardrail taxonomy, then work through the design of input, output, and system-level guardrails. You will also learn specialized guardrail design for RAG pipelines and agentic systems.

This is the largest domain in the certification because architecture is where guardrail decisions have the most impact. A well-architected guardrail system is layered, placement-aware, and tailored to the specific threats and use case. A poorly architected one creates false confidence while leaving real attack surfaces unguarded.
