[vocab] safeguard vs guard

Dear Users,

Forgive me please for having the following sentences capitalized, but I simply copied them off a website.

AS STEWARD OF GLOBAL WEB STANDARDS, W3C'S MISSION IS TO SAFEGUARD THE OPENNESS, ACCESSIBILITY, AND FREEDOM OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB FROM A TECHNICAL PERSPECTIVE.

I was wondering... is there a difference between to safeguard and to guard?

Thanks
