Protected from moving a fraud’s edge (11)

I believe the answer is:

safeguarded

'protected' is the definition.
(safeguarding is a kind of protecting)

'moving a fraud's edge' is the wordplay.
'moving' is an anagram indicator (letters are moved around).
'a'+'frauds'+'edge'='afraudsedge'
'afraudsedge' is an anagram of 'SAFEGUARDED'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Another definition for safeguarded that I've seen is " Protected".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
