1. What do you need a safety test for?
Checklist
- Do the key services (email, social media, bank) have two-step authentication? Recommendation
Two-factor authentication prevents most account break-ins. - Does every service have a different password, for example in a password manager? Recommendation
If you use the same password everywhere, a single leak opens all your accounts. - Do your phone, computer and router update automatically? Recommendation
Updates fix security vulnerabilities. - Is there a backup of photos and important files? Recommendation
A backup protects against ransomware and hardware failures. - Can you spot scam messages? A bank or authority never asks for credentials by message. Recommendation
The National Cyber Security Centre continually warns about text message and phone scams. - Has the router's default password been changed? Recommendation
Default credentials make it easy to gain access to the device.
