Your plan most important and quickest first

    Written for people in the United States; most steps help anywhere. Repeat the audit every six months, and after moving house, changing jobs or a data breach.

    Questions

    Why start with email and phone?

    Almost every account can be reset through your email or a text message. Whoever controls those controls the rest, which is why attackers target them first, for example by persuading a mobile carrier to move your number to their SIM card.

    What are people-search sites?

    Data brokers such as Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, Radaris and many more gather public records, purchase histories and social media into profiles with your address, phone numbers, relatives and age, and sell them to anyone. Most have an opt-out form; search “[site name] opt out”. Listings often return, so check again every few months. Paid removal services can do the repetitive work for you.

    Are my answers stored or sent anywhere?

    Nothing is sent anywhere. Your answers are saved only in this browser so you can come back later, and “Clear my answers” removes them. The page asks for no personal details at all.

    How is the score worked out?

    Each question has a weight from 1 to 3 for how much harm the gap can cause. “No” and “Not sure” count fully, “Partly” counts half, and “Does not apply” is left out. Each area's percentage is how much of its possible exposure is still open. It is a guide for priorities, not a measure of how likely you are to be targeted.
