It's a free, 15-minute self-audit checklist created by cybersecurity expert Marissa Arbour to help everyday individuals reduce online risks through practical, non-technical steps without requiring security expertise.
Cyber risk affects daily life with statistics showing 1 in 5 Americans has experienced identity theft, victims lose an average of $1,300 per incident, and 74% of breaches involve human behavior rather than system failures.
The checklist includes a personal password and account review, device and update check, phishing awareness self-test, guide to multi-factor authentication setup, and a one-page 'digital reset' routine for monthly use.
Set a timer for 15 minutes, work through each section once without perfection, and pick one habit to improve today, focusing on small, consistent actions rather than trying to fix everything at once.
It addresses waiting until something goes wrong, reusing passwords, ignoring updates, assuming cybersecurity is only for businesses, and trying to fix everything at once instead of starting small.
Marissa Arbour, a Principal Cybersecurity Analyst based in Alpharetta, Georgia, created it using her experience across fintech, banking, healthcare, and education, with a focus on translating complex security concepts into clear, practical guidance.
Arbour believes cybersecurity should be clear, human, and practical—focusing on building confidence rather than fear, changing habits rather than technology, and making security training approachable and practical.
Download and use the checklist once, share it with one other person, then set a monthly reminder to revisit it as part of an ongoing digital safety routine.
