Lab — Personal Security Self-Audit
Rate your security habits in 10 minutes
Opening
Know Your Security Score
You probably lock your house. But do you lock your phone? This lab helps you see exactly where you stand. No judgment—just honest answers.
1. How This Works
You'll answer 10 quick questions about your real security habits. Each answer gives you points. At the end, you'll see your score and what to fix first.
2. The 10 Areas We'll Check
Be honest. These are just for you:
Passwords
Do you use the same password everywhere, or different ones?
Device lock
Is your phone or laptop locked when you're not using it?
App permissions
Do you check what apps can access (camera, location, contacts)?
WiFi habits
Do you use public WiFi without thinking? Or use VPN?
Suspicious messages
How do you react when a text asks for money or clicks?
Backup
Do you back up your photos and files anywhere?
Updates
Do you install phone and app updates quickly?
Two-factor auth
Do you use 2FA on important accounts like email or bank?
Phishing
Can you spot a fake email or fake app store link?
Privacy settings
Have you ever changed privacy settings on social media?
Real Example: Why This Matters
A friend gets a text: 'Confirm your bKash account. Click here.' It looks real. But she pauses—bKash never texts links. She deletes it. That pause? That's security thinking. This lab teaches you to pause too.
3. What Your Score Means
After the quiz:
80–100 points
You're doing great. Keep it up. Maybe try 2FA if you haven't.
50–79 points
You're on the right track. Pick one habit to improve this week (like unique passwords).
Below 50
No shame. This is why you're here. Start with passwords and device locks. Small changes work.
Honest Answers Help You Most
Don't answer what you think is 'right.' Answer what's true. If you use the same password everywhere, say yes. That's the whole point—knowing where to improve.
