Annual Cybersecurity Tune-Up Workbook — One Yearly Review for Your Whole Digital Life | PDF
How long has it been since you…
- …checked the two-factor (2FA) you set up years ago?
- …wiped the old phones and laptops sitting in a drawer?
- …removed apps that still connect to your Google or Apple account?
- …pulled your credit reports?
- …checked whether an ex or old roommate still has camera or WiFi access?
- …reviewed any of it?
Security rarely breaks all at once. It drifts. Passwords get reused, devices stop getting updates, old accounts pile up, connected apps and permissions creep, and access lingers long after people move on. Nothing forces a review, so most of us never do one.
This workbook is that review: once a year, top to bottom.
It's a 3-page printable workbook designed to be done in a single sitting each year:
- 📅 Annual Check-In: this year's date, last year's date, any incidents
- 🔑 Password & 2FA Refresh: password manager audit, 2FA and backup codes, a breach check on your email
- 📱 Devices: updates, wiping old devices, Find My, backup test
- 🔗 Accounts & Access: connected apps, active sessions, old accounts, recovery info, email forwarding rules
- 💳 Money & Credit: subscription audit, credit reports, freezes, bank alerts, recurring charges
- 📡 Home & Network: router firmware, WiFi password, smart devices, camera access, guest network
- 🕵️ Identity & Privacy: data-broker opt-outs, social media settings, oversharing, family code word, digital estate plan
- 📈 Compared to Last Year: what improved, what slipped, your top 3 priorities
- 📊 Overall Scorecard: rate four key areas from 1 to 5
