What Is My Security Score? asks users a series of questions – ranging from where they live, to how they store valuables, to what they post on social media – to determine their security score. For example, if a person lives in a low-crime area but has poor password sharing habits, their security score will decrease by a predetermined amount. After learning their score, visitors can simulate how their security score can improve based on a set of personalized recommendations.
Security.org has created a new tool, What is My Security Score? to help users figure out their Security Score. A security score is an indicator of how safe a person is both physically and online. Just like knowing your Credit Score is key to financial health, your Security Score is key to knowing how safe you are.
Curious about your security score? Use the link here to access the website and find out how safe you are. According to Security.org, the typical American household has a 1-in-5 chance of being a victim of a property crime.
