Online Safety Tune-Up at Home
A planned visit to make your devices and accounts safer before anything goes wrong. Think of it as a check-up for your passwords, accounts, and devices.
About This Service
It is much easier to lock things down now than to recover after something goes wrong
This is not an emergency visit. This is a planned, proactive check-up.
The Online Safety Tune-Up is for people who want to get ahead of problems before they happen. Maybe you know your passwords are not great. Maybe you have heard about two-step login but have not set it up. Maybe you just want someone to look everything over and tell you where you stand.
We visit your home in Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, or Oshawa and spend time reviewing your key accounts, devices, and habits. We make practical, straightforward changes that make you much harder to target.
If you have already been through a scam, the Tune-Up is also a great follow-up visit to make sure everything stays secure going forward.
Is This For You?

Weak Passwords

No Two-Step Login
You have heard about two-step login but have not set it up anywhere.
-
Outdated Software
You are not sure if your phone or computer is running the latest software.

Spam Overload

Peace of Mind

What We Cover
A thorough review, not a quick scan
Our Approach
Practical safety, not paranoia
We are not going to make you feel like the internet is dangerous and you should be afraid. With a few sensible precautions, you can use the internet without worrying.
Our goal is to make simple changes that have a big impact. Most of the improvements we make during a Tune-Up take minutes but protect you for years.
You do not need to understand how everything works behind the scenes. You just need to know that your accounts are safer when we leave than when we arrived.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from Scam Recovery?
Scam Recovery is for after something has gone wrong. The Tune-Up is for before. Think of Scam Recovery as the emergency room and the Tune-Up as your annual check-up. Both are important, but the Tune-Up helps you avoid the emergency in the first place.
- What is a password manager and do I really need one?
A password manager is an app that remembers all your passwords for you, securely. Instead of using the same password everywhere, you have one strong password that unlocks all the others. We set it up and show you how to use it.
- What is two-step login?
Two-step login means that even if someone gets your password, they still cannot log in without a second step, usually a code sent to your phone. It is one of the most effective ways to protect your accounts and we set it up on all your important accounts during the visit.
- How often should I do this?
Once a year is a good habit. Technology changes, new threats emerge, and accounts pile up. An annual Tune-Up keeps everything current and gives you peace of mind.
