About the project
Making technology feel more manageable.
Tech Readiness Checkup is an independently developed educational project intended to help people understand common digital-security habits in plain language.
The creator has a CompTIA A+ certification, an associate degree in IT and cybersecurity, and is pursuing a bachelor's degree in information technology. The product draws on publicly available guidance from trusted organizations.
- Plain-language explanations over unnecessary jargon
- Clear boundaries around what a self-checkup can prove
- Support focused on practical, everyday technology
Our approach
Understand it.
Prioritize it.
Improve it.
Prioritize it.
Improve it.
Technology should be something you can learn to manage—not something that makes you feel left behind.
No scare tactics. No false guarantees.
Recommendations are educational and designed to support informed choices. Paid assistance, if introduced, will be limited to clearly scoped work.
Privacy & frequently asked questions
Clarity about what happens here.
You should understand how the tool works and what it does with your information before using it.
Are my answers uploaded or saved?
No. The checkup processes answers in your browser only. The site doesn't submit your answers, create an account, or run analytics scripts. The hosting provider may process basic network logs when you visit the website.
Does this checkup scan my device?
No. It uses your self-reported answers to recommend basic safeguards. It does not inspect your device, verify settings, or identify vulnerabilities.
Can I download my report?
Yes. Choose “Download .txt” for a text file, “Copy action plan” for clipboard text, or “Print / Save as PDF” using your browser's print dialog.
Are IT support sessions available now?
Not yet. Service examples and prices are proposed pilot concepts only. There is no scheduling system, contact inbox, remote-access connection, or payment processing on this website.
What if I'm unsure of an answer?
Select “Not sure.” The checkup will list that safeguard for review. You can also generate a report with unanswered questions, which will be flagged for follow-up.
Where can I learn more?
See the FTC small-business cybersecurity resources, NIST cybersecurity basics, and CISA resources.
