Meet the Founder
I'm Daniel Oakley, a cybersecurity professional with over 20 years of experience in the field. Throughout my career, I've witnessed firsthand how cybersecurity tools and information often remain frustratingly out of reach for everyday people and small businesses.
The Security Checklist was born from this observation. It's my response to the overcomplicated, jargon-filled world of cybersecurity - a platform dedicated to making digital safety accessible, understandable, and actionable for everyone.
The Mission
Here, you'll find straightforward explanations, actionable tips, and resources designed to make digital safety accessible to everyone—whether you're an individual, a business owner, or a parent. I believe that cybersecurity doesn't have to be a daunting, jargon-filled experience; it can be clear, approachable, and effective.
By focusing on what truly matters, The Security Checklist guides you through the challenges of staying safe in an ever-evolving digital landscape. Together, we can make sense of the chaos and ensure that security is a tool for empowerment—not intimidation.
Who This Is For
The advice shared on this site is tailored for individuals and small-to-medium sized businesses that don't have the resources or need for enterprise security solutions. We focus on common-sense, practical measures that can significantly reduce risk without excessive cost or complexity.
