Google’s Security Checkup

Although account security features are not always developed with abusive behaviors in mind, the security guides developed by platforms can be a helpful place to start in heightening account security for survivors. Google’s Security Checkup will automatically check sensitive settings and account security settings, making suggestions to make it harder for an abusive person to access an account.

For advocates, walking through these guides with survivors can be a simple, effective way to help enhance security. Also consider guidance tailored for survivors such as CETA’s safety guides, dedicated chatbots, or contacting NRCC for technical assistance.
