WFH / Remote Worker Security Kit

Your company gave you a laptop and 30 minutes of IT onboarding. Now you work from home, coffee shops, and Airbnbs — and nobody's told you how to actually protect their data (or yours). This kit fills that gap. Updated for 2026 — covers AI tool risks, post-quantum VPNs, and co-working space security.

Page 1 — Home Office Security Audit Physical workspace (shoulder surfing, webcam, smart speakers). Device security (encryption, EDR, find-my, USB warnings). Home network basics (router, WPA3, guest network). 17 specific checks, takes about an hour the first time.

Page 2 — VPN Selection Guide + AI Tool Risk Policy ⭐ The 5 audited no-logs VPN providers compared (NordVPN, Proton, Mullvad, Surfshark, ExpressVPN) with 2026 differentiators including post-quantum encryption status. Ownership transparency note most guides skip (Nord Security owns NordVPN + Surfshark; Kape owns ExpressVPN + CyberGhost + PIA). Plus the AI Tool Risk Policy — 6 personal rules + the one-question framework that catches the #1 emerging 2026 WFH security risk.

Page 3 — BYOD / Personal Device Mini-Policy Where work data is allowed to live and what protects it. Device inventory grid (6 device types). 8-point BYOD framework. Signature block at the bottom — sign it as your own policy and show it to clients who ask "how do you protect my data?"

Page 4 — Monthly Self-Audit + Travel & Co-working Security 10-item monthly audit grid with 4 months of checkboxes on one printed page. Travel and co-working checklist (coffee shops, hotels, airports, conference Wi-Fi) including the China/UAE/Russia travel warning and the USB juice-jacking reminder.
