We just shipped ten new free tools at https://safecadence.com/tools/ covering personal-security risks that the rest of our catalog wasn't addressing. Together they're what we're calling the Personal Security Pack — built for individuals, families, and small organizations rather than the MSP and enterprise audience our flagship serves.
Each tool is free, requires no sign-up, and runs in your browser where possible. Here is what shipped and who it's for.
The 10 tools
1. National Public Data Breach Awareness
The 2024 NPD leak exposed 2.8 billion records — name, address history, Social Security number, every place you've ever lived. Most Americans are in it. This tool walks you through checking yourself (via Pentester's free search), freezing your credit at all three bureaus in ten minutes, and the IRS / SSA accounts you should claim before someone else does.
2. Reverse Face Search Awareness
In 2026 anyone with one clear photo of your face can find most of your public photos online in seconds — services like PimEyes and FaceCheck.ID take 120 measurements of facial geometry and match against a corpus of public web images. We can't make face recognition go away, but this guide tells you how to check what's out there about you and how to get unwanted images removed.
3. Swatting Defense Checklist
Twelve practical questions covering the realistic defenses available to civilians — registering with your local PD's non-emergency line, removing your home address from voter rolls (most states allow this for at-risk individuals), telling neighbors about your situation, having a written "in case of swatting" instruction sheet for your family. Scores you and gives you the top items to fix.
4. Data Broker Removal Status
30 major data brokers (Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages, MyLife, Intelius, and 25 more), what each one publishes about you, and the exact opt-out URL for each. About two hours of work to remove yourself from all of them. Services like DeleteMe and Pentester automate this for $10-30/month — we give you the list free.
5. Sextortion Response Plan Generator
If you, your child, or someone you know is being sextorted, this generates the right step-by-step plan in 30 seconds. Based directly on FBI and NCMEC published guidance — stop responding immediately, preserve evidence (don't delete), report to the platform AND IC3, NCMEC's Take It Down service for minors, what NOT to do.
6. Smart-Bulb / Smart-Plug Implant Detection
A modified $10 smart bulb from a hacking conference (or a gift) can act as a covert network implant — capturing Wi-Fi handshakes, redirecting DNS, pivoting onto your computers. Twelve-question audit that scores your home or office for this exposure and tells you the fix (almost always: VLAN isolation).
7. Garage-Door / Key-Fob Security Checker
Modern garage-door openers and car key fobs use rolling codes — which sounds safe but is actually capturable and replayable with a $170 gadget. Ten-question physical-security score. The single highest- impact fix is dead-bolting the door from your garage to your house like it's a front door.
8. RF Jammer Detection Awareness
A $200 RF jammer can knock out every Wi-Fi camera, cellular alarm, Bluetooth lock, and cell phone in your home in seconds. This guide covers the symptoms (multiple wireless failures at the same instant, clearing as soon as someone leaves), what jammers cannot defeat (wired cameras, mechanical locks, POTS lines), and the realistic defense plan.
9. Flock Camera Awareness + State Opt-Out
Flock automated license-plate readers cover 5,000+ US cities, operated by police, HOAs, and private property owners. Default retention is 30 days, often longer. This page covers where the cameras are, what your state's ALPR statutes are (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont have the strongest), how to file a public-records request for data captured on your own plate, and your real options.
10. Drone Remote-ID Scanner Explainer
Since March 2024 every consumer drone over 250g must broadcast its position, altitude, serial number, AND the operator's GPS coordinates in the clear. Anyone with a free phone app (DroneScanner) within roughly 1km can read it. If a drone is flying over your property, you can now identify who's flying it. This guide tells you how, and what to do with the information.
Why we built these
Three reasons.
First, these are gaps in our existing catalog. Of our prior 129 free tools, none covered NPD specifically, none covered face-search awareness, none covered swatting defense or sextortion response or smart-bulb implants or any of the others. The rest of our catalog heavily skews toward email/phishing/network security; the personal- security side was a real hole.
Second, the cybersecurity-tools landscape has barely moved on the consumer side. Most "personal cybersecurity" products either repackage free tools at $20/month or sell you something tangential (a VPN you didn't need). The free version of what people actually need to do is not well-documented. We document it.
Third, every one of these tools is something we'd want a non-technical friend or family member to be able to use without us walking them through it. That's the test.
What about paid
We do not charge for any of the 10 new tools, and we will not. The SafeCadence consumer-side toolkit is free under MIT, runs in your browser where possible, doesn't require an account, doesn't run telemetry. That's the same commitment we've held since the platform launched.
If you want the automated, continuous version of some of this for an organization (continuous exec exposure monitoring, vendor breach watching, executive face-rec polling), that's what the SafeCadence Network Risk platform addresses — see the v16 agents launch post and the platform page. The Pack here is the educational and one-shot tier; the platform is the continuous-monitoring tier for the people who need that.
Try them
All ten are linked from the tools archive under the "JUST SHIPPED" banner at the top of the page, or via the direct links above.
If they're useful, share them — that's the entire business model behind the consumer-side toolkit.
