Accidental outlaw

Are you at risk of becoming an ‘Accidental Outlaw’?

Our free online test checks your understanding of how the law applies online. It also gives helpful advice on how to stay out of trouble.

ThreatTest

As online scams become more sophisticated and more people fall victim to them, it’s important we all understand the steps we should take to protect ourselves.

There’s a wealth of helpful advice already on knowthenet, and we’ve also worked with security experts to develop this new ThreatTest.

The ThreatTest presents you with examples of real-life scams - but in a safe environment - so you can check out whether or not you’d fall for particular schemes. It has four sections, takes just a few minutes to complete and will give you advice and guidance after each stage. When you’re done, we’ll assess your overall threat level based on your answers.

NetCheck

This is a free tool from knowthenet.org.uk that assesses how well you’re using the Internet compared to the competition (companies of a similar size and sector).

NetCheck is divided into three short sections: listening to customers, growing your business and cutting costs.

After each question simply select the statement that best describes your business. At the end, we’ll show how your answers compare with other businesses that have taken the NetCheck and share some expert tips on other smart things you could be doing.
