A plain-language playbook for using Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools securely — built for individuals, small teams, and people who handle sensitive or regulated information.
Start with the CYA guide — it's the flagship and the fastest way to lower your risk. From there, the Beginner guide keeps it jargon-free for everyday users, and the Technical guide goes deep for builders and operators. All three are live.
The flagship guide. Cover yourself: what to never paste, how to keep a defensible record, and what to do if something slips.
A no-jargon starter for friends, family, and first-time users — accounts, privacy settings, scams, and trusting AI answers.
For builders: API key hygiene, prompt-injection defenses, logging, retention controls, and secure deployment patterns.
Jump straight to the parts of the CYA guide people reach for most.
An AI prompt can travel further than you expect. Once sensitive text leaves your keyboard, you can rarely pull it back. When in doubt, leave it out — and read the CYA guide first.
