Get Safe Online (GSOL) is a uniquely British institution; under-funded, under-resourced but fighting on against the odds to raise public awareness of Internet security.

Though established in its present format as recently as 2005, the organisation has launched an impressive array of online resources designed to reduce the likelihood of private and business users experiencing security problems while on the Internet.

Typical of these is the personal security checklist on its web site; offering the kind of advice which old IT hands might argue should be obvious to anyone, but which have been set out in one place to promote good user practices.
