The Norton Protection Score is a personalized metric designed to give you a simple, at-a-glance view of your overall digital safety. It’s a dynamic number that changes based on your security settings, behaviors, and the specific features you have actively enabled from your Norton plan.
Key Details
- Purpose: The score helps you understand your current level of protection, spot potential security gaps, and follow clear recommendations to become safer online.
- Calculation: The score is determined by how effectively you are using the available security tools. Installing the app is just the start; you gain points for actively turning on and using key protections.
- Personalized: The maximum potential score and the specific advice you receive are tailored to the features included in your specific Norton subscription plan (e.g., Norton 360, Norton AntiVirus Plus).
- Dynamic: The score updates in real-time or within a few hours of you taking action, such as enabling a feature or adjusting a setting.
Factors That Affect Your Score
Your score is influenced by various security measures you have in place, which can include:
- Device Protection:
- Ensuring all eligible devices are protected.
- Having up-to-date security software and operating systems installed.
- Using the Smart Firewall.
- Enabling Safe Web browsing protection.
- Personal Data & Identity Protection:
- Using the Password Manager to create and store strong, unique passwords.
- Setting up Dark Web Monitoring for your personal information.
- Using a Secure VPN, especially on public Wi-Fi networks.
- Configuring Cloud Backup for your important files.
- Family Safety (if applicable):
- Using parental control tools to help keep kids safer online.
How to Improve Your Score
The primary way to improve your Protection Score is to follow the personalized recommendations provided within the Norton app or web portal. These suggestions might prompt you to:
- Turn on a specific feature, like Secure VPN or Smart Firewall.
- Add personal information for monitoring.
- Run a software update.
- Set up Cloud Backup.
By addressing these suggested actions, you actively enhance your security posture, which is then reflected in a higher Protection Score.
============================
The Norton Protection Score feature is generally available in most regions where Norton products are sold, including the United States, Canada, throughout Europe, Australia, and many other countries in Asia and Latin America.
The key factor in whether you can access it is the specific Norton plan you have and its compatibility with your registered country or region.
Availability by Platform
You can access your Protection Score via:
Windows PCs: Through the Norton device security application (often under the “Report Card” section).
Mobile Devices: Within the Norton 360 app for both iOS and Android (by pulling up the “Your Protection Report” from the main screen).
Web Browsers: By signing into your account on the my.Norton.com portal and navigating to the “Protection Report” tab.
Regional Limitations
While the core feature is widespread, certain specific features that contribute to the score (like credit monitoring or Dark Web Monitoring for certain types of information) may vary in availability or functionality depending on local laws and regional partnerships.
If you are traveling or have moved, you may need to ensure your Norton account’s registered country/region is correctly updated to ensure all features function as intended.
