What would you like to do?
Your home security score
Answer 10 quick questions about your home. Pick the answer that is closest. You see your score only when you have answered them all.
What are the lights outside your home like at night?
Think about the front, the back and the sides.
Why we ask
Outside lights
Dark corners give someone cover to work on a door or window. Light also helps cameras record a clear picture and helps neighbours notice.

Quick answers
How is my score worked out?
Each of the ten questions is worth a set number of points. Your answer earns some or all of them. Your score is the points you earned out of the points that apply to your home, shown out of 100. If a question does not apply to you, for example you live in a flat with no driveway, it is left out, so you are not marked down for it. The points and the bands are our own simple choices, not an official standard.
Is this a security audit?
No. It is a short guide based on what you tell us. We have not seen your home, tested your alarm or visited your area. A technician can do that properly in a site visit.
What is the difference between monitoring and armed response?
With monitoring, a control room is told when your alarm goes off, and it contacts you. With armed response, officers are sent to your property for you. Many companies offer both. Ask exactly what you would get, and how long it usually takes.
How do I check that a security company is registered?
Ask to see the company's PSIRA registration certificate, and check it on the PSIRA website. You can also ask whether the company is a member of SAIDSA, the industry body for alarm and response companies.
Does the quiz keep my answers?
No. Your answers stay in your browser while you use the page. Nothing is sent unless you press Send on the form. If you do, WP Security gets your details and a short summary of your score.
