Reference the DoD Identity Awareness, Protection and Management Guide (12th Edition, March 2021).

The Identity Awareness, Protection and Management (IAPM) Guide is a comprehensive resource to help you protect your privacy and secure your identity data online. 

The IAPM Guide consists of chapters detailing key privacy considerations on popular online services, mobile apps and consumer devices available today. Each section provides tools, recommendations and step-by-step guides to implement settings that maximize your security. The guide is updated periodically. 

While some of the chapters in the IAPM Guide deal with technical issues, they do not require a technical background to follow. 

The U.S. Department of Defense created this guide to provide recommendations for readers to keep their identities private and secure online. Please note the information presented here is subject to change.
