About · Human-Friendly Security
Security that makes sense — built by Joshua Rodriguez
EndpointGuard helps everyday users, remote workers, gamers/creators, and small businesses secure Windows 11 and reduce risk without the overwhelm. My approach is simple: tighten the settings that matter, verify them, and explain everything clearly.
Real security is a system: endpoint protections + safer browsing + privacy basics + good habits. I help you put it together.
What I’m Best At
These are the main areas I focus on when working with clients and securing my own systems.
Privacy
Tracking Reduction
Reducing unnecessary data collection while keeping your apps working normally.
Browser
Safe Browsing
Safer defaults, secure DNS guidance, and extension cleanup to reduce common risks.
Network
Home Network Security
Improving router/Wi-Fi basics, guest network guidance, and IoT isolation recommendations.
Proof: What My Reports Look Like
I document work in a way that’s easy to understand: what the risk was, what changed, what to verify, and what to do next. Here are sample report-style writeups (no client names, no sensitive data).
