In today’s increasingly digital world, startups and Vocational Education and Training (VET) institutions face unique challenges in maintaining secure and efficient operations. Recognizing this, the project was developed to help small businesses and educators improve their digital hygiene practices – ensuring that both their data and systems are protected from cyber threats.

As digital tools continue to transform industries across the board, including education and business, the concept of “digital hygiene” has emerged as a foundational principle for safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring smooth operations. This book, Digital Hygiene Handbook for VETs and Startups, provides a comprehensive guide for professionals in both Vocational Education and Training (VET) environments and startups. It focuses on practical strategies to integrate digital hygiene into daily operations, offering solutions to mitigate cybersecurity risks while fostering a culture of safety and innovation.

The journey of creating this book involved a collaboration of experts across the fields of education, technology, and business. Their collective wisdom shaped each chapter, bringing together best practices, lessons learned, and innovative approaches to digital hygiene. Every chapter is designed to provide readers with the tools they need to implement robust digital hygiene practices in their contexts, from foundational knowledge to advanced strategies for long-term sustainability.

The structure of the book reflects this dual focus. The early chapters lay the groundwork for understanding the significance of digital hygiene within VET and startup environments, including discussions on cybersecurity, data management, and ethical digital behavior. Subsequent chapters delve into the development of a customized curriculum for VETs, offering tailored educational approaches and strategies that can be directly implemented within training programs. The final sections of the book explore the application of digital hygiene practices, providing real-world examples and case studies that illustrate how organizations can build and sustain a culture of digital resilience.
