Your Home Digital Security Assessment
Think of it as a digital home inspection. RefugeWise reviews the technology your family depends on, identifies potential vulnerabilities and unnecessary exposure, and helps you prioritize practical improvements based on your household—not a generic checklist.
The goal isn't to make your home perfectly secure. It's to identify the risks that matter, fix what we can, and make your family more difficult to target.
A different kind of tech help
Your family shouldn’t need an IT department to feel secure at home.

✓Clear, understandable guidance built around your household.
✓Hands-on help configuring the technology you already own.
✓Vendor-neutral recommendations based on what actually fits.
✓Education that helps the whole family make safer choices.
Meet the Founder
Matt Harvey
Founder, RefugeWise
After more than 20 years serving in the U.S. Army, including a career as a Counterintelligence Special Agent and Warrant Officer, Matt founded RefugeWise with a simple goal: help families feel safer and more confident with the technology in their homes.
His career focused on protecting people, information, and organizations from security threats. As a husband and father, he saw many of those same security principles becoming increasingly important at home—from protecting personal accounts and home Wi-Fi to helping parents navigate smartphones, gaming, social media, scams, and online threats targeting children.
RefugeWise brings that experience to families in a practical, approachable way. No scare tactics. No unnecessary tech jargon. Just straightforward guidance to help families make smarter decisions and better protect what matters most.
