# Privacy and Security Checklist

To help make transparency, privacy, and compliance simpler for our customers, you can use a privacy and security checklist, along with the [Privacy and Security disclosure](https://help.verkada.com/command/data-protection-and-security/privacy-and-security-disclosure). Using this feature, you can communicate which products and features are being used in their organization.

## Access the Privacy and Security checklist

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### In Verkada Command, go to **All Products** > **Admin**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Under **Org Settings,** select **Security & Access**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select **Security Checklist**.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

On the **Privacy & Security Checklist** page, you can access the list of actions (see table below) to take to ensure Verkada Command is configured at the highest level of security. Some of the items are automatically selected as complete once the task is complete.

## Dismiss an action from the checklist

If a specific action does not pertain to your organization, you can dismiss it from the list.

Next to the action item, click the checkmark and select **Complete** or **Dismiss**. If it has a dropdown arrow next to the item name, it does not count toward your completion percentage.
