Router-only rule assumed to cover mobile data

Detection

The protection plan names only the home router and has no device or mobile-provider layer.

Fix (technical)

Saferinternet.at identifies separate control layers including mobile/internet providers, operating systems and applications. Do not claim router coverage outside its documented scope; verify the actual provider/device configuration with the vendor. [saferinternet-at-technical-controls]

Fix (relational)

Explain that a rule about safe use applies in and outside the house, even where a network setting does not.

Residual risk

This collection did not inspect a current router/provider product test for mobile-data behaviour.
