The answers to today's Strands, game #219, are LOCK PASSWORD SAFE BACKUP 
FIREWALL ENCRYPTION SPANGRAM: SECURITY My rating: Moderate My score: 2 hints 

The trouble here was that even once I realized the theme was SECURITY, as the 
spangram would have it, I was thinking physical and not digital. That's maybe 
not surprising as my first hint had given me LOCK, and combined with the 
theme clue of 'Protective measures' that got me thinking of ways you 
protective yourself in the world, rather specifically online. And indeed, 
they weren't all online  SAFE was also in there. But thinking of the likes of 
ENCRYPTION and FIREWALL was harder, so I needed another hint to get me to the 
finish line, safe and sound.
