Common Security Concerns

These are the risks legal professionals face every day.

Privileged client communications on device

Emails, documents, and case files containing privileged information sit on your Mac. CoreLock shows which apps have permission to reach your files, camera and microphone.

Opposing counsel and corporate espionage

High-stakes cases make you a target. CoreLock's scan flags known-bad tools and risky command lines among running apps. With Full Disk Access, its Privacy screen also shows which apps hold Screen Recording and Input Monitoring, the permissions that let an app record your screen or keystrokes. It cannot guarantee it will detect targeted spyware.

Documenting your security practices

Professional rules generally expect reasonable measures to protect client data. CoreLock scan results can be one input to documenting your practices; they are not a compliance certification or legal advice.

Working from courts, client offices, hotels

Lawyers work everywhere. CoreLock lists your apps' open connections on any network, and Shields can turn on the macOS firewall and Stealth mode.

Features That Matter to Legal Professionals

CoreLock is not a generic antivirus. These are the capabilities that make a real difference for your work.

Local-First Scanning

Core scanning runs on your Mac and your documents are not uploaded. See the Privacy page for exactly what is sent when AI analysis runs.

Running Apps Check

CoreLock flags known-bad tools and risky command lines among running apps. With Full Disk Access, the Privacy screen also lists which apps hold Screen Recording and Input Monitoring.

Permission Auditing

See which applications have access to your files, camera, and microphone, and spot apps that should not have it.

Scan Results

Your Security Score and Issues list show what each scan found. They may help document your security practices, but they are not a compliance certification.

Recommended Plan

Pro ($9.99/mo) removes the AI analysis limit. The free tier (unlimited scans, 3 AI analyses per day) lets you try it first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CoreLock satisfy my professional obligations?

No software can satisfy professional obligations on its own. CoreLock is a security tool, not a compliance product or legal advice. Check your bar association's guidance and talk to your firm's IT or compliance team.

What does CoreLock send off my Mac?

Scanning runs on your Mac. AI explanations are off by default. If you turn them on, a summary is sent to our servers: your 25 busiest programs (name, ID, CPU and memory), connection counts and disk totals. Never your files. File reputation checks are also off by default. If you turn them on, fingerprints (hashes, not contents) of scanned files are checked against an online malware-hash database.

Can I use scan results for documentation?

Scan results can be one input to documenting your security practices. They are not a compliance certification.

Does it work alongside my firm's existing security tools?

CoreLock is a standalone Mac app and does not install VPN or MDM components. Check with your IT team before running it alongside other security tools.
