Common Security Concerns

These are the risks remote workers face every day.

Mixing personal and work apps on one device

Personal downloads and work files on the same machine is a breach waiting to happen. Every 15 minutes by default, CoreLock checks the 100 busiest processes and flags known-bad tools and risky command lines, whatever their source.

Home Wi-Fi is less secure than the office

CoreLock lists your apps' open connections by IP address and port, and flags services that accept connections from other devices.

Company data without company IT support

Remote workers often fall outside the corporate security umbrella. CoreLock gives you a plain-English view of what is running on your own device.

Features That Matter to Remote Workers

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

Open Connections and Ports

See your apps' open connections by IP address and port, and which services accept connections from other devices. Shields can turn on the macOS firewall and Stealth mode.

Privacy Permission Audit

See which apps have access to your camera and microphone — critical when you are on video calls from home all day.

Running Apps Check

CoreLock's scan flags known-bad tools and risky command lines among running apps. With Full Disk Access, the Privacy screen also shows which apps hold Screen Recording and Input Monitoring, the permissions that let an app record your screen or keystrokes.

Local-First Scanning

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.

Recommended Plan

Pro ($9.99/mo) removes the AI analysis limit. The free tier (unlimited scans, 3 AI analyses per day) works for occasional check-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CoreLock conflict with my company's VPN?

CoreLock does not install a VPN or firewall rules of its own, so it is not expected to conflict with your company's VPN. Its Shields screen can turn on the macOS firewall, but only if you choose to. Check with your IT team.

Can my employer see my personal data through CoreLock?

CoreLock Pro is a personal security tool and is not connected to your employer. 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.

Is it enough to satisfy corporate security requirements?

Check with your IT team whether CoreLock satisfies your company's endpoint security requirements. It is not a managed endpoint product.

Does CoreLock monitor my activity or screen?

No. CoreLock checks processes and permissions, not your activity. It does not log keystrokes, capture screenshots, or track which websites you visit. It does count when the camera or microphone turns on and can show which app is using them, but it doesn't record or see what was captured. It is a security tool, not surveillance software.
