Documentation on Tech Lockdown's Data & Software Security
under review

I really appreciate the robust distraction blocking capabilities that Tech Lockdown provides, but at the same time, given that all my data is now being channeled through your online services in addition to device management configuration files, it'd be nice to know more about what the Tech Lockdown team is doing to secure our data and prevent hacking, data leaks, or other potential vulnerabilities that may come with such all-encompassing controls.
Public documentation providing details on:
- Security of app(s), certificates, and configuration files
- I noticed the preset configuration files for Apple devices were unsigned, which may just be due to costs that come with going through official App Store or the small dev team behind Tech Lockdown, which is understandable, but it would be more reassuring if they could eventually be signed
- data encryption of data being transferred through and stored in the Cloudswarm server / app
- 3rd party penetration testing or other audits
I understand that the Tech Lockdown team & budget might not be able to support best practices around all of this yet, but it'd be nice if it was on the roadmap and there was transparency around current practices and future plans on all of this.

Here are some ideas that I have,
I have also submitted a feature request that would allow users to add one or two additional security keys that are required to unlock their profile after logging into their account.
Ideally:
The security keys used to unlock the profile would be different from the key used to log in.
Users should have the option to use separate keys for account login and profile unlock, or use the same key for both, if preferred.
Add an option to lock both your account and profile using one or two physical security keys for stronger protection.
How It Works:
Account Lock:
Use a physical security key to log into your account.
Profile Lock:
Optionally use a second physical security key to lock your profile once logged in, preventing any changes without that key.
Flexibility:
You can use just one key (for login or profile) or both.
Each key can be stored in different safe places — even in another state — for extra security.
Why It’s Useful:
Adds a powerful extra layer of security.
Lets users choose how much protection they want.
Ideal for people who want a full “tech lockdown” mode with physical key access control.
