Device security for independent professionals
Your device.
Your terms.
Build your client list without building a collection of laptops.
Lockmore by AskDegree helps you establish a device security baseline clients can evaluate, so you have another option when they ask to install their tools or issue you a laptop.
01 One client’s restrictions can limit your growth
Two difficult choices.
A third worth exploring.
Every client brings its own security requirements. Two ways of meeting them come up again and again — and both have a cost that grows with your client list.
Their tools on your laptop? Depending on what they collect, that can expose other clients’ information and create confidentiality conflicts.
Another company laptop? More switching, less desk space, and more equipment to carry as your practice grows.
A third path: your own protected device, with a documented baseline the client can review.
02 The device layer. Clearly defined.
Protect it. Maintain it.
Show you’re prepared.
Endpoint protection, device health checks, security logging, and patch management configured around an agreed baseline, with dated evidence of its status. Define what telemetry is collected, who can see it, and what evidence can be shared without exposing unrelated client information.
AskDegree knows security requirements. Over the past 10 years, we have completed hundreds of vendor diligence reviews while managing TPRM programs for premium companies. Our work spans from Y Combinator startups, U.S. government SaaS providers, and nationwide health insurance providers to the nation’s second largest neobank, OnePay. Lockmore brings real world experience to the device and data safeguards your clients expect.
03 Two paths. The same device security goal.
Choose how
you want to get there.
04 Before you decide
Clear expectations.
No guesswork.
Will this eliminate laptops issued by clients?
It gives clients a documented alternative to evaluate. Some contracts or access models will still require equipment managed by the client. Engagements involving government requirements may need a separate assessment.
Does AskDegree manage my whole security program?
No. Subscriptions cover only the device services in your plan. Tailored projects provide setup, documentation, and handoff for you to manage. Your wider security program and client obligations remain yours.
Does this make my device SOC 2 certified?
No. Selected mappings to relevant SOC 2 criteria help explain the baseline. They do not confer audit or certification status on your device or practice.
