Product identitySupplied legacy Mac interface; verify the current target platform and release.
DECISION

Use Folder Lock only inside the approved diligence controls

Folder Lock may fit supported-device storage for selected due diligence files and lockers. It does not replace data-room platform permissions, enterprise identity, investor authorization, independent backup, legal retention decisions or tested password recovery.

Founder scenario

Startup Operations pilots Folder Lock with fictional finance documents. The team records version and licensing, tests locker creation, import, lock/unlock, investor-device behavior, backup and recovery limits, then approves only the devices and stages that passed.

PROCEDURE

Run the control in five steps

  1. 01Verify the current version, licensing and supported systems.
  2. 02Create a test locker with fictional finance files.
  3. 03Test authentication, editing residue and closure.
  4. 04Test independent backup and recovery behavior.
  5. 05Document approved uses, exclusions and support ownership.
RECORD

Preserve an accountable decision trail

Keep version, installer source, license, system, locker location, test manifest, access and residue results, backup and recovery test, approved finance-file stages, exclusions and review date.

Stop and investigate when

  • Product artwork is treated as independent assurance.
  • A locker is treated as enterprise identity management.
  • Cloud-related features are described as guaranteed backup.
BOUNDARY

State what the control does not prove

Does not replace provider permissions, guaranteed backup, password recovery or enterprise identity management. Validate investor authorization, provider permissions, plaintext copies, retention and recovery separately.

QUESTIONS

Startup due diligence security questions

Does Folder Lock replace data-room platform access controls?

No. Continue to manage provider roles, investor authorizations and device access separately.

Do supplied images prove current behavior?

No. They are legacy product materials; test the current installed version in the actual startup diligence workflow.
