SecShield security overview
How SecShield protects a connection while you are connected, using published policy statements and the controls that ship with the product.
Model
Security model
SecShield is a VPN connection product. While connected, traffic between your device and the VPN path travels inside a protected tunnel. Destination services still see the VPN exit IP.

VPN path
Traffic rides the encrypted tunnel while connected.

Internet
Requests exit to destinations from the VPN exit IP.

Lifecycle
Updates and security lifecycle
SecShield apps receive security and product updates through their platform distribution channels. Keep the app current on each device you use.
Reporting
Vulnerability reporting
Report security concerns to intel@securitycheckli.st or use the contact route and mark the message clearly as a vulnerability report.
Limits
Security limitations
Not anonymity
Logged-in services can still identify you.
Not endpoint security
SecShield does not replace antivirus or device hardening.
Depends on a healthy connection
If the app is disconnected, the VPN path is not protecting traffic.
Logging policy
SecShield does not keep connection activity logs that identify what you browse. Diagnostic data is limited to what is needed to keep the service reliable.
