Claude Code has shell access. It reads and writes files on your system. This access is a risk for sensitive data.
Use a VM and BitLocker to stay safe.
Setup steps:
- Use a BitLocker encrypted SSD.
- Run a VM with internet access.
- Block the VM from your work network.
- Remove VPNs and network shares.
Use an airlock drive for files:
- Create a virtual drive.
- Mount it to your PC.
- Copy your files.
- Unmount it from your PC.
- Mount it to the VM.
The VM stops Claude Code from:
- Scanning your host files.
- Accessing work networks.
- Leaking sensitive data.
You lose some convenience:
- File transfers take more steps.
- VMs use more system resources.
- No copy-paste between host and VM.
This setup is a must for finance and healthcare. It is engineering discipline.
