macOS – Mac Starts Up Automatically

macosSecuritystartup

My Mac OS X El Capitan seems to start up on its own, out of the blue. Even though I have powered it off. It starts at random.

I do not have any startup program or anything scheduled for this to happen. Any insights? Is this a security risk or effect?
