01 Our principles
Three commitments shape every design decision:
- Confidentiality first. Attorney-client privilege isn't a feature flag.
- Least privilege. People and services see only what they need.
- Assume breach. We build so that compromise of one layer doesn't cascade.
02 Encryption
Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256. Enterprise customers can bring their own keys via AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, or GCP KMS with customer-managed rotation.
03 Tenant isolation
Each customer tenant runs in its own logical boundary with per-tenant keys. Queries and prompts never cross tenants. Model inference happens in isolated pods; no cross-tenant caching, no shared embeddings.
04 Certifications and audits
| Framework | Status | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| DPDP Act (India) | Aligned | India data residency by default |
| SOC 2 Type II | Controls aligned; audit in progress | Roadmap on request |
| ISO 27001 | Controls aligned | Roadmap on request |
| GDPR | Aligned (DPA available) | For customers with EU data subjects |
We describe our posture precisely: where an external audit or certification is complete, we say certified; until then, we say aligned. Ask security@lawyerdesk.ai for the current status of any framework.
05 Access controls
SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, role-based access control, IP allow-listing, and mandatory MFA for all LawyerDesk employees. Break-glass access to customer data is audited end-to-end and requires customer approval for enterprise tenants.
06 Testing and disclosure
Third-party penetration tests twice a year. Continuous vulnerability scanning. We welcome responsible disclosure at security@lawyerdesk.ai with a 90-day coordinated-disclosure window.
07 Incident response
Incidents are triaged within one hour, investigated by a dedicated security team, and customers are notified within 72 hours of confirmation in line with GDPR/DPDP. Post-incident reports are delivered to affected customers within 30 days.
