Legal AI Security: Built So Client Files Stay Client Files
Legal AI security means encryption in transit and at rest, strict per-firm data isolation, and a hard guarantee that client data never trains AI models. This page documents how Caseagent is being built to that bar, stated as design commitments, because we are pre-launch and will not claim certifications we do not hold. If you are still comparing platforms, these are the controls to demand of any legal practice management software that touches privileged files.
How client data is protected
Case files are privileged material. Caseagent is built so protection is the default, not a tier upgrade, on every plan from Solo up.
A-1
Encrypted in transit
All traffic between your browser and Caseagent is encrypted with TLS. There is no unencrypted path into or out of the system.
A-2
Encrypted at rest
Documents, chronologies, drafts, and deadline data are stored encrypted at rest, including backups.
A-3
Isolated per firm
Each firm's matters live in their own isolated space. Caseagent is built so one firm's data can never leak into another firm's context, results, or drafts.
A-4
Least-privilege access
Our staff do not browse client files. Operational access is limited, logged, and reserved for support you request or incidents that require it.
Your files are never training data
The question every firm asks first, answered without hedging. This is the same stance stated on our confidentiality FAQ.
Controls planned for the Enterprise tier
Everything a procurement or legal ops review will ask for is planned into the Enterprise tier from day one. Statuses below are honest: these ship with Enterprise onboarding, and we will not sell them as live before they are.
| Control | What it covers | Status |
|---|---|---|
| SSO / SAML | Sign-in through your identity provider (Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace); no separate passwords to manage. | Planned for Enterprise at launch |
| Role-based permissions | Attorney, paralegal, staff, and admin roles; matter-level access control for walled-off engagements. | Planned for Enterprise at launch |
| Audit logs | Who viewed, edited, exported, or approved what, and when: an exportable record for your own compliance reviews. | Planned for Enterprise at launch |
| SLA | Contractual uptime and support-response commitments with defined remedies. | Planned for Enterprise agreements |
| DPA | A data processing agreement covering processing scope, subprocessors, and the no-training commitment in contract form. | Planned for Enterprise agreements |
| Security review | We complete your firm's vendor security questionnaire and walk your IT team through the architecture, including how legal document management permissions and retention are handled. | Available now, by email |

What we claim, and what we don't
Security pages are where startups exaggerate. Ours works the other way: if it is not true yet, it is listed as a commitment or a roadmap item, never as a badge.
We do not claim certifications we do not hold. Caseagent is not yet SOC 2 audited and makes no compliance certification claims today. SOC 2 readiness is on the roadmap, and the controls on this page are being built with that audit in mind.
Design commitments are still commitments. Everything phrased as "Caseagent is built so that" on this page is an engineering constraint we hold ourselves to now, in early access, and will stand behind contractually in the Enterprise DPA.
The disclaimer applies here too. Caseagent is a tool for lawyers, not legal advice. Security controls protect your data; a licensed attorney still reviews every output before it matters.
Found a vulnerability? Tell us.
We take reports from security researchers seriously and respond to every good-faith submission.
Bring your security questionnaire. We'll answer it.
