Legal AI Security Built So Client Files Stay Client Files
Legal AI security means encrypted connections, strict per-firm data isolation, and a hard guarantee that client data never trains AI models. This page documents how CaseAgent is built to that bar, stated as design commitments, because we 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.
Data handling
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
A private link per person
Every person on the firm opens the workspace with their own private link or a code sent to their own inbox. Switching a seat off stops that link at once, without touching anybody else's.
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 and reserved for support you request or incidents that require it.
The AI stance
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.

Workspace controls, plan by plan
What the workspace enforces today, what each control covers and which plan includes it. Nothing on this list is a roadmap item.
| Control | What it covers | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Role-based permissions | Owner, admin and member. The owner runs billing and the plan, admins run the seats, members work the matters. Checked by the server on every action, not by hiding buttons. | Practice and Enterprise |
| Seats with private links | Each person gets their own private link and can also sign in with a code sent to their own inbox. A seat switched off stops working at once; the matters and their history stay with the firm. | Firm, Practice and Enterprise |
| Audit log | Who opened a matter, added, viewed or removed a document, ran the agent, downloaded or reviewed work product, changed a deadline, a seat or the plan, when (UTC) and from which IP address. Entries are never edited; the owner and admins filter them by person and action and export them as CSV. | Enterprise |
| SAML single sign-on | People sign in through the firm's identity provider (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace or any SAML 2.0 provider). Each response is checked against the firm's signing certificate, audience and time window, and works once. Only addresses that hold a seat get in. The firm can require SSO for every seat; the owner keeps the emailed code as the way back in. | Enterprise |
| DPA and SLA | The data processing agreement is signed by the owner or an admin in the workspace, and the signed record stays there. The service level agreement sets 99.9% monthly uptime with service credits. | Enterprise |
| Invoices and billing | Every payment has a PDF invoice and receipt in the billing portal, which only the firm owner can open. The same page changes the card and cancels the plan. On Enterprise the owner adds the company name, address, tax ID and PO number, and every next invoice carries them. | Every plan |
Evaluating CaseAgent for a large firm? Enterprise adds up to 45 users, SAML single sign-on, the audit log, the signed DPA and the uptime SLA for $1,798 a month, or $899 a month billed yearly, and you can start Enterprise on the same order form as every plan. Tier details are on the pricing page.
Honesty clause
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.
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.
Responsible disclosure
Found a vulnerability? Tell us.
We take reports from security researchers seriously and respond to every good-faith submission.
