Security & Compliance

Security that meets the attorney-client privilege standard.

Built on enterprise infrastructure with law firm confidentiality requirements at the core.

Our commitment

“Good enough” security isn’t good enough.

In legal practice, “good enough” security isn’t good enough. Sovereign Legal was architected with the same security standards used for classified government systems—because attorney-client privilege demands nothing less.

Zero-retention AI processing

Dedicated firm storage vaults

Audit-ready access controls

Infrastructure security

AWS Bedrock Foundation

Sovereign Legal runs entirely on AWS Bedrock, Amazon’s enterprise AI platform used by Fortune 500 companies and government agencies.

No training on your data • SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure • 99.9% uptime SLA • DDoS protection

Your data never leaves AWS’s secure environment.

Multi-Tenant Isolation

Each law firm gets dedicated AWS S3 storage buckets. Your documents are not stored in a shared database—they live in your firm’s isolated vault.

True data separation • Easier regulatory compliance • Export control without vendor lock-in

Visual metaphor

Each firm owns its own safe deposit box, not a drawer in a shared filing cabinet.

Encryption

Protected at rest, in transit, and during processing.

At rest: all documents encrypted using AES-256 bank-grade standards. In transit: TLS 1.3 encryption for all data transfers. At processing: end-to-end encryption during AI analysis, with documents decrypted only in secure memory and never written to disk unencrypted.

Access control

Roles, sessions, and controls built for firms.

Firm Administrators manage users, admin console, and billing. Standard Users query documents and run comparisons. Audit-Only Users view logs without document access. Session controls include automatic logout, optional IP restrictions, and multi-factor authentication coming Q3 2026.

PII sanitization

Automatic redaction before vector storage.

Before documents enter the vector database, Sovereign Legal can detect and sanitize Social Security Numbers, credit cards, bank accounts, email addresses, and phone numbers. Turn it on for sensitive matters, leave it off for standard contracts.

Privilege protection

Controls aligned to privileged legal work.

Your queries and documents are never used to train AI models. Matter-based filtering keeps Matter A physically separated from Matter B. Every access is logged for privilege logs, security audits, and malpractice defense.

Compliance readiness, without hand-waving.

Data Retention & Deletion

Your data, your control

Soft delete archives matters, hard delete permanently purges documents and vectors, and export before deletion gives your firm a full S3 download.

Transparency

Admins can see aggregate usage and error logs. We cannot see document contents, query text, results, client names, or matter names without explicit permission.
