Our focus is clear: implementing and continuously updating best-in-class security policies, procedures, and technologies. We attribute our success in passing the rigorous security and privacy reviews of high courts, prestigious law firms, and government agencies to this unwavering commitment. This section provides an overview of how we manage and uphold trust in our products, ensuring the highest standards of security for our clients.

We employ best practices and adhere to industry standards in security and privacy, ensuring compliance with recognized general frameworks. This approach supports our clients and customers in meeting their own compliance standards.

Cloud Security

Facilities

We host our Services Data in AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure data centers that have been certified as ISO 27001, PCI DSS Service Provider Level 1, and/or SOC 2 compliant. Learn more about compliance in our data centers.

Physical Security

AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure each implement comprehensive and multi-layered physical security measures at their data centers, which include features such as secure perimeter defenses, camera coverage, biometric authentication, and 24/7 guard staff. Learn more about physical security controls that protect our data centers.

Data Hosting Location

All LawCatch data centers and servers are geo-located within the United States.

Vendor Security

We perform due diligence activities over new vendors prior to contract execution and on an annual basis thereafter. Due diligence activities include an assessment of information security practices based on the assessed level of vendor risk. 

Network Security

Our network is protected through the use of advanced services from Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure. These platforms provide robust controls, including: 

  • access restrictions, 
  • network security measures like firewalls and intrusion detection, 
  • and data encryption standards (AES, TLS 1.2+) to safeguard data in transit and at rest.

Our approach includes comprehensive monitoring and logging to detect and address security incidents, rigorous physical security measures at data centers, and stringent incident management protocols.

Logical Access

Access to sensitive resources, such as the development environment, code repository, or databases, is stringently controlled through a ticket-based system that requires review and approval. This procedure, along with regular access reviews and prompt termination of unnecessary access rights, upholds the security and confidentiality of data. 

Security Incident Response

Upon system alert detection, our incident response protocol is immediately activated. Our employees are thoroughly trained in security incident response, including established communication channels and escalation procedures. This ensures a swift, efficient, and coordinated response to any abnormalities detected at both the infrastructure and application levels, backed by the robust security layers of Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure.

Encryption

All connections to and from the BriefCatch platform are encrypted both in transit and at rest via industry standard HTTPS/TLS (TLS 1.2 or higher) over public networks, ensuring the highest level of security and data integrity during transmission.

Disaster Recovery

Our Disaster Recovery Plan ensures readiness for any disaster, with regular testing whenever significant procedural changes occur. This comprehensive plan includes organizational communication, disaster declaration, damage assessment, determination of service resumption timelines, and equipping employees for effective response. Managed by the Compliance Team, the plan also undergoes an annual review to maintain up-to-date backup documentation and ensure continuous preparedness.
