Built for Enterprise
Security Review
GAAS LAW is designed for enterprise procurement environments. Role-based permissions, audit logging, privileged document handling, encryption standards, and incident response protocols are built into the platform architecture. No security theatre—just mature, procurement-friendly security posture.
Security Architecture Overview
GAAS LAW operates on enterprise-grade infrastructure with security controls appropriate for handling privileged legal work product and sensitive claimant data. Our security posture is designed to pass CISO review, procurement scrutiny, and external audit.
Defense-in-Depth Architecture
Multi-layered security controls—network isolation, application-level access controls, database encryption, activity logging—provide defense-in-depth protection appropriate for legal work product handling.
Privileged Document Handling
All matter data is treated as privileged client work product. Document controls, role-based permissions, and audit logging ensure privileged materials are handled with appropriate sensitivity.
Access Controls & Role Permissions
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
GAAS LAW implements role-based permissions with least privilege principles. Users are assigned roles (Partner, Supervisor, Fee Earner, Paralegal, Insurer Portal User) with permissions appropriate to their function. Users can only access matters they are assigned to or supervising.
Partner / Supervisor
Full portfolio visibility, approval authority, override controls, audit access.
Fee Earner
Access to assigned matters only. Can create, edit, and request approval.
Paralegal
Limited access to assigned matters. Document upload, evidence tracking. No approval authority.
Insurer Portal User
Read-only access to matter health, reserve status, and approved outputs. No privileged work product.
Least Privilege Access Principles
Users are granted minimum necessary permissions. Fee earners cannot access matters they are not assigned to. Paralegals cannot approve outputs or override AI recommendations. Insurer portal users cannot access internal work product, notes, or draft analysis.
Procurement Standard: Role permissions are configurable by firm administrators. Default roles follow least privilege principles, but firms can customize permissions to match internal governance requirements.
Authentication & Session Management
GAAS LAW supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) integration with enterprise identity providers. Session timeouts, forced re-authentication, and password complexity requirements are configurable per firm security policies.
MFA Support
Time-based OTP, SMS, authenticator app support.
SSO Integration
SAML 2.0 and OAuth integration with enterprise identity providers.
Audit Logging & Activity Monitoring
Comprehensive Audit Trails
Every user action within GAAS LAW—login, matter access, document upload, AI output generation, approval, override, export—is logged with full audit trails. Logs include user ID, timestamp, IP address, action type, and affected resources. Audit logs are immutable and tamper-evident.
User Activity Logging
All user actions logged: login, matter access, document views, exports, approvals.
Data Access Logging
Every document view, matter access, and privileged content export logged.
Administrative Actions
Role changes, permission updates, configuration changes logged and alerted.
Retention & Export
Audit logs retained for compliance periods. Exportable for external audit.
Activity Monitoring & Anomaly Detection
Automated monitoring detects anomalous activity—unusual access patterns, bulk document exports, off-hours access from unexpected locations. Alerts are generated for security teams and firm administrators when suspicious activity is detected.
Alert Examples: User accessing matters they are not assigned to, bulk document export outside business hours, repeated failed login attempts, privilege escalation attempts.
Data Protection & Encryption
Encryption Standards
Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. TLS 1.3 for all network communications. AES-256 encryption for data at rest. Database-level encryption with key rotation policies. Encrypted backups with separate encryption keys.
Data in Transit
TLS 1.3 enforced. No unencrypted HTTP connections permitted.
Data at Rest
AES-256 encryption for database, file storage, and backups.
Privileged Document Handling
All matter documents, AI-generated outputs, internal notes, and work product are treated as legally privileged. Document access is logged. Insurer portal users cannot access privileged work product—only approved summaries, matter health scores, and external reporting outputs.
Privilege Protection: Privileged documents are marked explicitly. Role-based controls prevent unauthorized access. All document access logged for audit trail.
Data Retention & Deletion Controls
Firms configure retention policies per legal and regulatory requirements. Matter data can be archived or deleted after file closure. Secure deletion processes ensure data is irrecoverable. Retention policies are enforced automatically with audit logging.
Configurable Retention
Firms set retention periods per internal policies and regulatory requirements.
Secure Deletion
Data deletion follows secure erasure protocols. Deletion actions logged for audit.
Infrastructure & Environment Separation
Environment Separation
Production, staging, and development environments are strictly separated. Production data is never used in non-production environments without anonymization. Network isolation, separate credentials, and access controls prevent cross-environment contamination.
Separation Policy: Production environment accessible only to authorized operations personnel. Development and staging environments use synthetic or anonymized data.
Third-Party Model Governance
GAAS LAW may use third-party AI models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) for specific tasks. Client matter data sent to third-party models is subject to data processing agreements, no-training clauses, and confidentiality requirements. Firms are informed which third-party services are used.
Vendor Security Posture: Third-party AI providers selected based on enterprise security posture, data processing agreements, and no-training guarantees. Vendor security assessments conducted regularly.
Incident Response & Business Continuity
GAAS LAW maintains incident response protocols and business continuity plans appropriate for enterprise legal operations.
Incident Response Procedures
Security incidents trigger documented response procedures—containment, investigation, notification, remediation. Affected customers notified in accordance with contractual obligations and regulatory requirements.
Notification: Security incidents affecting customer data result in prompt notification to affected firms.
Backup & Recovery
Automated encrypted backups with retention policies. Regular disaster recovery testing. Recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO) documented per service level agreements.
Business Continuity: Backup infrastructure in separate geographic regions. Regular recovery testing conducted.
