Security & Compliance

Security your clients — and their clients — can trust

Law firms hold some of the most sensitive data there is. SpineLegal is built to protect it: UK/EU-hosted infrastructure, encryption end to end, Cyber Essentials certification, and AI that never acts without a fee-earner's sign-off.

Infrastructure

Hosted on Microsoft Azure, kept in your region

SpineLegal runs on Microsoft Azure global infrastructure, with customer data held in a named UK or EU region so you always know where your files live. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we provide a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) on request.

UK / EU data residency

Your data stays in the Azure region you choose — you can tell clients and regulators exactly where it's processed and stored.

Encryption end to end

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, so files are protected on the wire and on disk.

Resilient uptime

Backed by an uptime SLA of up to 99.99% on Enterprise, on Azure's global platform.

Access & assurance

Certified, tested, and locked down by design

Cyber Essentials certified

Independently certified against the UK government's Cyber Essentials scheme — the baseline enterprise and public-sector buyers expect.

Independently penetration-tested

The platform is subject to independent penetration testing and vulnerability scanning, so weaknesses are found and fixed before they matter.

Role-based access & audit logs

Granular, role-based permissions control who sees what, and a full audit trail records who did what, and when.

MFA & single sign-on

Multi-factor authentication and single sign-on keep accounts secure and simplify access for larger teams.

GDPR-ready

Designed for UK GDPR and EU GDPR obligations, with a DPA available and data-subject rights supported in the platform.

Client due diligence built in

Run AML and ID verification on clients — including corporate clients and beneficial owners — directly against the matter, with results logged.

Responsible AI

AI that assists — and never acts alone

Every SpineLegal AI agent works to a simple rule: nothing is sent, filed or committed without a fee-earner's confirmation. Agents prepare, draft, verify and flag; your team reviews and releases. It's the guardrail that lets you adopt AI without handing over judgement — and the reason our AI use stays defensible in a regulated practice.

Multi-jurisdiction

Compliant across the regions you work in

SpineLegal supports firms across the UK, Europe, the UAE and beyond — UK & EU GDPR, DIFC / ADGM / GCC conventions in the Gulf, running in seven languages on Azure's global platform. One system that respects the rules wherever your matters sit.
