At Vidhaana, we take the protection of your sensitive legal data extremely seriously. As a legal technology platform serving law firms, corporate legal departments, and legal professionals worldwide, we understand the critical importance of maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and availability of legal information. Vidhaana implements industry-leading security controls, maintains rigorous compliance standards, and follows international best practices to safeguard your data. Our comprehensive security program is designed to protect attorney-client privilege, ensure regulatory compliance, and provide the trust and reliability that legal professionals demand.
Security Controls
Vidhaana employs multiple layers of security controls to protect your legal data throughout its entire lifecycle. Our security architecture is built on defense-in-depth principles, combining technical, administrative, and physical safeguards:
- Data Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2+ protocols with strong cipher suites, and encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Encryption keys are managed using industry-standard key management systems with regular rotation and secure storage. This ensures that your confidential legal documents, client communications, and case files remain protected from unauthorized access both during transmission and storage.
- Access Controls: We implement role-based access control (RBAC) with least-privilege principles, ensuring users can only access data necessary for their role. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is supported and recommended for all user accounts. Session management includes automatic timeouts, secure token handling, and granular permission controls at the document, case, and client level.
- Monitoring & Detection: Continuous security monitoring, comprehensive logging, and real-time intrusion detection systems protect against unauthorized access attempts and suspicious activities. Our Security Operations Center (SOC) monitors for threats 24/7, with automated alerting and incident response protocols.
- Vulnerability Management: Regular vulnerability scanning, security assessments, and third-party penetration testing ensure our platform remains secure against emerging threats. We conduct annual penetration tests by independent security firms and maintain a responsible disclosure program for security researchers.
Compliance Standards
Vidhaana maintains compliance with major international data protection and privacy regulations to ensure your legal practice meets regulatory requirements across jurisdictions:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): Full alignment with GDPR requirements for European Union data subjects, including data subject rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability), lawful basis for processing, data processing agreements (DPAs), and Privacy by Design principles. We support GDPR-compliant data handling for law firms serving EU clients.
- SOC 2 Compliance: Vidhaana maintains SOC 2 Type II aligned controls covering security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Our control framework is audited regularly to ensure ongoing compliance and continuous improvement. SOC 2 reports are available to enterprise customers upon request.
- HIPAA-Ready: For law firms handling protected health information (PHI) in healthcare litigation, personal injury, or medical malpractice cases, we provide HIPAA-ready safeguards including business associate agreements (BAAs), administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, and audit logging for PHI access.
- Data Residency: Enterprise customers can specify data residency requirements to ensure legal data is stored in specific geographic regions. We offer data centers in multiple jurisdictions to meet local data sovereignty requirements and support cross-border data transfer mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
Data Protection & Privacy
Vidhaana implements comprehensive data protection measures aligned with legal industry standards. We maintain strict data segregation between customers, ensuring your law firm's data remains completely isolated from other organizations. All data is backed up regularly with encrypted backups stored in geographically distributed locations. We provide configurable data retention policies, secure data deletion protocols, and support for legal holds and litigation preservation requirements. You retain full ownership of all your data, and we never use your confidential legal information to train AI models or for any purpose beyond providing our services.
Incident Response & Business Continuity
We maintain a documented incident response plan with clearly defined procedures for detecting, responding to, and recovering from security incidents. Our Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) operates 24/7 monitoring with defined escalation paths and notification procedures. In the event of a security incident affecting your data, we commit to transparent and timely communication in accordance with contractual obligations and applicable breach notification laws. Our business continuity and disaster recovery plans ensure high availability with 99.9% uptime SLA, automated failover capabilities, and regular disaster recovery testing.
Security Certifications & Audits
Vidhaana undergoes regular third-party security audits and maintains industry-recognized certifications. We conduct annual penetration tests, quarterly vulnerability assessments, and continuous security monitoring. Our infrastructure partners (AWS, Azure, GCP) maintain ISO 27001, SOC 2, and other relevant certifications. Compliance documentation, security questionnaires, and audit reports are available to enterprise customers through our security portal or by request from our compliance team.
Employee Security Training
All Vidhaana employees undergo comprehensive security awareness training, including data protection principles, confidentiality requirements, and secure development practices. Employees with access to customer data are subject to background checks and sign confidentiality agreements. Our development team follows secure coding standards and participates in regular security training to prevent vulnerabilities and maintain security best practices.
