Grow with AI. Keep client data safe.
We offer data loss prevention, human + machine monitored, for law, accounting and financial services firms. It begins with a complimentary audit.
We are currently working with law and accounting firms in Portugal.
What we watch.
Client data now lives in more places than anyone planned, and AI tools reach many of them. The audit finds each one, and we keep watch over all four.
Email and attachments
Where client data travels every day, attachments included.
- Attachments sent to the wrong person
- Client files forwarded to personal accounts
- Threads kept long after a matter closes
AI tools and note takers
Chat histories, AI-drafted documents and meeting recordings.
- Shadow AI: tools no one approved
- What each AI tool can reach
- Note takers recording client calls
Files and documents
Shared drives, document management and practice software.
- Folders shared too widely
- Sharing links open to outsiders
- Sensitive files out of place
Backups and archives
Copies of everything, kept for the day something goes wrong.
- Backups within reach of AI tools
- Old data that could be archived
- Copies no one needs any more

Keeping client data safe
The same care, for firms whose client data AI tools now reach: data loss prevention, human + machine monitored.
Questions firms ask.
What is data loss prevention?
Data loss prevention, sometimes called data leak prevention, is how a firm keeps sensitive information where it belongs: out of the wrong inbox, out of folders shared too widely, and out of tools no one approved. With us it begins with an audit, and software and people keep watch from then on.
What does the audit include?
The audit finds where your client data lives (email and attachments, AI tools and note takers, files and documents, backups and archives), what is prone to leak, and what each AI tool can reach. You receive it as a data map with our recommendations. Your first audit is complimentary, and the report is yours to keep, with no obligation to engage us.
What does human + machine monitoring mean?
Software watches all the time and flags what changes: a new AI tool, a folder shared too widely, client data somewhere new. Our people judge what it finds, and you hear at once when something needs a decision, with our advice. The outcome is client data that stays where it belongs.
Can our people keep using AI?
Yes, and we encourage it. We are here so your firm can grow with AI and keep client data safe: we show what each tool can reach, and help you keep the useful ones safely.
What is shadow AI?
Shadow AI is any AI tool used at a firm without anyone approving it, often on a personal account. It usually means someone found something useful, so we bring it into the open and help you keep what is safe.
Do AI note takers put client data at risk?
They can hold a lot of it: recordings, transcripts and summaries of client meetings, often kept longer than anyone planned. The audit shows where they keep it and who can reach it, and we keep watch from then on.
Is this software?
It is a service run by people, and monitoring software is one of their instruments: it watches all the time, and our people judge what it finds. When your firm needs a tool, for data loss prevention, backup or archiving, we choose it with you, negotiate its terms and pass its fees on at cost.
Who is it for?
Law firms, accounting firms and financial services firms that want to grow with AI. Their name rests on how they handle client data, so cyber security for law firms and cyber security for accounting firms now cover the AI tools they use. We are currently working with law and accounting firms in Portugal.
Can you help us build something?
Yes. When your firm needs more hands, we recommend AI-native development companies we have vetted, and keep watching their work.
Do you help with cyber insurance?
Yes. Before your policy is placed or renewed, we work through the insurer's questionnaire with you, from what the audit and monitoring already show, and flag any gap early enough to close.
How is it priced?
The first audit is on us. Monitoring is quoted after it, once we know your firm.
Do you keep our data?
We keep no client data. Monitoring runs inside your own systems with read-only access you approve, and we store only our findings, encrypted, in the EU.
