Security for sensitive legal work.

Clear controls for data location, access, encryption, human approval, and enterprise identity—designed for firms handling sensitive client work.

The security model

Control should be
visible in the workflow.

Security is built into every stage of Ardela—from signing in and opening a matter to reviewing an AI suggestion and approving the final change.

Security built into the way Ardela works.

A practical set of controls that helps firms protect sensitive work, govern access, and keep accountable people in control.

UK-hosted by default

Client recordings and documents are hosted in the United Kingdom by default, giving firms a clear and predictable data-location baseline.

Encryption throughout

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Audit trails record relevant access and actions inside the workspace.

Granular permissions

Roles, permission keys, and sharing grants keep access aligned with the people responsible for each piece of work.

Clear retention controls

Teams can export drafts to PDF and DOCX. A workspace administrator can request export or deletion of workspace data through support. When a workspace is closed, recordings, documents, and derived artefacts are handled according to the retention commitments in the privacy policy and the firm’s contract.

Approval-gated AI

Clara proposes rewrites, summaries, and redlines on an approval card. A note, letter, or contract is not overwritten until an authorised user accepts the change.

Enterprise identity

Enterprise supports SAML SSO and enforced MFA for firms that want centralised identity and access management.

Built for trust

Confident adoption, from day one.

The controls legal teams need to introduce Ardela thoughtfully and keep sensitive client work protected as adoption grows.

Access that follows responsibility

Roles, permission keys, and sharing grants keep access aligned with the people responsible for each piece of work.

Enterprise supports SAML SSO and enforced MFA for firms that want centralised identity and access management.

AI stays under human control

Clara proposes rewrites, summaries, and redlines on an approval card. A note, letter, or contract is not overwritten until an authorised user accepts the change.

Portable work and clear retention

Teams can export drafts to PDF and DOCX. A workspace administrator can request export or deletion of workspace data through support.

When a workspace is closed, recordings, documents, and derived artefacts are handled according to the retention commitments in the privacy policy and the firm’s contract.

Governance that scales with the firm

Core controls support everyday work, while Enterprise adds centralised identity, enhanced administration, and rollout support for larger organisations.
