Security
Built to meet law firm security requirements.
Your firm's data protected by the same standards financial institutions use — with the audit trail your managing partner wants to see.
Data isolation
Your firm's data, completely isolated.
- Each firm's data is kept entirely separate — never combined with another firm's data.
- Your credentials are encrypted and never visible to Ferrule employees or any third party.
- Attorneys can only access the tools you have specifically authorized — nothing more.
Access control
You decide who sees what.
Assign roles to every team member. Control which integrations each person can access. Owners and admins manage the dashboard; members see only what you allow.
Owner / Admin
Full dashboard access. Manage integrations, team members, and billing.
Attorney
Access to the tools you authorize — nothing outside your defined scope.
Paralegal / Staff
Restricted to specific tools and data relevant to their role.
Revoke access instantly if an employee leaves. Two-step login required for all users — supports authenticator apps and hardware security keys.
No document storage
Ferrule never stores your documents.
Ferrule connects your tools to AI — it does not copy, cache, or store your firm's files. When an attorney asks their AI assistant to find a document, Ferrule passes the request through and returns the result. Nothing is saved on Ferrule's servers.
Authentication
Multi-factor authentication on every account.
Every Ferrule account supports two-step login and hardware security key login. No shared passwords, no access credentials pasted into chat windows.
Two-step login
Use an authenticator app on your phone to verify your identity at every sign-in.
Hardware security key
Plug in a physical security key (YubiKey or similar) for the strongest available login protection.
Audit trail
A complete record for compliance.
- Every action taken by an AI assistant is logged — what data was accessed, by whom, and when.
- Ready for bar association compliance review — no developer required to pull the report.
- View the audit log from your dashboard. Export for your records at any time.
Compliance readiness
Built for firms that answer to bar associations.
Ferrule's security controls are designed for firms subject to attorney-client privilege, bar ethics rules, and client confidentiality obligations. We document exactly what we do so you can evaluate fit with your firm's requirements.
