Security & Compliance

Built for the data lawyers can't afford to lose.

Personal-injury firms hold two of the most sensitive kinds of data there are, privileged client files and medical records. Highbar is built around that from day one. We list our actual controls below, in plain terms, and we don't claim certifications we don't hold.

Controls

Live

Encryption in transit & at rest

TLS everywhere; production runs on an encrypted, BAA-covered AWS RDS (Postgres) host. Passwords are bcrypt-hashed.

Live

Authentication & sessions

Server-side sessions with httpOnly cookies; every route and mutation is validated against a live session, not just cookie presence.

Live

Role-based access control

Attorney / Paralegal / Intake / Admin roles, enforced server-side on every sensitive action (settlement figures, deletions, playbooks).

Live

Firm-level data isolation

Every firm's data is walled off. Access is scoped to your firm on every query, so one firm can never see another's cases, clients, or files.

Live

Append-only audit log

Who did what, when, written on every change, never edited or deleted. The evidentiary-integrity record firms expect.

Live

Zero data retention for AI

AI runs on Claude through a BAA-covered, zero-retention endpoint (Amazon Bedrock, under our AWS BAA). Case data is processed in transit, not stored by the model or used for training.

Live

Infrastructure monitoring

Account and infrastructure activity is logged continuously with AWS CloudTrail (multi-region, encrypted) and streamed to AWS CloudWatch. Administrative access to production infrastructure requires multi-factor authentication.

Roles & permissions

Enforced server-side on every action.
