Privilege and confidentiality are the entire business model — and AI drafting tools are already inside the firm.
Law firms and professional services practices hold client data under a duty of confidentiality that goes further than most statutory obligations — yet fee-earners are among the most enthusiastic adopters of AI drafting and research tools. A single pasted clause from a live client matter into the wrong tool is a confidentiality breach with no regulator required to make it painful.
Five questions legal & professional services teams rarely have a clean answer to
If any of these make you pause, that pause is the gap Praeferre exists to close.
“If an associate drafted a client letter using a public AI tool, would privileged content have gone with it?”
See how — AI Data Leak Protection“Could you show a client, on request, exactly how their matter data is protected end to end?”
See how — GRC Automation“Do your outsourced e-discovery and document review vendors meet your own confidentiality standards?”
See how — Third-Party Risk Management“When did an independent tester last try to breach your client portal or DMS?”
See how — Penetration Testing“Is data protection oversight actually someone's job, or is it quietly assumed to be IT's problem?”
See how — DPO as a ServiceQuestions we get asked
The ones this page is built around are GDPR, UK GDPR and ISO/IEC 27001. Praeferre monitors all of them from a single engine, alongside anything else on the frameworks list and your own internal policies, so you are not running a separate programme per regulation.
Usually not in intent but in evidence. The questions above are the ones that tend to cause a pause — for example: “If an associate drafted a client letter using a public AI tool, would privileged content have gone with it?” Closing that kind of gap, and being able to show it is closed, is what the platform is for.
Most often AI Data Leak Protection, GRC Automation, Third-Party Risk Management, Penetration Testing and DPO as a Service — the modules the questions above map to. They share one data model and one dashboard, so evidence gathered for one framework counts towards the others.
Yes. Custom and internal frameworks are modelled in the same engine as the statutory ones, so an internal standard, a contractual commitment to a customer or a sector code of practice is monitored and evidenced the same way.

A short discovery call is enough to map which of these questions are already answered — and which aren't.
