Security & Sovereignty

Built for the profession that invented confidentiality.

Your ethical obligations don't pause when you use technology. Squire's architecture was designed by people who understand that. Your queries, documents, and client information are never shared, never used to train our models, and never accessible to anyone but you.

Our security commitments

We've made these architectural and operational decisions deliberately. They aren't marketing claims - they're commitments we'd be willing to put in a contract.

  • Your queries are never used to train our models.

    Full stop. We don't have a clause that says "except for...". We don't train on customer data.

  • Your data does not leave your jurisdiction.

    Your data is processed and stored in infrastructure local to your jurisdiction.

  • PII is scrubbed before it touches the model.

    Names, ID numbers, and identifying details are pseudonymised before any model call.

  • Per-firm encryption keys.

    Each firm's data is encrypted with keys we cannot use to read another firm's data.

Sovereignty & POPIA, answered

The two questions we're asked most before a firm signs off on Squire.

What does "sovereign legal AI" mean, and why does it matter for South African law firms?

"Sovereign" means the AI respects your jurisdiction's laws and data. Squire™'s intelligence is built on local law content, and your data is stored in-region and encrypted under a key unique to your firm. This supports data-sovereignty requirements: your data stays under your control. Fully in-country and on-premise inference is supported for Enterprise deployments. It also means Squire™'s answers are grounded in your specific legal system. For a law firm this isn't just an infrastructure preference - it's an extension of attorney-client privilege and the duty of confidentiality: privileged matter data shouldn't leave the jurisdiction (or the firm's control) just to get an AI answer.

Is Squire™ POPIA compliant?

Yes. Squire™ is designed to meet South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) as well as GDPR. Beyond in-region data-at-rest and per-firm encryption, Squire™ ships data-subject-access tooling (right-to-know), an erasure cascade that rewrites downstream artefacts when a token is forgotten, and an audit log of LLM requests - the operational evidence a responsible party needs to answer a data subject request or a query from the Information Regulator, not just a compliance claim in a privacy policy.
