Legal vertical is on the 2028 roadmap. Telesphoros's compliance primitives (agreement enforcement, AI classification of privileged matter, append-only audit chain) are already shipping for HIPAA; the ABA configuration activates when the first paid legal pilot is in place. Below is the target offering — automated NDA enforcement, matter-scoped encryption, and tamper-evident audit trails designed to hold up in court. Get in touch for early-access terms.
Law firms are the #1 target for state-sponsored cyberattacks. 29% of the Am Law 200 reported a breach in the last 3 years. Once privilege is breached, it can be waived entirely. E-discovery obligations under FRCP require provable chain-of-custody for every document — "we think it wasn't tampered with" doesn't survive a motion to compel.

decentralized storage
AI classifier auto-identifies attorney-client privileged documents on upload. Role-based access control ensures only authorized attorneys can access sensitive files. Smart redaction strips privilege markers for non-privileged viewers.
Append-only audit trail with cryptographic chain hashing and Merkle tree integrity. Every access logged with who/what/when/where/why. Blockchain-anchored daily on Cardano L1 for immutable timestamping.
Entity extraction detects case numbers, party names, court identifiers, and document references across uploaded files. Automatically links related documents for discovery preparation.
8-rule engine detects unusual access patterns — off-hours document access, bulk downloads, impossible travel, rapid exfiltration. Auto IP blocklist and key rotation on critical alerts.
Place litigation holds on any file to prevent deletion regardless of retention schedule. Fully audit-logged with previous state for discovery compliance. Release with documented reason.
API-first middleware integrates with iManage, NetDocuments, Clio, and any system with REST API capabilities. No vendor lock-in — CZI sits between your DMS and encrypted storage.
Opposing counsel requests all documents related to Case #2024-CV-1234. CZI's cross-file relationship detection identifies all linked documents. The chain-hashed audit trail provides court-admissible proof that no documents were altered since upload.
Co-counsel at another firm needs access to case documents. CZI's NDA enforcement ensures the receiving firm has a signed agreement before any files are accessible. Role-based access limits what each firm can see. Every access is audit-logged.
Privileged documents are encrypted and distributed across Iagon's decentralized network. No single server holds a complete document. A breach of any single node yields encrypted fragments — mathematically useless without the tenant's HKDF-derived key.
All privileged documents sit in one vendor's cloud. A single breach exposes the entire privilege database. A government subpoena to the cloud provider can access everything. Single point of failure for your most sensitive files.
Every document access is recorded in an append-only log with chain hashing. The log is blockchain-anchored daily. Tampering is mathematically detectable. This is court-admissible proof of document integrity.
Access logs are stored in mutable databases. An admin with database access can alter or delete logs. "We didn't find evidence of tampering" is not the same as "tampering is mathematically impossible."
Middleware blocks document uploads if client hasn't signed an NDA. No manual tracking — the system enforces it at the API layer.
Automatically identifies attorney-client privileged content, legal documents, PII, and 5 other categories on upload.
Detects case numbers, party names, court identifiers, NPI, EIN, and MRN across documents for relationship mapping.
Owner, Admin, Editor, Viewer — each with scoped API keys and enforced permissions across storage and compliance endpoints.
Prevent deletion during litigation. Hold and release actions are audit-logged with reason, actor, and previous state for discovery compliance.
Pay for storage and API calls, not per-seat. A 5-attorney boutique pays the same rate as a 500-attorney Am Law firm.
