As a lawyer, you are legally obliged to protect professional secrecy. That is impossible when your files are stored on American servers, accessible via the CLOUD Act.
Professional secrecy is the cornerstone of legal practice. Digital tools must respect that.
Article 458 of the Criminal Code obliges you to confidentiality. A US cloud that is obliged to hand over data to the American government is incompatible with this obligation.
The Bar Association sets requirements for digital security of client data. Canvos meets these requirements with encryption, access control and audit trails.
You process special categories of personal data. The GDPR requires appropriate technical and organisational measures — Canvos provides these by default.
Encrypted, controlled and traceable — exactly what your profession requires.
All case files stored encrypted (at rest & in transit). Access only for authorised staff of the relevant case.
Automatically block external sharing of case documents. Configure rules by classification, file type or folder.
Label case files as Confidential by default. No external sharing, no public links, downloads logged. Enforcement at API and UI level.
Create a shared folder per case with controlled access. Staff only see cases for which they are authorised.
Mandatory disclaimers, attachment restrictions and compliance BCC. Every outgoing email is checked against policy.
Internal chat via Matrix (self-hosted) and video calls via Jitsi. No data via external servers.
Canvos is designed with security as the starting point — not an afterthought.
From rate limiting to CORS policy, from input validation to CSP headers — active by default.
Structured logging on every route. Who, what, when — exportable for auditors.
Public, Internal, Confidential, Restricted. Automatic enforcement on every action.
