Solicitor-client privilege requires more than a password.

Canadian law society requirements, client confidentiality obligations, and trust documentation — SecureVault provides the compliant infrastructure your practice requires.

The Requirement

Using US cloud storage may breach your professional obligations.

Law societies across Canada require lawyers to protect client information with professional-grade security. Consumer cloud storage governed by US law — and subject to the CLOUD Act — may not satisfy your duty of confidentiality. SecureVault operates exclusively under Canadian law.

⚠ CLOUD Act Risk

US cloud providers — including those with Canadian data centres — are subject to the US CLOUD Act. Federal agencies can compel disclosure of your clients' data without your knowledge or consent. For regulated professionals, this creates real professional liability. SecureVault is a Canadian company operating exclusively under Canadian law.
