The AI Risk in Legal Services
Generative AI can greatly accelerate contract analysis and drafting, but legal work almost always involves privileged or confidential information. When lawyers use unapproved AI tools, they create Shadow AI risks that traditional controls cannot detect or block. Uploading case files or settlement details to public models can breach client confidentiality requirements and even jeopardize privilege.
Top Resources for Security Teams
Harmonic Security for Law Firms
Harmonic Security provides the intelligent control layer necessary to govern AI use across the firm. We enable you to continuously monitor for the use of unapproved AI tools and agents, ensuring that teams only use the specific tools authorized for client work.
This is made possible by our models, which can detect a variety of legal use cases and related sensitive data types. This gives you the controls needed to enable the workforce to use AI without breaching contractual obligations.
Detect & Inventory Unapproved AI
Gain immediate visibility into the AI tools your staff are using. Harmonic continuously discovers and categorizes every AI application, from web-based chatbots to MCP servers. Instantly distinguish between sanctioned enterprise accounts and high-risk personal accounts to prevent "Shadow AI" usage that bypasses firm governance.
Redirect users to approved tooling for dedicated use cases, such as legal research.
Protect Confidential Legal Data
Prevent sensitive data from entering the wrong tools. Harmonic utilizes pre-trained, industry-specific Small Language Models (SLMs) designed to recognize unstructured legal data—such as settlement agreements, legal discourse, and private credit agreements.
We can identify this information in real time before it leaves your environment.
Create Custom Keyword Detections
Create custom detections specific to your sensitive keywords, codenames, or protected clients. Ensure you know and control exactly where those phrases go into AI tools.
FAQs
Quick answers about Harmonic Security
Harmonic does not rely on a fixed list or single category of AI tools. It finds AI wherever it appears and evaluates the actual data being shared, delivering controls that Netskope and Zscaler cannot match.
Harmonic uses purpose built small language models that understand user intent and sensitive data in milliseconds. This low latency analysis lets you enforce inline controls without slowing work down, rather than staying stuck in passive monitor mode.
Harmonic can be installed with a range of MDM tools, such as Kandji, Intune, or Jamf. Read more here https://docs.harmonicsecurity.app/browser-extension
