Keeping Lawyer IP Central in Microsoft 365: Qanooni's Security Model Explained
Confidentiality is the baseline. The only question with AI is whether you can move faster without moving your intellectual property. Qanooni's answer is yes. This is tenant‑first legal AI: assistance appears in Word; no third‑party document repository is introduced. Document contents remain within Azure, in Qanooni's own environment.
We bring assistance to Word while document contents remain in Azure (Qanooni environment). There is no separate third‑party repository to run, and day‑to‑day document management continues as normal. The result is faster drafting with a single custody story.
Why this matters for legal practice
Clients hire law firms for judgement and custody. A system that accelerates drafting in the tools lawyers already use without multiplying places where sensitive documents live, reduces duplication, keeps ownership simple and avoids a fresh admin estate. That is why our retrieval ties suggestions to authority, grounded in a governed legal data graph.
How it fits the working day
You open a matter in Word, ask for help and receive suggestions with citations. You keep what you can stand behind. You save and circulate as usual. The workflow is familiar; custody remains straightforward. Our trust posture centres on accuracy, auditability and alignment, The principles set out in Trust in Legal AI.
Keep IP central in Microsoft 365 (no third‑party document repository)
We do not introduce a public file‑sharing site or external document library. You continue to work in Word and Microsoft 365; assistance appears in the application, and your custody story stays singular. For how this meets lawyers where they work, see Microsoft 365 and legal work. Keeping IP central in Microsoft 365 means you gain speed without adding a third‑party document repository to govern.
Where your documents live
Qanooni runs in the cloud on Microsoft Azure. Document contents remain within Qanooni's environment in Azure; you don't have to stand up or administer a separate repository. Day to day, that means fewer copies, clearer ownership and less administrative sprawl.
Assurance (what you can tell a partner or a client)
Qanooni operates an independently assessed security programme. We hold ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and a SOC 2 Type II attestation covering the operating environment for the platform. Hosting is on Microsoft Azure's independently certified infrastructure.
