Security Is the Foundation of Trust

If you handle personal injury or mass tort litigation, you already know how sensitive your data is. Every file contains medical histories, prescription records, diagnostic reports, and identity information that clients expect you to protect with the highest level of care. When you bring in a technology partner to help access and manage that information, you are extending that responsibility.

At SettLiT, we take that responsibility seriously. Security and compliance are not features we added later. They shape how the platform is designed, built, and operated from the ground up.

‍

Built on a Security-First Architecture

SettLiT runs on a modern cloud architecture designed to protect data at every stage of its lifecycle. That means encryption in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher, and encryption at rest using AES-256 standards. Our infrastructure is hosted with enterprise-grade providers, and role-based access controls ensure that users only see what they are authorized to access.

For law firms, this translates into confidence that medical records and claimant data are protected whether they are moving across networks or stored within the platform.

Access Controls That Reflect Legal Realities

In a law firm environment, not everyone needs access to everything. Partners, paralegals, intake teams, and operations staff all have different responsibilities. SettLiT mirrors that structure by enforcing role-based permissions aligned to job function, applying strong authentication requirements, and restricting environment access to authorized personnel.

We also review user access regularly, because security is not just about setting permissions once. It is about maintaining discipline over time.

‍

HIPAA Alignment and Regulatory Discipline

Personal injury and mass tort litigation operate within highly regulated environments. Healthcare data handling requirements are not optional. SettLiT maintains HIPAA-aligned controls and operational practices that govern how data is accessed, stored, retained, and protected.

We maintain formal policies around data handling, access management, retention, and incident response. We also conduct vendor and partner security reviews during onboarding, because security does not stop at our own infrastructure.

For firms that routinely respond to security questionnaires from co-counsel, healthcare providers, or litigation finance partners, working with a vendor that understands regulatory expectations makes a real difference.

SOC 2 Readiness and Operational Maturity

SettLiT is actively working toward SOC 2 Type II compliance, with controls mapped to the Trust Services Criteria for Security, Availability, and Confidentiality. Internal audits and control testing are underway, along with continued documentation and process formalization.

Even as certification progresses, our current controls are designed to reflect SOC 2 level rigor. For law firms, that signals operational maturity and a structured approach to managing risk.

Monitoring, Logging, and Incident Response

Security is not static. It requires continuous oversight. SettLiT maintains centralized logging and audit trails, continuous monitoring of system activity, defined incident response and escalation procedures, and regular backup and recovery testing.

In litigation, where deadlines matter and uptime is critical, availability and resilience are just as important as confidentiality. We design for both.

‍

Secure Development as an Ongoing Commitment

As the platform evolves, security evolves with it. We incorporate secure development lifecycle practices into how we build and ship software. That includes regular third-party penetration testing, structured code reviews, change management controls, separation of development and production environments, and ongoing vulnerability management.

This approach reduces long-term risk and ensures that growth does not come at the expense of security discipline.

Why This Matters for Your Firm

Ultimately, security is about trust. Your clients trust you with deeply personal medical information. You trust your vendors to help you handle that information responsibly.

When evaluating a medical record retrieval or digital health data partner, speed and coverage are important. But so is governance. So is compliance. So is the confidence that your partner has built their platform to meet the same standards you apply internally.

At SettLiT, we believe strong security posture is not simply about protection. It is about partnership.

‍

Looking Ahead

As medical data access becomes more digital across the legal industry, expectations around governance and compliance will only increase. Firms that align with vendors built on disciplined security frameworks will be better positioned to meet client expectations and enterprise diligence requirements.

SettLiT is designed to meet the security and compliance expectations of law firms, healthcare partners, and enterprise clients handling sensitive medical data.

Because in this industry, trust is earned through action, not claims.
