AI Without the Risk: How Law Firms can Embrace AI Transcription Safely

Safeguard client data with AI transcription. Learn how Trint offers secure, compliant solutions for law firms needing confidentiality and efficiency.
June 11, 2025

Client confidentiality and attorney-client privilege are the foundations of trust on which legal practices are built. However, as firms embrace digital transformation and adopt AI tools to deliver new efficiencies, a critical question looms: Can we trust AI with our most sensitive information?

The answer should be yes - if the AI is built with security and privacy at its core.

Legal professionals are transcribing an extraordinary volume of confidential information: privileged client consultations, case strategy calls and depositions - to name a few. And as the industry shifts toward cloud-based collaboration and digital automation, these assets are increasingly exposed to new vulnerabilities.

Cybersecurity threats are growing more sophisticated, regulatory scrutiny is constantly tightening and clients are demanding more assurance than ever that their information is safe.

For law firms, this creates a paradox: leverage AI for efficiency and the competitive edge, but never at the expense of confidentiality.

Not all AI is created equal. Many off-the-shelf AI transcription tools prioritize convenience and cost over security. Promises to transcribe faster and offer greater accuracy seem great at first, but the red flags appear when they:

  • Lack any globally-recognized security certification

  • Cannot demonstrate compliance with data privacy regulations

  • Or worse – access customer recordings to train their AI

Sound familiar? This is where client confidentiality and compliance are put at risk. Hence the lingering reservations with AI.

At Trint, we understand the unique challenges legal professionals face. That’s why we’ve built our AI-powered transcription and content platform around security-first principles:

  • ISO 27001 certification offers peace of mind that we have implemented a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS) that meets international best practices. Also, our Cyber Essentials attestation confirms that we’ve implemented security controls to protect against common cyber attacks.

  • Enterprise-grade encryption protects your data in transit and at rest. All data within Trint is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or later and at rest with AES 256-bit encryption.

  • No customer data is used to train public models - ever. While other AI transcription solutions use customer data to improve the accuracy of their AI models, we use external data sources. That way, no one sees your data but you - and your reputation remains intact.

  • A choice of US or EU data residency gives you added control over information flows, meaning you can safeguard compliance (e.g. GDPR) and avoid any risk of unwanted access.

  • Strict access controls and audit logs keep you in full command of your files. Whether you’re the administrator or an end-user, granular permissions are available to control information flows and guard against unauthorized access.

In short, Trint is secure by design. Whether you're transcribing depositions, analyzing case interviews, or collaborating on legal documents, Trint provides a secure environment where client confidentiality is never compromised.

AI adoption should be about raising the bar for what your firm can do, and safely; not lowering your guard. With Trint, you don’t have to choose between innovation and integrity.
