Security & Compliance

Your Clients Trust You. We Protect That Trust.

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect

AI Security

AI That Respects Confidentiality

Oberon’s AI features are designed with the same security-first approach as every other part of the platform. Your firm’s data is never used to train external models.

Private Environment

AI processing occurs within your firm’s isolated environment. Your data is never shared with other tenants or used for model training.

No Data Leakage

AI queries and responses are processed in-session and are not stored beyond the active session unless explicitly saved by the user.

Access-Aware AI

The AI respects all RBAC and ethical wall settings. Users can only query data they already have permission to access.

Audited AI Usage

Every AI interaction is logged in the audit trail, providing complete visibility into how AI is being used across your firm.

Firm-Level Controls

Administrators can enable or disable AI features globally or per user, and configure which data sources the AI can access.

Legal-Trained Models

Our AI is fine-tuned on legal best practices and jurisdictional knowledge for Ireland and the UK, delivering relevant and accurate outputs.
