Nexl is now ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified

Law firms are custodians of some of the most sensitive information in business. From client relationship data to deal strategy and litigation positions, the data that flows through a firm's systems demands a level of protection that goes beyond standard compliance. As Nexl grows its work with global firms and AmLaw 100 leaders, we wanted our security posture to reflect that responsibility.

We're pleased to share that Nexl has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification.

Why ISO/IEC 27001:2022

SOC 2 is a well-respected standard, and one we take seriously. Our decision to pursue ISO/IEC 27001:2022 alongside it was deliberate. Law firms operate globally, and so do the threats they face. The ISO standard is widely recognised as the benchmark for international information security management, and it aligns closely with the requirements of GDPR, making it particularly relevant for our clients in Europe and the APAC region.

The 2022 update is more rigorous than its 2013 predecessor. It reflects the realities of a cloud-first, AI-driven environment and required us to implement 11 new controls covering areas including threat intelligence, cloud security, data masking, and data leakage prevention. These controls ensure sensitive client data stays protected as it moves through our platform.

What this means for law firms

For a law firm to adopt new technology, the platform has to clear the firm's own internal compliance bar. IT and security teams ask hard questions, and they should. Achieving this certification means we can answer those questions with documentation and evidence, reducing the friction that often slows down procurement and implementation.

Our clients should be focused on growth strategy, not security due diligence. This certification gives them the confidence to do that.

What comes next

Security is the foundation everything else is built on. With our Series B funding from Tidemark Capital, we're accelerating our product roadmap and expanding what's possible for law firm growth. Doing that on a stable, certified security foundation means the innovation we're building is something firms can trust and adopt with confidence.

The business of law is becoming more data-driven, more collaborative, and more global. We're committed to being a platform that's built for that world.
