Security

Security in Tulip comes down to three things: your firm has its own database, each person gets the access their work needs, and what happened is recorded. There is no pooled store, no cross-firm index, and nothing about your record leaves your firm without your firm sending it.

What it is

Access set per person, one database per law firm, and a recorded trail of what happened.

What it is not

It is not a promise that software removes risk. Your team still decides who gets access.

Per person, not per firm

Partners, associates, and clerks do different work and need different access. Permissions are set per person and per case, so a person sees the cases they work on rather than everything the law firm has ever done.

One firm, one database

There is no shared table where several firms' cases sit together. A cross-firm query is not restricted; it is not possible, because there is nothing to query across.

A recorded trail

Who signed a draft off, who sent a document, and who changed the next step is recorded on the case. Not to police your team, but because a law firm periodically has to answer exactly that question.

Questions

Do you offer single sign-on?
It is part of what is scoped at setup for firms that need it. Ask us during the demo.
Are the files encrypted?
Yes, in transit and at rest, in your firm's own database.
Can a departing employee take the record?
Access is per person and is withdrawn when your firm withdraws it. What they did while they had access stays recorded.
