Lexsoft achieves ISO 27017 certification for cloud security

Lexsoft has achieved ISO/IEC 27017 certification for its cloud services and announced the expanded accessibility of its T3 knowledge management solution in the European Union, United Kingdom, and United States through Microsoft Azure.

ISO/IEC 27017 is an internationally recognised standard for information security, aimed at ensuring secure cloud services by implementing controls based on ISO/IEC 27002. With this certification, Lexsoft has demonstrated robust security practices in its T3 solution, meeting high cloud security standards to deliver the software securely and reliably.

Carlos García-Egocheaga, CEO of Lexsoft Systems, stated, "The achievement of this certification shows our genuine commitment to meeting and exceeding the information security expectations of our clients in the cloud, as we expand T3's availability across regions. They can trust us. We take cloud security very seriously, especially as we know that T3 is the repository for our customers' global IP and crown jewels – i.e., their knowledge documents."

He further noted, "We consider this certification a significant accomplishment, it's typically the larger technology vendors who attain this standard. The assessment is rigorous, strict, and detailed."

The ISO 27017 assessment involves an extensive evaluation, covering data protection, access control, incident response, and risk management. This certification indicates that Lexsoft effectively manages the unique security risks tied to cloud service provision, particularly concerning data handling and protection, the company states. As such, sensitive information related to T3 is securely managed at rest, in transit, and during processing to mitigate risks of unauthorized access, data breaches, and unintentional loss.

Through compliance with the ISO 27017 framework, Lexsoft assures its T3 cloud customers that it routinely meets the legal and regulatory data protection requirements, including GDPR and other relevant data privacy laws across regions.

ISO, the organisation behind these standards, is an independent, non-governmental international body, consisting of 167 national member standards organisations. Lexsoft already holds ISO 27001 certification, further underpinning its commitment to stringent security standards.

Lexsoft states the company provides IT and business process solutions to the legal sector across Europe, the United States, and Latin America. Lexsoft primarily exists to assist law firms and corporate legal departments (CLD) to improve their document management, knowledge management, practice management, and CRM processes. This helps to facilitate business efficiency, improve productivity, and reduce risk, the company states.

Overall, Lexsoft is a specialist software vendor, providing Lexsoft T3, an OpenAI-powered legal knowledge management solution, to law firms. Lexsoft T3 is a proven knowledge management solution, offering a comprehensive workflow for this business function.
