What You Receive

A written record, not a conversation you have to remember.

→Current-state AI governance assessment
→AI use and exposure map across deliberate tools, passive platform features, and staff workflows
→Identified governance and control gaps, tied to specific professional and privacy obligations
→Prioritized risk findings and recommended controls
→A practical 90-day governance roadmap: what to fix first, what can wait, what requires escalation

The audit is the document a firm reaches for when a client's procurement questionnaire, an insurer's renewal form, or a regulator's inquiry asks how AI use is supervised.

Most firms cannot answer the first question: which AI tools are touching client files today — not which are approved, which are in use.

Until that question has an answer, the ones after it cannot be answered either.

The Audit

Five areas, every time.

Not a discovery call. The same five-area assessment on every engagement, so findings are comparable rather than improvised.

01

AI use & exposure

Where AI and AI-enabled tools are used across the firm, formally and informally.

02

Data & confidentiality exposure

How client, confidential, personal or other sensitive information interacts with AI-enabled systems.

03

Human oversight

Where AI-assisted work requires review, verification, approval, or professional judgment.

04

Governance & accountability

Policies, responsibilities, approval processes, staff expectations, and escalation mechanisms.

05

Governance evidence

What records demonstrate that AI-related decisions, controls and oversight are actually being managed.

Your Information

What happens to what the audit finds.

A firm buying this audit is inviting an outsider to write its governance gaps down. That is a reasonable thing to hesitate over, so here is the handling, stated plainly rather than on request.

01

Identifiers are removed by code, not by memory

Before any part of your session notes reaches a hosted AI system, firm names, staff names, client references, matter numbers, emails, phone numbers and addresses are replaced with placeholder tokens. This is done by a deterministic program. No AI model performs the removal.

02

The checks fail closed

If a declared identifier survives the replacement, nothing is sent — the process stops rather than continuing. A second check runs before any report reaches a client: if a placeholder survives into the final text, the document is not issued.

03

The mapping is separated and then destroyed

The link between placeholders and real names is encrypted, held apart from the analysis, and deleted when your report is delivered. Nothing else in the system stores your firm's name.

04

A human reads every flag

The program flags names and entities it could not account for. Those flags are read by a person on every engagement — they are not cleared automatically, and the review is a required step rather than a good intention.

05

A record exists of how the work was produced

Each engagement keeps a drafting record: which system was used, its version, the date, who operated it, who reviewed the output, and whether it was accepted, edited or rejected. Content hashes only — no prompt text and no output text is retained.

06

What this does not claim

This controls where your firm's identity travels. It is not anonymisation, and it is not described as anonymisation. A practice can be recognisable from description without being named anywhere — which is exactly why the human read exists and why the claim stops here rather than going further.

Why this is on the page at all. A firm that cannot say what happens to its own client information should not be selling governance to firms that need to. The controls above are the same kind of thing the audit looks for in your practice: a step that cannot be skipped, a check that fails closed, and a record that survives the decision.

The standard SYSTERA sells is the standard SYSTERA practices. This section is where that stops being a slogan.

Scope

What the audit is not.

✕

Not legal advice

SYSTERA provides AI governance infrastructure and operational risk analysis. The audit helps a firm identify governance gaps and decide when to seek advice from counsel. It does not provide that advice.

✕

Not a compliance certification

No certificate, no pass mark, no statement that a firm is compliant. It is not a cybersecurity penetration test or a regulatory certification. The deliverable describes exposure and priority, and says where the evidence is thin.

✕

Not a sales call

The audit is paid and stands alone. Implementation is scoped afterwards only if a firm wants it. The written deliverable is useful to a firm that never engages SYSTERA again.

FAQ

Questions firms ask before booking.

No. The audit is often most useful for firms that believe they are not using AI. AI may already be present through Microsoft 365, Clio, legal research tools, transcription tools, intake systems, or individual staff workflows.
The written deliverable goes to your firm. The identity of the firm is removed before any part of the material reaches a hosted AI system, and the mapping that would restore it is destroyed when your report is delivered.
No. The audit runs on a structured session and a completed questionnaire. It does not require credentials, system access, or a connection to your practice management software.
No. The session is booked directly and the fee is fixed at $950 CAD. If it turns out the audit is not the right fit for your firm, that is better established in the session than in a call before it.
It means AI never files, sends, advises, or takes consequential action without an assigned human review point. The checkpoint is matched to the actual risk: citation verification, client-data review, privilege review, factual accuracy, disclosure, or escalation. The review is logged, not informal.
Professional accountability remains with the firm. Vendor terms rarely remove your duties to clients, courts, regulators, or privacy obligations. That is why the question is not only which AI tool you use, but whether you can show how it was governed, reviewed, and documented.
No. SYSTERA provides AI governance infrastructure and operational risk analysis. We do not provide legal advice. The audit is designed to help law firms identify governance gaps and make better internal decisions, including when to seek legal advice from counsel.
Nothing, unless you want it to. The deliverable is written to be useful on its own. If implementation is needed, it is scoped separately after the audit.
Book

Do you know where AI already touches your client work?

Sixty minutes, a written report within seven business days, $950 CAD. No retainer required.

The audit is not designed to shame AI use. It is designed to make existing use visible, controlled, and easier to defend.
