The cornerstone of Andri: enterprise-grade security and document protection

At Andri.ai, security isn't just a feature—it's the foundation of everything we build. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on our enterprise-grade security infrastructure that protects every document and piece of data in our system. As a company built by experts with deep AWS experience, including co-founder Flynn Bundy's seven years at Amazon Web Services, we've implemented security practices that go beyond industry standards.

Document Storage: Beyond Traditional Legal Tech

While many legal document storage providers rely on traditional datacenter setups, Andri.ai leverages AWS's global infrastructure for unmatched security and reliability. "After spending seven years at AWS, I've seen firsthand how proper cloud security architecture surpasses traditional bare-metal setups," explains Flynn Bundy, co-founder of Andri.ai. "We're not just storing files—we're implementing the same security standards used by the world's largest financial institutions."

Our document storage system utilizes:

• Multi-region redundancy across EU datacenters
• AWS S3 with server-side encryption
• AWS KMS (Key Management Service) for encryption key management
• User-based access controls with granular permissions
• Real-time access logging and monitoring

Advanced Encryption Architecture

Every document uploaded to Andri.ai goes through our advanced encryption pipeline:

1. Initial Upload

• Immediate encryption using AWS KMS-managed keys
• Unique encryption keys for each document
• Automatic key rotation for enhanced security

2. Storage Layer

• Server-side encryption with AWS S3 (SSE-KMS)
• Multi-layer encryption envelope
• Encrypted data keys for each object
• Automatic multi-region replication

3. Access Control

• Fine-grained IAM policies
• Time-based access restrictions
• Audit logging of all access attempts
• Real-time security monitoring

Vector Database Isolation

One of our key innovations is how we handle document analysis data. Unlike systems that mix client data in shared indexes, Andri.ai maintains complete isolation:

• Each case gets its own dedicated vector index
• Zero cross-contamination between clients
• Encrypted vector storage
• Automatic index cleanup after case completion

"The industry standard of shared indexes is fundamentally flawed," states Bundy. "Our approach of complete isolation ensures client confidentiality at the data structure level."

Why Cloud Security Trumps Traditional Storage

While traditional legal document providers often tout their secure datacenters, the reality falls short of modern cloud capabilities. Traditional providers typically operate from a single physical location with limited redundancy and basic encryption, relying on manual security updates and offering minimal disaster recovery options. In contrast, Andri.ai's AWS-based infrastructure provides multi-region availability with 99.999999999% durability, enterprise-grade encryption, and automatic security patches. Our system ensures instant disaster recovery and maintains compliance with global standards, delivering a level of security and reliability that traditional setups simply cannot match.

Real-world Impact

Our security architecture has real benefits for law firms:

1. Disaster Recovery

• Instant failover between regions
• Zero data loss guarantee
• Continuous backup verification

2. Compliance

• GDPR compliance by design
• Automated compliance reporting
• Data residency guarantees

3. Access Control

• Role-based access control
• Time-limited document sharing
• Detailed audit trails

"Having worked on AWS's infrastructure team, I know the difference between marketing security and actual security," adds Bundy. "We've built Andri.ai's security to match the standards of global financial institutions while maintaining the ease of use lawyers need."

Looking Forward

As we continue to evolve, our security practices will always stay ahead of industry standards. We're already working on:

• Advanced threat detection
• Enhanced audit capabilities
• Expanded compliance certifications
• Additional encryption options

At Andri.ai, we believe that true innovation in legal tech must start with uncompromising security. By combining AWS's enterprise-grade infrastructure with our legal expertise, we've created a platform that lawyers can trust with their most sensitive documents.
