Our Security Commitment
At PDF.LEGAL, we understand that legal professionals handle highly sensitive and confidential information. Security is not just a feature—it's foundational to everything we do. We employ enterprise-grade security measures to protect your documents and data.
Data Encryption
In Transit
- TLS 1.3: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using the latest TLS 1.3 protocol
- HTTPS Everywhere: Our platform enforces HTTPS on all connections
- Certificate Pinning: Additional protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
At Rest
- AES-256 Encryption: All stored documents and data are encrypted using AES-256, the same standard used by government agencies
- Encrypted Backups: All backup data is also encrypted
- Key Management: Encryption keys are securely managed and rotated regularly
256-bit AES Encryption
AES-256 is virtually unbreakable with current technology. It would take billions of years for even the fastest supercomputers to crack a single encryption key through brute force.
