Security at Capel

We understand that law firms handle highly sensitive client information. Security isn't an afterthought at Capel—it's foundational to everything we build.

End-to-End Encryption

All data transmitted between your devices and Capel servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256, the same standard used by banks and government agencies. Your documents and client information are never accessible in plaintext, even to our own engineers.

Irish Data Residency

Your data never leaves Ireland. We host all infrastructure in AWS Dublin (eu-west-1), ensuring compliance with Irish and EU data protection requirements. This means your client data is subject to Irish law and EU GDPR protections, not foreign jurisdictions.

GDPR Commitment

We honour all GDPR data subject requests including access, rectification, and deletion. As an Irish company handling Irish client data, we take data protection seriously. You can request a copy of your data or ask for deletion at any time by contacting our team.

Access Controls

Role-based access control ensures team members only see what they need. Multi-factor authentication is available for all accounts and mandatory for admin users. We maintain detailed audit logs of all access to sensitive data, available for your compliance reviews.

Business Continuity

Automated daily backups with point-in-time recovery ensure your data is never lost. Our infrastructure is designed for 99.9% uptime with automatic failover. In the unlikely event of a service disruption, your data remains safe and accessible as soon as systems recover.

Penetration Testing

We engage independent security firms to conduct annual penetration tests of our application and infrastructure. Findings are remediated promptly, and we continuously monitor for vulnerabilities using automated scanning tools. Security researchers can report vulnerabilities through our responsible disclosure programme.
