Legora’s new ISO 42001 certification, issued by Prescient Security LLC, means that our clients can be confident that we are holding ourselves to the very highest industry standards when it comes to AI governance. 

The certification confirms that Legora’s embedded Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) is compliant with the world’s first international standard for AI governance.

As explained by our head of security Lars Backman: “Legora is built from the ground up to meet stringent compliance requirements, so clients can rest assured that they are in safe hands.” 

With the addition of this certification, Legora is now:

• GDPR compliant: All technical staff are based in Sweden, ensuring EU data processing at a higher level than our non-EU counterpart

  
  

• SOC 2 Type 2 certified: Verified to AICPA standards for secure, compliant data management, with continuous monitoring and independent audit

  
  

• ISO 27001 compliant: Operating under an internationally recognised information-security framework

  
  

• ISO 42001 certified: Our AI governance framework ensures that customers can trust how we implement, supervise, and evolve AI.

What ISO 42001 really means

ISO 42001 defines how responsible organisations should design, deploy, and monitor AI systems. It ensures that AI is not only effective, but explainable, transparent, and continually improved.

For Legora, the certification validates the same principles that have guided us since the start - human oversight, structured governance, and measurable accountability across every layer of our platform.

From our very earliest beginnings, we have also believed in working collaboratively with our clients, and we play a hands-on role in helping them adopt, integrate, and innovate Legora. 

The certification covers our entire AI lifecycle - from model selection, integration, and risk management to continuous monitoring and improvement across product, engineering, privacy, and compliance. Clients can therefore be confident that we are embedding best-practice governance at every stage.

Innovation with trust

Having been founded inside the biggest law firm in the Nordics, Legora was built in direct collaboration with lawyers from the start. This partnership shaped a product where control and transparency are built in - not bolted on.

Many AI vendors claim to be secure, but when it comes to governance and compliance, actions speak louder than words. Our ISO 42001 certification distinguishes Legora as one of the first legal AI providers globally to truly demonstrate compliance through independent audit and ongoing surveillance. This is more than a technical milestone - it’s a differentiator built on trust.

At Legora, we are proud to be demonstrating that innovation in law can be both cutting-edge and secure by design.
