Privilege doesn't survive a glance over the shoulder.

Legal work happens on planes, in client lobbies, and in shared discovery rooms, not just behind a locked office door. A login protects the file from a stranger on the network. It does nothing about the stranger reading the screen over your shoulder. SpiAlert keeps privileged work visible only to the verified attorney or reviewer, continuously.

The gap in this environment

A password protects the file. It does not protect the screen.

Standard security confirms an attorney or reviewer once at login and then trusts whatever room, train car, or client lobby the laptop is open in for the rest of the session. Privileged work product and case strategy sit exposed to anyone within eyeshot, and that exposure can put the very privilege the firm exists to protect at risk.

SpiAlert holds the session to a verified human second by second, passively, using the webcams you already have. When the authorized person is not present, access is denied and the screen is protected immediately, then revealed automatically when they return.

Privilege and work product

Why this matters here

Courts have found privilege waived over exposure far less deliberate than a document left visible on a screen. A firm's duty of reasonable safeguards is not met by a password alone when the actual failure point is a shoulder-surfed screen in a public space or a shared discovery room. SpiAlert ties visibility of the file to a specific, continuously verified human, a materially stronger safeguard than a credential check at login.

Where it applies

Use cases for this industry.

Traveling attorney protection

Continuous presence verification keeps privileged documents visible only to the attorney, on planes, in courthouses, and in client offices.

Discovery and review room integrity

Verify the billed reviewer is the one actually at the screen throughout document review, with presence logs supporting defensible billing and audit trails.

War rooms and deal teams

Keep shared strategy and negotiation screens visible only to cleared team members during live matters.

Outside counsel and vendor access

Verify third-party counsel and vendor identity during defined access windows, with presence logs supporting oversight.

What it delivers

What SpiAlert delivers here.

SpiAlert is architected to support your compliance obligations. It provides continuous presence evidence, not a certification.

Presence at the point of view

Verifies the authorized attorney or reviewer continuously, not only at the login screen.

Forensic-grade presence record

A continuous presence trail that supports a defensible record of reasonable safeguards around privileged material.

Data sovereignty by design

No raw images stored or transmitted. Facial data is converted to irreversible templates. A sovereign server keeps governance with the firm.

The bottom line

Privilege is not protected by a password, it is protected by who is actually looking at the screen. SpiAlert ensures that person is always the one you authorized.
