FAQs

Yes. Juristat holds SOC 2 Type II certification, which is the more rigorous, ongoing certification (as opposed to a one-time assessment). Upon signing an NDA, Juristat's security team will share the full audit report and any other reasonable supporting evidence upon request.
Yes. Juristat conducts at least one external penetration test per year. Relevant findings and outcomes are documented in our SOC 2 Type II report.
Yes. SSO is available to customers for a nominal fee to cover infrastructure and maintenance costs. MFA is supported through your SSO provider.
The Data Layer MCP gives you access to the same Juristat patent data you can already see when you log into the website. Your access is tied to your existing account permissions.
Juristat collects standard usage telemetry (similar to most web platforms). We also maintain access audit logs as required by contract and applicable regulations. These logs may include user information (name and email address), access timestamps, and records of specific activity
Yes. Any non-publicly available data obtained from your organization is logically isolated from all other customers. Insights or outputs derived from your data cannot affect another customer's experience, and vice versa.
Juristat’s infrastructure and all of its USPTO data are hosted in the United States on AWS, US-East-1. Customer data processed by Juristat’s MCP server including tool call parameters and any logs thereof, remain within US AWS regions.
Juristat does not use customer content, data, queries, or prompts to train AI models.
Your LLM’s AI processes your data: not Juristat. When you query Juristat’s data through one of your AI tools, the AI tool (e.g. CoPilot) processes your query to determine what data is needed to respond. It then calls Juristat’s MCP tools to obtain that data, which is then incorporated into your conversation with your LLM. The data you upload into a conversation is governed by your agreement with your AI provider.
Access to customer data is tightly restricted. Only a limited number of vetted, onshore engineers have "break-glass" emergency access, meaning they can only access customer data when necessary for emergencies or to respond to a specific customer inquiry, as outlined in your contract.
