Independent audit confirms adherence to industry-recognized data protection standards 

 

AUSTIN, TX – April 4, 2025 — Candle AI, Inc., a legal technology company building secure, AI-powered tools for law firms and legal teams, announced today at the 2025 ABA Techshow in Chicago that it has achieved SOC 2 compliance following an independent audit of its systems and processes. 

Candle’s flagship email assistant product helps legal professionals reclaim hours lost to email by automatically drafting high-quality responses to client inquiries — pulling relevant data directly from the firm’s knowledge base, case management system and relevant external sources, and showing it right in the inbox. By streamlining how lawyers handle communication, the tool reduces response time and improves accuracy, all while maintaining the highest standards of data security. 

The audit affirms that Candle has designed and implemented rigorous controls aligned with industry best practices across the trust principles of security, availability and confidentiality. 

“For firms handling sensitive data, strong security is mission-critical,” said Sujith Jose, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Candle. “We’ve built our platform with security at its core — not just to meet industry standards, but to give our customers peace of mind that their data is protected every step of the way.” 

Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 compliance is a widely recognized framework for evaluating a company’s ability to safeguard customer data. Independent auditors verify that a company’s systems are thoughtfully designed to meet strict standards.
