In legal practice, trust is built on a foundation of data security, confidentiality, and compliance. Legal organizations are accountable to clients, regulators, and partners to demonstrate that these safeguards are not just in place, but auditable and transparent.

For more than 50 years, LexisNexis® Legal & Professional has earned customer trust by protecting sensitive data, meeting rigorous privacy standards, and upholding responsible innovation. The LexisNexis Trust Center is the next step in that commitment—offering a centralized hub where current and potential partners can access the information they need to evaluate the company’s security and privacy posture, compliance frameworks, and governance practices.

Why Trust in Technology Partners is More Important Than Ever

Across industries, generative and agentic AI adoption is accelerating—and so are concerns about security and compliance. In a recent survey of 100 organizations with more than $50 million in revenue, McKinsey found that 63% view GenAI as a priority, but 91% admit they feel unprepared to do so responsibly. According to research by Deloitte, nearly 60% of AI leaders say their organization’s biggest challenges in adopting agentic AI involve integrating with legacy systems and addressing risk and compliance concerns.

These findings underscore why comprehensive security reviews, due diligence, and transparency are essential in today’s legal technology landscape. As legal professionals increasingly rely on technology and AI-powered solutions, understanding how their data is processed, protected, and governed has never been more critical. LexisNexis prioritizes security and privacy at every development stage through Privacy by Design, employing state-of-the-art encryption, compliance audits, access controls, vulnerability management, and a robust incident response framework.
