Governance · POPIA · data in South Africa

AI your firm
can account for.

Every request is checked against the requester's role before a model sees it, every action lands in the firm's audit trail, and model calls go through Silk's Azure account in South Africa North with storage disabled.

Free 14-day trial · then from R900 per attorney per month · extra usage only if your firm chooses it

Controls a managing partner can point to.

AI-use scope per role

The firm decides what each role may use AI for. Every request is classified against that scope before any model call; out-of-scope requests are declined, logged and routed to the firm's review queue, where reviewers decide and can grant standing exceptions.

A complete audit trail

Sign-ins, case opens, declined requests, approvals, policy edits, cap events and research searches are recorded per firm, for administrators to review.

An Azure account in South Africa

As currently configured, model calls go through Silk's Microsoft Azure AI Foundry account in South Africa North. Storage is disabled on each model call, and the platform operates under Microsoft's modified abuse-monitoring arrangement, so prompts and documents are not kept for review by the provider.

Platform

Sign-in you can defend

Every account confirms its email, and every sign-in asks for a second factor — an authenticator app, or a code emailed each time. Firms on Microsoft 365 can use Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on with directory import.

Account · Security

Firm-internal by design

Cases, positions and precedents never leave your firm's workspace — there is no cross-firm sharing to switch off. SharePoint access is read-only, through your firm's own Entra app registration.

Tenant isolation

Per attorney, per month

One price per seat.

Every seat carries a usage allowance that resets every five days — a fixed price, never a running account. Start on a 14-day trial, then choose each person's seat.

Questions firms ask

Does Silk make our firm POPIA-compliant?

No product can do that for you: your firm remains the responsible party for the personal information it processes. Silk gives you the controls to evidence your approach — role-based AI-use policies, a review queue, an audit trail and an Azure account in South Africa North — and its terms commit both parties to comply with POPIA.

Where is our data processed?

Your firm's data is stored in South Africa, and model calls go through Silk's Microsoft Azure account in South Africa North, as set out in the terms. Storage is disabled on each model call, and documents travel with each request rather than sitting in a provider-side file store.

Is our data used to train models?

No. Prompts, documents and answers are not used to train any model, and Silk does not use your content for product improvement without a separate written opt-in.

Who sees a declined request?

Your own firm's administrators and the reviewers for the requester's department, in the review queue. They can approve it, decline it, or grant a standing exception.

Can we sign in with our Microsoft accounts?

Yes. Each firm can connect Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on and import its directory. Without it, sign-in is email and password plus a second factor.

Adopt AI without losing your nerve.

After the trial, plans start at R900 per attorney per month — a fixed price with a five-day usage allowance, never a running account.
