Lighthouse AI for Sensitive Data

Reduce the Risk of Inadvertent Sensitive Information Production

Get the speed and confidence you need when responding to large litigations, investigations, and regulatory and data privacy responses. Early and accurate detection of sensitive company information in a streamlined and targeted review workflow mitigates the risk of inadvertent production of mission-critical data.

AI-Powered Predictive Analytics

Today's documents aren't just multiplying—they're becoming more complex, making it harder to find sensitive information. Conventional term-based searching can easily miss sensitive data, such as when it is embedded into documents or shared via email. Any missed snippet is subject to production to the opposing party without adequate redaction or protective order, creating exposure.  

Lighthouse AI is designed to quickly identify sensitive content in datasets of any size, helping prevent inadvertent exposure and regulatory risk. Lighthouse AI results help review teams streamline downstream review and enhance redaction processes for greater efficiency and compliance.  

Protect Vital Intellectual Property (IP)

At the heart of a company is information that makes it unique and creates value –trade secrets, formulas, processes, and source code. This type of information must be closely safeguarded to prevent inadvertent disclosure to competitors.

Uncover Hidden Communication Risks

Toxic communication can be damaging to those involved, hurt company reputation, or negatively affect case outcomes. Finding these messages can support an investigation or be used as a precaution before producing documents. 

Comply with Privacy Regulations

The protection of personally identifiable information (PII) and personal health information (PHI) is often required, and regulations covering the transmission and production of PII/PHI are only increasing.  

Tech Company Avoids Sharing Source Code with Opposing Counsel Using AI

A multinational technology company protected source code before producing documents to opposing counsel.  

The company feared that their typical workflow—search and metadata analysis followed by 1L review—was insufficient and looked to Lighthouse for an alternative.  

We ran an AI source code classifier on the entire 100K document set and passed the results on to a team of 2L reviewers who confirmed the presence of additional source code.

Sensitive data identification encompasses the types of information that can open a company up to regulatory, IP infringement, or other risk. These can include: personal data like PII/PHI; company information like IP, trade secrets, confidential; and toxic communication.

What is the process of creating a novel classifier for confidential, trade secret, or IP?

Our linguists and data scientists will work with you to choose and train a large language model (LLM) that is best suited for your data.

Can I use my sensitive data models on more than one matter?

Yes, Lighthouse AI models can be used on multiple eDiscovery matters. In some cases, the same model can be used right away. In others, our team will adjust the model to best fit the matter at hand.
