Technical Overview

### Maintaining Attorney-Client Privilege in a Digital World The ethical duty of confidentiality is the bedrock of the legal profession. In the age of cyberattacks, "normal" email is no longer sufficient for sharing discovery. When you **encrypt your sensitive legal discovery files**, you are fulfilling your professional responsibility to protect your client's data. ### Why Cloud Encryption is a Risk If you use a website to "Protect PDF" and they process it on their server, you are technically sharing that document with a third party, which could potentially waive privilege in certain jurisdictions. By using a **secure browser-based PDF protector** like DocuStitch, the document stays on your machine during the encryption process, maintaining the "Chain of Custody."

How Our Secure Browser-Based PDF Merger Works

Client-Side Isolation

Traditional tools transmit files to remote servers. DocuStitch executes merging PDFs securely and locally within your browser's sandbox. Your data never touches a network cable.

Volatile Memory Processing

We leverage WebAssembly (WASM) to process files in your system's RAM. Files are instantly purged once the merge is complete, leaving zero digital footprints on your drive.

Pro Tip: When you need to encrypt your sensitive legal discovery files, use a private browser window to ensure no local cache persists after you finish your session.
