For · General Counsel

Know before the regulator does.

General Counsel needs to know about legal risk before it becomes an incident. Shield surfaces risk at the drafting stage — before an email is sent, before it becomes evidence. That window is the only one that matters in an investigation.

Why manual review fails
5%Typical estimated max email coverage in manual compliance programmes — the vast majority of communications are never reviewed.
100%Coverage with Clawscan Guard — every email in scope, scanned automatically, every day.

A compliance programme that cannot demonstrate what it caught provides limited protection when a regulator asks.

EU competition enforcement principle
The General Counsel's reality

What Clawscan solves.

  • 01

    You learn about risk when it's already evidence

    By the time a compliance incident reaches you, the email has been sent, received, and potentially forwarded. The window to intervene has closed. Shield moves that window to before the send.

  • 02

    Your compliance programme is a policy document, not an operating system

    You have a code of conduct, a competition law policy, an anti-corruption framework. What you don't have is evidence that any of it was enforced day-to-day. Guard provides you that evidence.

  • 03

    You can't prove what didn't happen

    Demonstrating to a regulator that your organisation operated within the rules requires more than a policy. It requires a documented, timestamped record of active oversight. Clawscan is that record.

Not just a flag

An explanation your legal team can act on.

Every flag includes a written justification in plain language and the exact passage that triggered it. Not a black box — a defensible, audit-ready verdict.

    Price coordination — Article 101 TFEU exposure

    Language implies pre-tender pricing alignment with a direct competitor. This constitutes a per se cartel offence under EU competition law regardless of whether prices were actually aligned. Escalate to legal counsel before any reply.

    align our pricing approach before the tender closes… neither of us needs to compete on margin

  • warning

    Off-contract arrangement — concealment signal

    Reference to preferential terms explicitly excluded from the formal contract, combined with a request for secrecy, may indicate an attempt to hide a side agreement. Review for anti-corruption and conflict of interest exposure.

    keep this between us for now… formalise separately once the award is confirmed

    Data Privacy — no concern detected

    GDPR reference is procedural only — documentation sharing is standard practice and does not indicate a data breach, unlawful processing, or consent failure. No personal data is shared in this communication.

What you can do with it

Workflows that change your programme.

  • Regulatory readiness — before an inquiry arrives

    Guard builds a continuous, timestamped audit trail across every email in scope. If a regulator requests evidence of your compliance programme, it's already documented — not assembled retrospectively.

  • Pre-send risk interception for high-risk functions

    Shield alerts your sales, procurement, and business development teams - whichever you decide to add in scope - in real time during drafting at the moment legal risk is being created, before it becomes your problem to manage.

  • Documented evidence of a functioning programme

    Every scan result — classification & justification — is stored and searchable. When a board, investor, or regulator asks whether your compliance programme worked, you have a verifiable answer.

  • Early privilege assessment on flagged communications

    Flagged emails surface with the exact passage and legal domain classification. Your legal team can assess privilege and escalation needs before the chain develops further.

Questions we hear before deployment

Common objections.

What's the legal basis for scanning employee email?
This varies by jurisdiction and requires a formal legal basis assessment — legitimate interest, contractual necessity, or legal obligation depending on your regime. Clawscan provides a DPIA template, scoping documentation, and privacy filtering tools to support that process. Your counsel determines the basis; we provide the compliance infrastructure.
Does this create disclosure obligations in litigation?
Scan results — classification and justification — are stored on GOlegal's Dataverse. Raw email content stays in your Exchange environment and never crosses the tenant boundary. Your disclosure obligations are unchanged; what Clawscan produces is a compliance record, not a litigation hold.
Can we scope this to specific functions without covering everyone?
Yes. A single Entra ID security group controls the coverage scope for both Shield and Guard. You define who is covered — by department, role, or any Entra attribute.
