Built for teams who live in contracts

Review, draft, redline, sign, and store every contract in one secure AI platform.

ContractShield reads every clause against your risk posture, drafts new agreements on your paper, produces redlines as real Word tracked changes, routes the signature, and files the executed agreement where you can actually find it. Your team keeps the judgment calls — the repetitive work is handled.

How it works

From upload to signed, without the busywork

What actually happens when you drop a contract into ContractShield.

1

Upload & classify

Every clause is read against your risk posture — not a generic benchmark — in minutes, unattended.

2

Redline & negotiate

Accept, reject, or tune each suggestion in the browser, then send the counterparty a file they can open in Word.

3

Sign, store & track

Executed agreements land in an encrypted vault with obligations and renewal dates extracted — nothing auto-extends by accident.

Platform

Everything a contract needs, in one place

The workflows your team runs every day, brought together so the work stops bouncing between tools and inboxes.

AI-assisted contract review

Upload a contract and get a clause-by-clause risk read against your organization’s posture in seconds. Powered by Claude Opus 5 from Anthropic — a reasoning model that works through the whole agreement before it writes a word of analysis. Configurable risk thresholds mean the analysis reflects your standards, not a generic benchmark. Your reviewers start with the first pass done and can spend their time on the judgment calls.

Automated redlining

Generate a redlined .docx with real Word tracked changes, ready to send back to counterparties. Accept, reject, or tune suggestions in the browser editor.

Integrated Docusign e-signature

Send agreements for signature without leaving the workspace. Signer status, reminders, and completed copies flow back into the record automatically.

Secure contract storage

Every executed agreement lives in a searchable vault with extracted obligations, renewal dates, and a full audit trail — and nothing auto-extends by accident.

AI contract drafting — on your paper

Generate first-party contracts built from your risk posture, legal defaults, and approved clause language — then save the ones you love as reusable templates.

Built for the agreements you see every day

Plus SOWs, amendments, and subcontracts — reviewed against the same risk posture.

Security

Security you can show your CISO.

Contracts contain pricing, obligations, IP, and personal data. Every claim here maps to a control that actually exists — precisely worded, the way your security team will ask about it.

Read the full security overview

ContractShield is actively pursuing its own SOC 2 Type II attestation — we’ll publish the report the day the audit closes. Until then, we’d rather show you exactly what we’ve built than borrow a badge.

  • AES-256-GCM encryption at rest for uploaded contracts and sensitive fields — fail-closed: if encryption cannot complete, the file is rejected, never stored unprotected

  • TLS 1.2+ for all data in transit with HSTS enforced across the platform

  • Multi-factor authentication — emailed one-time codes or authenticator apps — with encrypted seeds and single-use, hashed backup codes

  • Audit logging mapped to SOC 2 Common Criteria (CC6.1, CC7.2) — actor, timestamp, action, record, and IP on every material event

  • Your contracts are never AI training data — content sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) is excluded from model training under API terms

  • SOC 2 Type II hosted infrastructure — DigitalOcean holds SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 certifications under AICPA attestation standards

  • Daily automated database backups with point-in-time recovery

  • Role-based access controls with multi-level approval workflows

  • Tenant isolation enforced on every query — with a single-tenant database option on Enterprise

Engineering receipts — what diligence teams ask about

Fail-closed encryption

File encryption errors abort the upload instead of falling back to plaintext. A contract is stored encrypted or not at all.

No public file paths

Uploaded documents are never served as static files. Every download passes through an authenticated, organization-scoped route.

Boot-time secrets guard

The server refuses to start in production with missing or placeholder signing and encryption keys — misconfiguration fails loudly, before traffic.

Signature-verified webhooks

Billing webhooks are cryptographically signature-verified and idempotent; unsigned events are refused in production.

Hardened session model

Passwords hashed with bcrypt (cost 12), short-lived access tokens with refresh rotation, and a separate constrained token during the MFA handshake.

AI spend governance

Every AI call is logged with token counts and cost, with per-organization spend caps and platform-level kill switches.

The cost of a manual contract process

Bad contract management is quietly expensive.

The damage rarely shows up as a single line item. It hides in slipped deals, missed renewals, rework, and high-value people doing low-value work.

Sound familiar?

  • Reviewers cannot quickly find previously approved contracts or clause language to reuse.
  • Customer, product, or vendor details get re-keyed into every new agreement.
  • Internal approvals route by forwarded email, with no record of who approved what.
  • You cannot search the full text of executed agreements — only filenames or metadata.
  • Renewal dates live in a spreadsheet someone has to remember to update.

Hours back, every week

  • ~30-second first pass

    AI clause analysis finishes while your reviewer still has the file open.

  • Redline already drafted

    Tracked-changes .docx generated automatically. Your team refines instead of drafting from scratch.

  • Workload visible

    Queue, aging, and reviewer workload in one dashboard. No more hunting for status.

ContractShield augments legal and contract teams, it does not replace them. Fewer hours on repetitive work — not fewer people doing skilled work.

FAQ

Common questions

The three we hear most. The full FAQ covers redlines, leases, roles, and more.

What is ContractShield?

ContractShield is an AI-powered contract platform that analyzes contracts clause-by-clause against your company's configured risk tolerance. It generates risk scores, suggests redlines with tracked changes, and produces ready-to-send response letters — turning days of legal review into minutes of oversight. It can also draft new first-party contracts on your paper from that same risk posture (see the AI Contract Drafting section below).

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every new workspace starts on a 30-day free trial — no credit card required. The trial workspace includes 2 contracts, 6 AI reviews, 2 AI contract drafts, and 1 user, which is enough to run ContractShield against real agreements your team is reviewing right now. Separately, paid plans purchased through checkout include a 14-day trial period before the first charge.

How is my data protected?

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest using AES-256. Uploaded contract files are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they touch disk, and the encryption is fail-closed: if encryption cannot complete, the upload is rejected rather than stored unprotected. Access is controlled via role-based permissions with full audit logging, and we do not train AI models on your contract data.
