For AI contract review in regulated workflows, check the vendor’s SOC 2 report, ISO 27001 certificate, and HIPAA terms for the exact product you will use. Adobe Acrobat’s AI Assistant can summarize an agreement before you send it, and you can request a signature online with an audit trail.

Buying AI contract review for regulated documents is mostly a due diligence exercise. Vendors list certifications on trust pages, but each one covers a named product, a period, and a scope, and a certification is not the same as your own compliance. This article explains what to ask for, then compares what Adobe, Leah, and Evisort say on their own pages. The names change: Evisort now sits inside Workday and ContractPodAi is now Leah. It is general information, not legal or compliance advice, and certifications change, so confirm the current reports, request them under NDA where needed, and ask your legal or compliance team before you load regulated documents into any tool.

Service	Certifications its own pages list	Notes
Adobe Acrobat Sign	SOC 2 and HIPAA attestation; its compliance white paper cites SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001	Adobe says the customer remains responsible for compliance
Leah, formerly ContractPodAi	SOC 2 Type II	The page I read did not list ISO 27001 or HIPAA
Workday Contract Intelligence, powered by Evisort AI	SOC 2 Type II; ISO 27001 family; ISO/IEC 42001	Check which products each certificate covers

AI Contract Review Compliance Certifications: What Should Regulated Document Workflows Require?

Ask for the report, its scope, and the terms. A SOC 2 Type II report is an independent audit of controls over a period, and ISO 27001 is a standard for managing information security, so check that the product you will use is in scope and the dates are current. HIPAA is different: no certificate makes software compliant. Adobe’s help for another service says HIPAA Ready does not mean every use complies, and that organizations handling protected health information must complete a Business Associate Agreement first. Adobe’s trust center lists a SOC 2 and HIPAA attestation for Acrobat Sign, and its compliance list says the customer is ultimately responsible for ensuring compliance with legal obligations. Also ask whether your contract data trains models, how it is encrypted, and what audit trails exist.

ContractPodAi AI Contract Review: Which Compliance Certifications Does Leah List?

ContractPodAi is now called Leah, according to its homepage, which describes an agentic AI platform for contracting, legal, and procurement. The page says Leah is SOC 2 Type II certified and built for enterprise security, that customer contract data is never used to train models, that data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and that single tenant deployment is available. It also says every agent action is traceable with audit trails and role based access controls. The page I read does not mention ISO 27001 or HIPAA, so ask the vendor for current evidence if you need them.

Evisort Security and Compliance Certifications: Does It Hold SOC 2 and ISO 27001?

Evisort’s product now appears under Workday as Workday Contract Intelligence, powered by Evisort AI. Workday’s documentation says Contract Intelligence is SOC 2 Type II certified, runs regular penetration testing, and has a bug bounty program, and that its security program is based on ISO 27001 standards. Workday’s compliance page lists ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, and 27701 certifications and names Workday Contract Lifecycle Management, powered by Evisort AI, among in scope products, and a datasheet cites an accredited ISO/IEC 42001 certification for responsible AI. The pages I read did not mention HIPAA, so ask. Workday says it cannot process password protected files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does SOC 2 mean a vendor is HIPAA compliant?

No. SOC 2 is an audit of security related controls, and HIPAA compliance depends on your safeguards and agreements. Adobe’s trust center lists a separate attestation that combines SOC 2 with controls mapped to HIPAA Security Rule safeguards for Acrobat Sign, and Adobe says the customer remains responsible for ensuring compliance. Ask for a Business Associate Agreement if protected health information is involved.

Can AI contract review tools read password protected files?

Not always. Workday’s documentation says Contract Intelligence cannot process or bypass the security settings of password protected files, and gives a page limit for text heavy documents. Remove the password only if your policy allows it, and check file and page limits for any tool before you plan a batch review.

What should I ask an AI contract review vendor?

Ask which products and dates each certificate covers, whether you can see the SOC 2 report under NDA, whether it signs a Business Associate Agreement, how data is encrypted, whether your contracts train models, and how audit trails and access roles work. Then run a pilot with sample, non sensitive contracts before you load real regulated documents.
