Introducing Slash, the blazing fast, outrageously secure, and full-featured law practice management/CRM system and productivity suite. Drastically increase your ability to get things done, "slash" inefficiencies, and save massive amounts of time by automating the most time-intensive and tedious parts of your work. With all of your organization's knowledge and files at your fingertips instantly and securely, you and your team will crush problems and focus on doing actual legal work instead of slogging through the ever-increasing burden of admin. You'll even come up with new, better ways of doing things that are enabled by this advanced cross-platform technology. Most importantly, you own your system (and you only pay for updates/support) after an on-prem purchase, making cloud-based subscription fees and limited storage a thing of the past. Or, use our Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) option on our dedicated 10 gig connection in a national datacenter.

Intended for law firms, but can also be adapted for other users on a module-by-module basis upon request, such as medical practices, public agencies, and other institutions where advanced knowledge management tools are appreciated. Customers with these needs are advised to review the on-prem options and email an inquiry or RFP.

Optionally runs on PitBull, a defense-grade trusted operating system from General Dynamics Mission Systems that has multilevel security (MLS) and numerous other security features, or on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Technology

Slash relies on internal web application programming to implement the above features. Of particular note is the database accelerator, which relies on the concept of creating "shards" of information pulled from the database at regular intervals and written to HTML component files. The server assembles these components into web pages without necessarily accessing the database, improving performance by approximately 2,000 percent over a pure database-driven system (20 times faster). When used on a fast connection or on-prem, the result is simply amazing performance where the user is never kept waiting.

PitBull Features

(full list)

• MTR-10649 MITRE LabelEncodings for classifications and sensitivity labels. Specify classifications from public up to work product, and everything in between. Create compartments for any information in any combination, assign files and folders to compartments, and assign users access to particular compartments in any combination. Directories can range from any classification to any other classification according to user requirements and specified combination constraints. In other words, highly granular access control.
• Identification and Authentication (IAA). Users are identified and authenticated before they can perform any action on the system.
• Authorizations. Users are assigned roles in an enforced authorization database that determines what actions users may perform on the system.
• Discretionary Access Control (DAC). Users perform actions on objects according to their authorizations.
• System Architecture (Least Privilege). Under the principle of least privilege, every user (including system users) receives just enough permissions to execute their required functions.
• Security Testing. PitBull exceeds EAL 4+ Common Criteria requirements and is actively used in the U.S. government and allied governments every day.
• Auditing. Extensive audit logs record operations on the system and all commands, as well as privilege escalations and other security events.
• Printout Labeling. Optionally label information at its assigned classification level (e.g. Work Product) and specify releasability (internal/client/opposing counsel/public/etc.) when printing documents or generating PDFs.
• Mandatory Access Control (MAC). At the kernel level, the operating system denies actions that are not within the user's authorization and privileges.
• Sensitivity Labels. Compartments in any combination and ranged directories ensure that information is appropriately restricted on the system, including between shell users-- even if they are in the same group. Far more compartments and granularity than standard RHEL/SELinux.
• Device Labeling. Label information from internal or external devices as being ingested at a particular classification level or in a particular compartment.
• Configuration Management. PitBull uses the concept of the Information System Security Officer (ISSO), who is the super-admin. There is no root access as such.
