| Neo Legal versus Discover SaaS | Public claim only | Nuix Neo for Legal and Nuix Discover are the eDiscovery products. Deploy-it-your-way states Nuix SaaS with continuous updates is currently only available with Nuix Neo Discover. Workstation, Investigate and Data Privacy are separate products. | Which SKU and deployment (Discover SaaS, Neo Legal on-prem, partner-hosted) will we buy, and which AI Review / BYO AI features are included? | [Nuix Neo for Legal](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-legal-ediscovery); [Nuix Discover](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-discover); [Deploy it your way](https://www.nuix.com/deploy-it-your-way) |
| SaaS, on-premises, hybrid, air-gap | Public claim only | Discover marketing: SaaS, on-premises or hybrid including air-gapped, described as one architecture. Deploy page: Nuix SaaS; customer private/public/hybrid cloud; on-premises; partner managed service or appliance. AI Review is described for Discover SaaS specifically on the what's-new page. | Will we run Discover SaaS, our own Azure/AWS tenancy, or on-premises, and which AI features work in each mode? | [Nuix Discover](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-discover); [Deploy it your way](https://www.nuix.com/deploy-it-your-way); [What's new in Nuix Neo](https://www.nuix.com/whats-new-in-nuix-neo) |
| AI Review, BYO AI and search | Public claim only | What's-new: AI Review on Discover SaaS applies preliminary coding, highlights issues and flags documents for human review, with relevancy scores, natural-language explanations and citations in the document. BYO AI integrates proprietary or third-party models, including local LLMs. Semantic Search and transcription are also listed. Neo Legal describes no-code customer-trained models. | Is AI Review available only on Discover SaaS for our licence, and which BYO models can we attach on-premises? | [What's new in Nuix Neo](https://www.nuix.com/whats-new-in-nuix-neo); [Nuix Neo for Legal](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-legal-ediscovery) |
| Australian company; SaaS region unnamed | Public claim only | Nuix Limited is ASX-listed with a Sydney address in the privacy notice for Australia/NZ/Asia customers. On-premises and air-gapped options can keep ESI in Australia. The SaaS hosting region for Discover was not published on the pages reviewed. | If we take Discover SaaS, which country stores and infers on our data? If on-premises, confirm AI Review/BYO AI never send ESI offshore. | [Nuix privacy policy](https://www.nuix.com/privacy-policy); [Nuix investor centre (ASX:NXL)](https://www.nuix.com/investors); [Deploy it your way](https://www.nuix.com/deploy-it-your-way) |
| Unpublished pricing | Not confirmed | A pricing URL exists but no unit prices, AI add-on fees or term were extracted from the public page. SaaS versus perpetual on-premises commercial models were not compared in writing. | Provide an itemised quote for our deployment, users, data volume, AI Review and BYO AI, including term and renewal. | [Nuix pricing](https://www.nuix.com/pricing) |
| BYO AI and developer program | Public claim only | BYO AI is the documented integration path for customer or third-party models, including local LLMs. A developer program and product documentation are linked. SSO/SCIM and Word/Outlook add-ins were not described on the pages reviewed. | Which identity (SAML/OIDC/SCIM) and DMS connectors are supported on our chosen deployment, and how is BYO AI authenticated? | [What's new in Nuix Neo](https://www.nuix.com/whats-new-in-nuix-neo); [Nuix Discover](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-discover) |

No public support SLA or security contact beyond privacy@nuix.com was found. | What are contractual support hours in AEST, severity targets, and the security-incident channel? | [Nuix Discover](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-discover); [Nuix privacy policy](https://www.nuix.com/privacy-policy) |
| No published AI Review benchmark | Not confirmed | AI Review is described as faster and more accurate identification of privileged and responsive materials, with citations. No independent or vendor study with method, sample size and rates was found. A 64% data-reduction average across 50,000 cases is claimed for Neo Legal advanced data reduction, which is not an AI-review accuracy figure. | Will you run AI Review on a de-identified sample of our documents against a gold standard, and publish error types after model changes? | [What's new in Nuix Neo](https://www.nuix.com/whats-new-in-nuix-neo); [Nuix Neo for Legal](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-legal-ediscovery) |

| No public subprocessor list | Not confirmed | No dated subprocessor schedule was found on nuix.com. SaaS Discover necessarily involves a cloud host and, for AI Review, a model provider. On-premises deployments may still use support or update channels. | Provide the current subprocessor list for our deployment, with countries, notice period and objection rights. | [Nuix Discover](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-discover) |
| Customer-trained models and SaaS genAI | Not confirmed | Neo Legal says customers can train and tune no-code models specific to their needs. BYO AI uses the customer's models. Whether Discover SaaS AI Review uses customer documents to train Nuix or a foundation-model provider is not stated on the pages reviewed. | Do you or any model provider train on our ESI, prompts or AI Review outputs in SaaS or BYO modes? Point to the signed clause. | [Nuix Neo for Legal](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-legal-ediscovery); [What's new in Nuix Neo](https://www.nuix.com/whats-new-in-nuix-neo) |
| Feedback and model tuning | Not confirmed | Customer tuning of no-code models is marketed.

| Vendor access to on-prem versus SaaS | Not confirmed | On-premises and air-gapped deployments reduce vendor access if support is not granted. SaaS and partner-managed options imply Nuix or partner access. No lockbox procedure was published. | When can Nuix or a partner open our cases, is access logged to us, and will you notify us of legal process? | [Deploy it your way](https://www.nuix.com/deploy-it-your-way) |
| SSO and audit trails claimed | Public claim only | Discover pages claim full audit trails and multi-jurisdictional production controls. SSO/MFA/SCIM details were not in the public security FAQ equivalent. Permission-aware AI Review was not demonstrated. | Demonstrate SSO, MFA, matter permissions on AI Review retrieval, and exportable audit logs for our deployment. | [Nuix Discover](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-discover) |

TLS/AES details, CMK and coverage of AI artefacts were not published on the Discover or deploy pages reviewed. | Confirm encryption in transit and at rest (algorithms, key management, CMK) for documents, AI prompts and backups in our deployment. | [Nuix Discover](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-discover) |
| ISO 27001 and SOC 2 claimed | Public claim only | Discover pages state ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certified, 99.9% uptime in SaaS and zero-downtime upgrades. Report dates, Type II versus Type I, scope (SaaS AI Review, BYO AI) and ISO 42001 were not inspected. No public trust portal was found. | Provide current SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 artefacts under NDA with Discover SaaS AI Review in scope. | [Nuix Discover](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-discover) |
| Product MSA not public | Not confirmed | Website terms of service and a website privacy notice are public. They do not appear to be the software MSA or DPA.

| Continuous SaaS updates | Public claim only | Deploy page: Nuix SaaS uses a continuous-improvement model so customers always have current technology (Discover SaaS). What's-new describes AI Review and BYO AI. No contractual model-change notice was found. | Will you notify us before changing the SaaS AI Review model or region, and can on-premises pin versions? | [Deploy it your way](https://www.nuix.com/deploy-it-your-way); [What's new in Nuix Neo](https://www.nuix.com/whats-new-in-nuix-neo) |
| Exit not documented publicly | Not confirmed | On-premises customers hold the data. SaaS export/deletion on termination was not found. A Canadian partner migration case study describes moving cases onto Discover SaaS, not off it. | On SaaS termination, how do we export natives, work product, AI outputs and logs, and when is remaining data deleted? | [Nuix Discover](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-discover); [Deploy it your way](https://www.nuix.com/deploy-it-your-way) |
| BYO AI as the main connector | Not confirmed | BYO AI attaches customer or third-party models, including local LLMs, into Nuix workflows. That is a connector that can send ESI to another processor unless the model is local. Collection/DMS connectors were not listed on the pages reviewed. | List every connector and BYO endpoint we would enable, what ESI they receive, and how we disable them. | [What's new in Nuix Neo](https://www.nuix.com/whats-new-in-nuix-neo) |
| Search over customer data | Public claim only | Semantic Search and AI Review are described as operating on case data in Nuix. Open-web search as a product feature was not found. BYO models might themselves browse the web if the customer so configures. | Confirm AI Review and Semantic Search cannot call the open web, and how BYO models are prevented from doing so. | [What's new in Nuix Neo](https://www.nuix.com/whats-new-in-nuix-neo); [Nuix Discover](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-discover) |
| AI Review writes preliminary codes | Not confirmed | AI Review applies preliminary coding decisions and flags documents for human review. Whether those codes can be published or produced without a person accepting them is not specified. BYO AI orchestration could take further actions depending on the attached model. | Can AI Review codes be applied to the database without a reviewer accepting each batch, and how do we disable AI Review and BYO AI immediately? | [What's new in Nuix Neo](https://www.nuix.com/whats-new-in-nuix-neo) |
| AI Review flags for human review | Public claim only | What's-new states AI Review flags documents for human review and provides relevancy scores, natural-language explanations and citations. Explainable AI is listed among Discover claims. No contractual duty to keep a human in the loop was found. | Can we require named sign-off before AI Review codes or summaries are produced, with an exportable verification record? | [What's new in Nuix Neo](https://www.nuix.com/whats-new-in-nuix-neo); [Nuix Discover](https://www.nuix.com/solutions/neo-discover) |

## Notes

Could not verify: Discover SaaS hosting country, foundation-model providers for AI Review, DPA/subprocessor list, encryption details, deletion/exit, SSO/SCIM, or a published AI accuracy study. Telstra/NAB/QBE appear as logos on the Data Privacy solution page, not necessarily as eDiscovery SaaS customers. BYO AI means model risk follows the customer's chosen model.
