AI for confidentiality-bound firms

Nothing crosses this line. Not one file.

Simplepage AI is the AI practice of Simplepage Limited, an Isle of Man software company, working with confidentiality-bound firms. Your people are already using AI. The only real question is where your client information stops. We draw that boundary, prove where it is broken today, and build the thing that makes it hold - on your premises, on the island, in person.

02 - What crosses it today

It is already being crossed.

Nobody asked for permission. A senior associate had forty minutes and a sixty-page agreement, so the agreement went into a chatbot. It worked. It will happen again on Monday, and you will not be told. Each of these has left a building like yours.

  • A sixty-page shareholders' agreement, pasted in for a plain-English summary. ← retention terms unread
  • A client's full name, date of birth and source of wealth, inside a prompt asking for a risk narrative. ← jurisdiction unknown
  • Board minutes, uploaded to draft the action list before Friday. ← no audit trail
  • A schedule of beneficiary distributions, to "just check the maths". ← personal account, personal laptop
  • The counterparty's name in a deal that has not been announced. ← no way to recall it
  • A suspicious activity report, rewritten for tone. Unredacted. ← not reportable until it is

None of this is malice. All of it is unrecorded. Banning it moves it onto phones - the line does not disappear, it just stops being yours to draw.

03 - The line, named

One boundary. Drawn once. Visible to everyone.

The work can come from anywhere. The information cannot. That is the whole principle, and most firms have never once written it down.

Outside - general

Statute, guidance, drafting ability, published data. It arrives at your building. It learns nothing from you.

Inside - yours

Client files, matter history, correspondence, the judgement of your people. It stays on hardware you own, under access rules you set.

04 - What we do

Find the breaks. Then make the line real.

01 / Two weeks / fixed price

The audit.

Two weeks. We sit with your teams and map how the work actually gets done - not how the manual says it does. We find where AI would save real hours, and we mark, precisely, every place confidential information is already crossing the line. You keep the prioritised plan whether or not you ever buy anything else from us.

02 / The flagship / on your premises

The Simple AI vault.

A confidential AI appliance that lives in your building. Your entire business knowledge, indexed and access-controlled per person, consumable by the tools your staff already trust - with the data never once leaving the premises. One way in. One way out. Both of them yours.

Priced on scope Inside the vault
  • A. Hardware you own, in a room you control.
  • B. Per-person, per-matter access - the same rules as your file room.
  • C. Every prompt and every answer logged, and exportable.
  • D. Works with the tools you already pay for, not instead of them.

05 - Inside / outside

What stays. What genuinely doesn't need to.

Confidentiality work fails when it is absolute, because absolute rules get quietly ignored. So here is the honest split - the things that must never leave your premises, and the things that were never yours to protect in the first place.

Outside the line

Doesn't need to be inside

  • Public statute, guidance and case law
  • The model's ability to write a clean sentence
  • Published market and company data
  • Signed, checked software updates
  • Us - we work to your access rules too
Inside the line

Stays on your premises

  • Client files, matter history, correspondence
  • The index the AI reads from
  • Every prompt and every answer, logged
  • Access control, per person and per matter
  • The audit trail your regulator will ask for

And where a tool you already pay for will do the job without crossing the line, we will say so, in writing, and we will not sell you a vault you don't need.

06 - How it works

Four marks along the line.

01 - Assess

Assess

Two weeks, fixed price. Interviews, a look at the real workflows, and a written map of where hours are lost and where information is leaving. You keep the plan regardless.

02 - Adopt

Adopt

The safe wins first, on licences you already hold where they will do the job. Written rules your staff can actually follow, because they were built around how they already work.

03 - Expand

Expand

The vault goes in. Your knowledge indexed, access-controlled per person, and connected to the tools your teams already trust - with nothing crossing the boundary.

04 - Run

Run

We stay. A fractional in-house AI function on retainer - monthly, on the island, in your office, with a named person who answers the phone.

07 - Why us

Four things that stop at the line and don't cross it.

  • i.

    On the island, in person

    We come to your office in Douglas. Not a portal, not a ticket queue - a person who has stood in the room where the work happens.

  • ii.

    Confidentiality first, not as an add-on

    We start from the obligation you are already under and design backwards from it. Every recommendation states plainly what leaves the building, if anything does.

  • iii.

    Genuinely tool-agnostic

    If the licence on your desk already does it, we will tell you that and charge you for the two weeks, not the appliance.

  • iv.

    We build AI, we don't just talk about it

    We ship our own AI products. Everything we recommend has been run by us, at our own risk, before it is ever run at yours.

09 - Next

Draw it before somebody else does.

Thirty minutes, no charge, no deck. Tell us how your team works and what keeps you awake about it. If the honest answer is that you don't need us yet, that is what you will hear.

Common questions

What is Simplepage AI?

Simplepage AI is the AI consultancy practice of Simplepage Limited, a three-person Isle of Man software company run by Simon, William and Sharon Steed from Gordon House on Prospect Hill in Douglas. It exists for confidentiality-bound firms - fiduciary, legal, finance, eGaming and professional services - where the obstacle to using AI has never been the technology but the client information the technology must never see. The practice does three things: a fixed-scope AI readiness and confidentiality audit, ongoing AI help that works like an outsourced in-house AI team, and the Simple AI vault, a confidential AI appliance installed on your own premises so client data never leaves your control. As of 2026, the parent company also ships its own production AI software, which means every recommendation made to a client has already been tested on our own work, at our own risk, before it is ever proposed for yours.

How does AI work for firms that cannot share client data?

Confidential AI involves drawing one boundary and engineering everything around it: the work can come from anywhere, the information cannot. General ability - drafting, summarising, checking - arrives at your building, while client files, matter history and correspondence stay on hardware you own, under access rules you set. In practice that means using off-the-shelf tools only for material that is genuinely public, and running anything sensitive through an on-premises setup such as the Simple AI vault, where every prompt and every answer is logged and exportable. According to Isle of Man data-protection legislation, which is GDPR-aligned, firms remain responsible for personal data wherever it travels, so the safest architecture is one in which it does not travel at all. The boundary is written down, visible to everyone, and enforced by the room the hardware sits in rather than by a policy nobody reads.

What is the Simple AI vault?

The Simple AI vault is a confidential AI appliance that lives in your building and answers from your own knowledge without any of it leaving the premises. Your files, matter history and correspondence are indexed on hardware you own, in a room you control, with access managed per person and per matter - the same rules as your file room. Staff keep using the tools they already trust; the vault supplies the answers while the underlying documents stay put. Every prompt and every answer is logged and exportable, which produces the audit trail your regulator will ask for. The vault is priced on scope after the audit, because the right size depends on how much knowledge you hold and how many people need access. Where a licence you already pay for will do the job without crossing the line, we say so in writing instead of selling you an appliance you do not need.

How much does Simplepage AI cost?

According to the pricing published on this page, the AI readiness and confidentiality audit starts at £1,450, fixed, for around two weeks of work, and the ongoing AI partner retainer starts at £650 per month, cancellable with notice and with no lock-in. The Simple AI vault is priced on scope after the audit, because its size depends on how much knowledge your firm holds. An adoption sprint - building the highest-value automations from your audit plan and training your team on them - starts at £3,500 per engagement. Every figure is a starting point: it is confirmed in writing on the call before anything begins, and it moves with the size of your firm and the scope of the work. Nothing is invoiced before the number has been agreed.

Who is behind Simplepage AI?

Simplepage Limited is the Isle of Man software company behind Simplepage AI: three people - Simon, William and Sharon Steed - registered in Douglas and working from the island, in person. The same team designs, builds and runs its own production AI software, including Eddi, an AI content management product for Umbraco. Data from our project history shows what that practice looks like at speed: Sumlo, a timesheet-to-report product, was built in three days, and Patch was shipped in three weeks, with Claude Code-assisted development used on every project. That history matters for one reason - everything recommended to a client has already been run by us, at our own risk, before it is run at yours. In 2026 the practice remains deliberately small, senior and local: the person who audits your firm is the same person who answers the phone.
