Cadenora Bridge

Documents, decisions, and trust — bridged securely

Cadenora Bridge is purpose-built for the governed space between professional services firms and their external clients.

One platform, three planes

Bridge connects your internal workspace to your clients' portal — with the compliance layer in between.

Your firm

Workspace

Your firm manages documents, sets permissions, and organizes projects in a private workspace built for your industry.

  • Upload, version, and organize documents
  • Assign per-document visibility rules
  • Manage projects and client relationships
  • Full search across all internal documents
The governed middle

Bridge

Permissions, audit trails, messaging, and compliance controls — the governed layer that connects your firm to your clients.

  • Fine-grained permission enforcement
  • Immutable audit trail for every action
  • Structured, compliance-ready messaging
  • AAL2 authentication enforcement
Your clients

Portal

Clients view, download, search, and communicate — seeing only what you've explicitly shared with them.

  • Branded, professional experience
  • Search only their shared documents
  • Secure messaging back to your team
  • PWA — installs on any device

Everything your firm needs. Nothing you don't.

Six core capabilities that cover the full lifecycle of the firm-to-client relationship.

Feature 01

Document Management

Upload, organize, and version every document your clients will ever need. Categories are fully configurable per industry — from offering memorandums to lease agreements to engagement letters. Automatic processing via Temporal workflows handles extraction, indexing, and notification as soon as a document lands.

  • Version history with audit trail on every change
  • Industry-configurable categories (e.g. Tax, Pleadings, Lease, Construction)
  • Automatic processing pipeline — extract, index, notify

Structured Messaging

This is not email. Cadenora Bridge messaging is append-only, threaded, and compliance-ready. Every message is timestamped, attributed, and permanently recorded. Your clients communicate with you through a governed channel that your compliance officer can review — without forwarding chains or lost context.

  • Append-only — messages cannot be edited or deleted
  • Threaded by project — no inbox chaos
  • Announcements broadcast to all clients with read-receipt tracking

Thank you — I've downloaded the statement. One question about the line 14 disclosure.

Of course — that disclosure relates to the subsidiary entity formed in Q3. I'll upload the supporting memo shortly.

Feature 03

Fine-Grained Permissions

Control exactly who sees exactly what — at the document level, not just the folder level. Bridge enforces four visibility levels across every document in your workspace, and clients will only ever see what you've explicitly shared with them. No accidental disclosures. No catch-all folders.

INTERNAL_ONLY

Firm staff only. Never visible to any client.

ALL_INVESTORS

All clients on this tenant can view.

PROJECT_INVESTORS

Only clients in this specific project.

PRINCIPAL_ONLY

One named client — nobody else.

Feature 04

Full-Text Search

Search inside the actual content of PDFs, Word documents, and spreadsheets — not just filenames. Powered by Quickwit, a high-performance search engine built for document-heavy workloads. Your clients search only within documents you've shared with them. Your team searches across everything.

  • Indexes PDF, DOCX, XLSX — content inside the file, not just metadata
  • Permission-scoped — clients only see results from their shared documents
  • Filter by project, category, document type, and date range

Feature 05

Progressive Web App

Cadenora Bridge installs on any device — iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, macOS — directly from the browser. No App Store approval. No enterprise MDM enrolment. Your clients add it to their home screen once and it behaves like a native app. You maintain full control of updates without waiting for a review cycle.

  • Home screen install on iOS, Android, and desktop — no App Store
  • Push notifications for new documents and messages
  • Instant updates — no version lag between your firm and your clients

Feature 06

Industry Templates

Five industry configurations out of the box. When a tenant onboards, they select their industry and Bridge adapts — terminology changes (Investor vs. Resident vs. Client), document categories populate for that practice, and the visual theme shifts to match. No configuration required. No generic labels.

Industry Container Client
Financial Services Project Investor
Real Estate Dev. Development Investor
Property Mgmt. Property Resident
Legal Services Matter Client
General Project Client
Terminology adapts

Labels change across the entire platform — from "Investor" to "Resident" to "Client" — with no custom code.

Theme applies automatically

Five visual themes (Executive, Ember, Horizon, Corporate, Minimal) are applied at onboarding and align with your industry.

Categories pre-loaded

Default document categories (Tax, Lease, Pleadings, etc.) are seeded for your industry on day one.

Security at every layer

Five independent defensive layers. Regional data residency. Regulatory-ready audit trails. Your compliance officer will have answers — before they're asked.

L0
Plane Separation

Platform, workspace, and client portal run in distinct namespaces with separate auth scopes.

L1
URL + Session

Every request is scope-validated at the middleware layer before reaching application code.

L2
Application

tenantId validation, Zod schema enforcement, and write-access guards on every mutation.

L3
Database RLS

Row-level security via PostgreSQL set_config and composite primary keys per tenant.

L4
Storage

SeaweedFS object storage with tenantId path prefixes — cross-tenant reads are structurally impossible.

AAL2 Multi-Factor

TOTP step-up authentication required for 14 privileged actions. 5-minute token window.

7-Year Audit Retention

Every access, download, and change is logged with user, timestamp, and context. Immutable records.

Regional Data Residency

All data stored in Canada (Toronto region). No data crosses the border. PIPEDA-compliant by default. SOC 2 Type II on our roadmap.

PIPEDA + NI 31-103

Architected for Canadian privacy law and securities regulation from day one — not bolted on. GDPR data subject rights supported.

An honest comparison

Generic file-sharing tools and CRM portals were not built for the governed relationship between a regulated firm and its clients. Bridge was.
