Overall Assessment
Joist AI demonstrates strong data security practices with SOC 2 and ISO 27001/02/17/18 certifications, Zero Data Retention agreements with LLM providers, and clear privacy policies limited to their marketing website. While lacking detailed terms of service for their software platform, their documented security commitments and enterprise-focused approach suggest a relatively low-risk profile for professional use in the AEC industry.

Good news — but governance doesn't stop at the terms of service.
A green rating means this tool's policies are user-favorable. That's a strong start. But safe tools can still be used unsafely. How your team prompts, what data they share, and how outputs are managed are equally important. Barbieri Technology Group helps professional services firms build the internal AI playbooks that turn good tools into great outcomes.
