Cybersecurity Services for Law Firms
Protect privileged client information, your firm's reputation and your ability to practice, with security designed for the legal industry.
Why law firms are targets
Why Law Firms Are Targets, and How We Protect Yours
Law firms hold exactly what cybercriminals want: confidential client communications, financial records, case strategy and personal information. A single phishing email or ransomware attack can lock attorneys out of their files, delay matters and lead to difficult conversations with clients.
Attorneys also have a professional duty to safeguard client information. ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) calls for reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of client information, and Comment 8 to Rule 1.1 asks lawyers to keep up with the benefits and risks of relevant technology. Our cybersecurity services help your firm put reasonable safeguards in place and document them.
Because we work only with law firms, our security recommendations fit how legal teams work, protecting client data without slowing attorneys down. Cybersecurity is also built into our managed IT services for law firms.
