Legal and law firms

Keep case files private and the office running.

Law firms hold privileged files and move money through trust accounts, so they get targeted. More and more corporate clients also send security questionnaires before they hire a firm.

We secure your documents, email and devices, keep lawyers connected from court or home, and help you answer those questionnaires with evidence instead of guesswork.

What's included

  1. Endpoint protection and device control

    Advanced EDR and antivirus on lawyers' laptops and desktops against malware and ransomware.

  2. Document security and email protection

    Layered email security against spoofing, phishing and malicious attachments, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC.

  3. Case file backup and recovery

    Encrypted cloud backups of client files, shared drives and legal software, with restore testing.

  4. Secure remote access for lawyers

    VPN, MDM and conditional access for working from court, home or abroad.

  5. User awareness training

    Phishing simulations and short refreshers for partners, associates and staff.

  6. Support for legal tools

    Help desk for Clio, Amicus Attorney, PCLaw and Microsoft 365.

Why cybersecurity matters for law firms

Confidentiality isn't optional. A single breach could compromise privilege, damage your reputation or create malpractice exposure. Corporate clients increasingly require security due diligence and vendor risk assessments, and you can't afford to lose access to case files or calendars during an outage.
