Legal
Confidentiality that is enforced, not just promised.
Legal practices hold privileged and confidential material whose disclosure is professionally and financially serious, and they work to deadlines that cannot be moved.
Corporate clients increasingly audit their outside counsel, and outside counsel guidelines now routinely specify technical controls in detail.
Sector pressures
Technology pressures in Legal
Privilege and confidentiality
Access to matters must be controlled and demonstrable, including internally.
Immovable deadlines
Filing dates mean downtime has direct consequences for clients.
Client security requirements
Outside counsel guidelines specify controls that must be implemented and evidenced.
Large document exchange
Discovery and transaction volumes exceed what email was designed to carry.
Where we usually start
Where we usually focus for Legal
Identity & Access Security
Multi-factor, conditional access and privileged account control.
Collaboration & File Services
File structure, sharing policy and collaboration tools that people can use.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Protected copies that are isolated, monitored and proven to restore.
Managed Cybersecurity
Layered protection across identity, endpoints, email, network and cloud.
IT Compliance
Implement, document and maintain the technical controls a framework expects.
Email & Phishing Protection
Filtering, sender authentication and mailbox compromise detection.
A practical consideration for Legal
Matter-level access control is often the gap. Firm-wide access to every document is convenient and difficult to defend when a client asks who could read their file.
