Cybersecurity for Law Firms
Protect client confidentiality and meet your ethical obligations. Law firms hold some of the most sensitive information in any industry, and attackers know it. We help law firms of all sizes implement practical security measures that protect clients and meet professional responsibilities.
Why Law Firm Security Matters
Client Confidentiality
Attorney-client privilege creates ethical and legal obligations to protect client information. A breach is a breach of trust and duty.
Ethical Obligations
Bar associations increasingly require lawyers to understand cybersecurity risks and take reasonable steps to protect client data.
Valuable Targets
Law firms hold sensitive client data across multiple matters, making them attractive targets for criminals and competitors.
Reputation at Stake
A security breach can destroy the trust that took years to build and drive clients to competitors.
Threats Law Firms Face
Business Email Compromise
Attackers impersonate attorneys or clients to redirect wire transfers or steal sensitive documents.
Ransomware
Encrypted files and systems can halt operations and expose client data if backups aren't adequate.
Phishing
Fake court notices, client communications, and vendor emails designed to steal credentials.
Insider Threats
Departing attorneys, disgruntled staff, or inadequate access controls can lead to data exposure.
