Attorney-client privilege is only as strong as the technology protecting it. If a hacker can read privileged emails, exfiltrate case files, or encrypt your entire document management system — privilege is lost and your firm faces malpractice exposure, bar complaints, and career-ending reputational damage.
Attorney-client privilege evaporates the moment an unauthorized third party gains access to protected communications. We implement layered technical controls that ensure only authorized individuals can access privileged data — and that every access is logged and auditable.
Restrict file and email access to assigned attorneys and staff — preventing cross-matter data exposure and ethical wall violations
Automatic classification of privileged documents with data loss prevention policies preventing accidental sharing or forwarding
Every file access, email read, and document download logged with timestamp and user identity — proving who accessed what and when
Technical barriers preventing information sharing between matter teams — enforced at the network, email, and file system level
Law firms are the #1 target for ransomware because criminals know privilege creates urgency to pay. We deploy layered defenses that prevent ransomware — and guarantee recovery without paying if it ever gets through.
SentinelOne EDR/XDR on every device — AI behavioral detection catches ransomware before encryption begins and automatically isolates the machine.
Autonomous response in msProofpoint blocks phishing, malicious attachments, and impersonation emails — the #1 ransomware delivery vector for law firms.
99.7% phishing block rateIf ransomware encrypts files, we restore from immutable backups that attackers cannot touch. Full recovery in under 4 hours. $0 ransom paid — ever.

Under 4 hrsUnencrypted email is the equivalent of sending privileged communications on a postcard. Any intercepted message could waive privilege, expose client strategy, or become a malpractice claim. We enforce encryption standards that meet ABA requirements and satisfy insurance carriers.
Enforced TLS 1.2+ on all email connections — rejecting unencrypted delivery attempts
Auto-enforcedDigital signatures and end-to-end encryption for high-sensitivity communications
AvailableOne-click encrypted email via Outlook with recipient portal for non-M365 recipients
ConfiguredEmails containing privileged content automatically encrypted based on sensitivity labels
Rule-basedClient portals are only as secure as their configuration. Default settings on Clio, MyCase, and SharePoint portals leave gaps that expose client documents. We harden every portal with proper authentication, encryption, and access controls.
MFA required for all client portal access. Password complexity enforced. Session timeouts configured to prevent abandoned sessions from being exploited.
Clients see only their matter documents. No cross-client visibility. Download permissions configurable per document. Watermarking available for sensitive files.
Every portal login, document view, and download logged and available for review. Unusual access patterns trigger automated alerts to your firm.
When a security incident hits a law firm, the response is not just technical — it involves ethics obligations, client notification requirements, bar reporting considerations, and malpractice insurance carrier coordination. Generic incident response plans do not account for any of this.
Isolate affected systems while preserving forensic evidence for potential litigation and insurance claims
Determine whether privileged communications or client data were accessed — and which matters are affected
Coordinate notification obligations under bar rules, state breach notification laws, and client engagement agreements
Interface with malpractice and cyber insurance carriers to ensure coverage and compliance with policy notification requirements
Close the vulnerability, restore systems, and implement additional controls to prevent recurrence
Our free law firm cybersecurity assessment evaluates your email encryption, access controls, endpoint security, and incident response readiness — and delivers a scored report showing where privilege is protected and where it is exposed.
