Protect Client Confidentiality.
Meet Your Ethical Obligations.
Law firms handle some of the most sensitive data in existence. We build security infrastructure that meets ABA security standards, keeps client communications private, and makes IT negligence a non-issue for your professional liability exposure.
Schedule Free Legal IT AssessmentABA Model Rule 1.6 requires attorneys to make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure of client information. Combined with Rule 1.1's competence obligation, attorneys who fail to implement reasonable security measures face bar discipline, malpractice exposure, and client liability. IT negligence is no longer a technical problem — it's a professional responsibility problem. We help you meet the standard.
The Threats Law Firms
Face That Others Don't
The ABA has made clear that technological competence is part of the Rule 1.1 duty of competence. Rule 1.6 requires reasonable security measures. Both create exposure when IT systems are inadequate — and that exposure follows the attorney, not just the firm.
Sophisticated adversaries — including state-sponsored actors in international matters — specifically target law firms to gain advance access to litigation strategy, settlement positions, and client communications. Phishing attacks impersonating opposing counsel, courts, or regulators are increasingly common.
IT failure at a critical deadline is not a technical problem — it's a malpractice exposure. Our monitoring and response SLAs are specifically designed to keep your firm operational when it matters most.
Attorneys working from home, courthouses, and client offices connect to uncontrolled networks with devices that may lack adequate protection. Every unsecured connection is a potential breach of client confidentiality.
