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.

ABA Model Rule 1.6 Creates a Legal Security Obligation

ABA 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

ABA Model Rules 1.1 and 1.6 — Competence Obligations

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.

Opposing Counsel Phishing Attacks

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.

Court Filing Deadline Pressures

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.

Remote Attorney Security

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.

Security Infrastructure Built
for Legal Practice

Encrypted Email & Document Management

End-to-end encryption for client communications and matter documents. Meets ABA guidance on electronic communications and satisfies Rule 1.6 confidentiality requirements.

Secure Client Portal Setup

Encrypted client portals for document exchange that eliminate the need to send sensitive files via unprotected email. Audit logs for every access — essential for compliance documentation.

Multi-Factor Authentication

MFA for every access point — email, document management, remote access, cloud storage. The single most effective control against credential theft and unauthorized access.

Ransomware Protection & Zero-Tolerance Backup

Immutable, air-gapped backup strategy designed so that ransomware cannot encrypt your backups. Matter files, client communications, and billing records are protected and recoverable in hours — not days.

ABA-Compliant Cloud Storage Guidance

Not all cloud storage is appropriate for client matters. We implement and configure cloud solutions that meet ABA ethics opinion guidance on cloud computing — with the right controls, contracts, and documentation.

Remote Work Security for Traveling Attorneys

VPN, device management, and mobile security policies that protect attorneys working from courthouses, client sites, and home offices — without creating friction that slows down their practice.
