Privilege is the product. Protect it like one.
Corporate clients now send outside counsel guidelines with security requirements and expect evidence. Attackers target firms because the material is valuable and the defenses are often thin. We assure the firm against what clients require, secure the way attorneys actually work, and prepare for the incident that would put a matter at risk.
At stake
What can go wrong.
- An outside counsel guidelines questionnaire the firm cannot answer accurately.
- Attorneys working from anywhere on devices and connections nobody controls.
- Privileged material in email, shared drives and personal cloud accounts with no classification or access rules.
- A business email compromise that redirects a settlement or exposes a matter.
- An incident during a trial or transaction with no plan for preserving evidence or notifying the client.
What we do
The capabilities applied.
- Security posture reviews the firm as a client’s security team would see it
- Security evidence preparation outside counsel guidelines answered with evidence
- Secure remote access attorneys working anywhere, safely
- Data classification and access governance privileged material governed by matter
- MFA and phishing-resistant authentication planning the control that stops most compromises
- Evidence preservation workflows an incident handled without compromising the matter
Evidence
What you can show.
- Posture review with findings graded by client requirement and consequence.
- Evidence pack mapped to the outside counsel guidelines the firm receives.
- Access and device control records for the attorney workforce.
- Incident procedures with evidence preservation and client notification steps.
- Foundation plan for a specialist firm with a strong reputation and a weak website.
- Authority plan for a multi-practice or multi-office firm that wants to be the cited source in its practice areas.
- Dominance plan where paid search spend is heavy and attorney-signed authority should be replacing it.
Questions
Asked before engaging.
Do corporate clients really audit law firms?|Increasingly, yes, through guidelines, questionnaires and sometimes assessments. Firms that can answer with evidence keep the client.
undefined
Can security work around how attorneys actually work?|It has to. Controls that attorneys bypass are not controls. Access and device measures are designed around real practice.
undefined
What about our managed IT provider?|Their work is reviewed and their evidence requested. Gaps are frequently in what nobody asked them to do.
