IT challenges law firms face

Law firms hold some of the most sensitive information there is: litigation files, financial records, identity documents and privileged communications. That makes them a common target for phishing, wire-fraud and ransomware attacks. Lawyers also have professional duties to protect client confidentiality, and clients and insurers increasingly ask how their data is secured.

  • Phishing and fake payment instructions targeting real estate and trust transactions
  • Lost or stolen laptops and phones holding client files
  • Practice management, accounting and document systems that must be available every day
  • Cyber insurance questionnaires that require MFA, backups and endpoint protection
  • Staff and lawyers working securely from court, home and the office

Law firm IT: common questions

Can you help us answer cyber insurance questionnaires?

Yes. We put the required controls in place, such as MFA, endpoint protection, backups and training, and give you the documentation to answer insurer and client security questions accurately.

Do you support our legal software?

We support the computers, network, Microsoft 365 and security that your practice software depends on, and work with your software vendor when an issue is on their side.

We are a small firm. Is managed IT worth it?

For most small firms, yes. A fixed monthly plan costs far less than a full-time IT hire, and one security incident can cost much more than a year of support.
