Phishing attacks targeting confidential client communications, ransomware targeting case files, and unauthorized access to privileged legal matter data. Law firms are high-value targets because of the sensitive, time-critical nature of the information they hold.

Yes. ABA Model Rule 1.6 requires attorneys to make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure of client information. Most state bar associations have adopted similar rules. A cybersecurity breach that exposes client data can result in disciplinary action, malpractice liability, and reputational damage.

It is not explicitly mandated by bar rules, but it is the recognized standard for 'reasonable' security measures under attorney competence and confidentiality obligations. We enforce MFA on all systems we manage, including your email and document management platforms.

Only if those devices are managed, encrypted, and governed by your firm's security policies. Accessing privileged client data on an unmanaged personal device creates confidentiality risk and potential ethics exposure. We configure secure remote access that protects both your clients and your firm.

Email encryption and proper configuration of your email security gateway are essential. We also ensure your domain has SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in place to prevent spoofing — a common attack vector used to impersonate attorneys in wire fraud schemes.

Yes, when properly configured. Cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 offer strong security controls — but only if those controls are turned on and maintained. We configure your environment to restrict external sharing, enforce encryption, and log all access to sensitive files.

Yes, with proper configuration. Guest access settings must be carefully controlled, and your retention and communication policies must align with your jurisdiction's record-keeping requirements. We set this up correctly from the start.

Retention requirements vary by jurisdiction and matter type, but most state bars require a minimum of 5–7 years for closed matter files. Your backup solution must support that retention window and be able to restore specific files on demand — not just full system restores.

With a clean, tested backup, recovery is possible — though disruptive. Without one, active case files, deadlines, and client communications could be permanently lost. We maintain encrypted, versioned backups specifically designed to recover individual files, not just entire systems.

Our access is limited to the infrastructure layer — servers, network, and endpoints. We do not access file contents as part of normal operations. When access is required for troubleshooting, it is logged, documented, and performed with the least privilege necessary.

Yes. We support integration and administration of common legal DMS platforms. If you use a specialized platform, we coordinate directly with the vendor to ensure your infrastructure supports it reliably and securely.

Depending on your firm type, you may be subject to FINRA, SEC Regulation S-P, FTC Safeguards Rule, or state-level financial privacy laws. All of these require documented cybersecurity programs, access controls, incident response plans, and in some cases third-party vendor oversight. We help you meet those obligations.

If you are a FINRA-regulated broker-dealer or registered investment advisor, yes. FINRA Rule 4511 and SEC Rule 17a-4 require that business-related electronic communications — including email and certain messaging platforms — be retained and retrievable for 3–6 years depending on the record type. We ensure your archiving solution meets those requirements.

Business Email Compromise (BEC) — where attackers impersonate executives or vendors to authorize fraudulent wire transfers. It is one of the highest-loss cybercrimes targeting financial services. We protect against this through email authentication, anti-impersonation controls, and staff awareness.

Yes, but only through a secured, managed connection. We provide encrypted remote access solutions that protect client financial data in transit and ensure that access is logged and auditable — which is required under most financial compliance frameworks.

Through role-based access controls, MFA, and regular access reviews. We configure your systems so each employee can access only what their role requires — and we audit that access on a defined schedule to catch permission drift before it becomes a liability.

Yes, with proper configuration. Microsoft offers compliance features including audit logging, eDiscovery, legal hold, and communication archiving that align with FINRA and SEC requirements. These features must be explicitly enabled and configured — they are not on by default.

Only if those platforms are configured to meet your archiving and supervision obligations. Not all collaboration tools are compliant out of the box. We evaluate and configure your communication platforms against your specific regulatory requirements.

Yes. FINRA, SEC, and the FTC Safeguards Rule all require business continuity and data recovery planning. Your backup solution must protect client financial records, support defined retention periods, and be tested regularly to confirm it works when needed.

That depends on your current backup and recovery configuration. We design your infrastructure with a defined Recovery Time Objective (RTO) — the maximum acceptable downtime — and test against it. For financial firms, minimizing downtime during trading hours is a business-critical requirement we plan around specifically.

We maintain records of all changes made to your infrastructure, access logs, and incident reports. We can provide documentation on request to support your compliance audits and regulatory examinations. We also alert you proactively when a system change could affect your compliance posture.

Yes. We work with FINRA-regulated and SEC-registered firms and understand the technical requirements behind Regulation S-P, the FTC Safeguards Rule, and FINRA's cybersecurity guidance. We translate those requirements into specific IT controls and configurations.

Logistics firms handle high-value shipment data, financial transactions, and supply chain information that attackers can exploit for fraud, theft, or ransom. Disrupting a logistics operation — even briefly — can cascade across an entire supply chain, making downtime extremely costly and ransomware demands more likely to be paid.

Through a combination of Mobile Device Management (MDM), enforced MFA, and secure access policies. We ensure that staff connecting to dispatch systems, TMS platforms, or customer portals from personal or mobile devices do so through managed, secured connections — not open or uncontrolled access.

For a logistics company, ransomware can freeze dispatch systems, lock access to route data, disable customer portals, and halt billing — all simultaneously. Recovery without a tested backup can take days to weeks. We design your backup and recovery strategy specifically around operational continuity, not just data recovery.

We provide remote monitoring and support for all managed endpoints regardless of location. Whether staff are at a terminal, on the road, or working from a regional office, we can diagnose and resolve most issues remotely — and escalate to onsite support when needed.

Call us immediately — this is a Priority 1 incident. Dispatch system outages are treated as full business outages. We triage the issue, isolate the cause, and work to restore operations as quickly as possible while keeping your leadership informed throughout.

Yes. Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and email are well-suited for logistics coordination when properly configured. We set up your environment so internal teams can collaborate efficiently while customer-facing communications remain professional, secure, and separate from internal operations.

We manage the infrastructure and connectivity layer that your TMS depends on — endpoints, network, internet reliability, and authentication. For application-level issues within the TMS itself, we coordinate directly with your TMS vendor and serve as the bridge between their support team and your environment.

At minimum: your dispatch and routing data, customer records, billing and invoicing data, compliance documentation (ELD records, BOLs, driver files), and any internal communication records. We inventory your critical data sources and ensure all of them are covered by your backup policy.

That depends on your current recovery configuration. We design your backup strategy around a defined Recovery Time Objective (RTO) that accounts for your busiest periods. Peak season is exactly when you cannot afford to find out your backups don't work — which is why we test them before you need them.

Yes. We manage multi-site environments and can standardize your IT infrastructure across terminals, warehouses, and regional offices — ensuring consistent security, monitoring, and support regardless of location.

Yes. We work with logistics firms that operate under FMCSA requirements, use ELD devices, and depend on TMS and fleet management platforms. We understand how your technology stack supports your operations and compliance obligations — and we manage it accordingly.
