Common Questions from Legal Leaders
Does a firm under 20 attorneys really need managed cybersecurity?
Yes. The duty of technology competence applies to firms of every size, and small firms are attacked more often than BigLaw because attackers assume weaker controls. The required controls are the same — only the scale is smaller.
What happens if a partner loses a laptop?
Report it and we remote-wipe the device immediately. Full-disk encryption keeps the data unreadable even if the drive is removed — and both the encryption status and the wipe are logged, which is exactly what your malpractice carrier will ask to see.
How do you handle file sharing with co-counsel and opposing counsel?
Encrypted share links with expiration dates, watermarking, and per-recipient access logging. Production sets go out under controls you can describe to the court.
