Cybersecurity for law firms
Protect client confidentiality with MFA, encrypted devices, secure file sharing, tested backups, and defenses against the email fraud that targets firms.
Law firms hold confidential client information and handle trust account transactions, which makes them attractive targets for phishing, ransomware, and payment fraud. A single compromised mailbox can expose privileged communications and give attackers what they need to redirect a settlement or closing payment.
We assess and strengthen the controls that protect a firm, including MFA on email and practice systems, encrypted laptops and phones, secure client file sharing, least-privilege access to matters, tested backups, and payment verification procedures. Every change is authorized in writing before it is made.
Things to keep in mind
- Trust account payments deserve two-person approval and phone verification of instructions.
- Departing attorneys and staff should lose access the day they leave.
- Incident plans should account for professional and legal notification obligations.
