What you can count on

93% of tickets touched within 15 minutes. 100% of after-hours messages acknowledged the same business day. Every engagement staffed by a named senior engineer.

What we see in law firms & legal services

Pain you're probably already feeling.

Attorney-client privilege doesn’t survive a single misrouted email.

One shared drive permission left too loose, one mobile device lost in an Uber, one phishing click in the discovery phase — any of these turns a sealed matter into a disclosable one. The tooling to prevent it is standard; almost nobody actually has it deployed.

Your time-and-billing system is a ransomware target.

The fastest path from breach to leverage is the system that everyone in the firm opens daily. Threat actors know it; they target legal because the firm can’t afford to lose a single billable hour — and that knowledge shapes the ransom ask.

Partner-level IT requests get answered by a help-desk that can’t escalate.

Your managing partner shouldn’t have to ticket a password reset at 9pm before trial. A named engineer on your account should answer the phone. That’s not luxury — it’s how IT support was supposed to work.

What we install on day one.

Compliance, line by line

What each framework actually asks for — and what we do about it.

ABA Model Rule 1.6

What it requires

Duty of confidentiality — attorneys must make "reasonable efforts" to prevent inadvertent disclosure of client information.

How we help

Encrypted email with enforceable TLS + DLP on outbound; MFA + role-based access on case management; documented incident response for suspected exposure.

State Bar Technology Competence

What it requires

Most state bars now expect attorneys to understand the benefits and risks of the technology they use. California, NY, Florida have explicit requirements.

How we help

Quarterly technology briefings in plain English for your partners; documentation of controls you can cite if asked by a client or ethics board.

GDPR / PIPEDA (cross-border matters)

What it requires

Lawful basis for processing, data residency, subject access rights — applies whenever you touch EU or Canadian personal data.

How we help

Canadian data residency by default (PIPEDA compliant); EU-compliant workflows available; documented DPIA templates for new matters.

Score your risk. Price your downtime. No call required.

Two short diagnostics built by our senior engineers. Answer a handful of questions, get a scored report with next steps — yours to keep either way.

Questions we always get

Before the call.

Straight answers so the health-check call can skip the basics.

Do you understand legal holds and e-discovery retention?

Yes — our backup and archiving workflows include litigation-hold tags, immutable retention, and documented chain of custody. Your e-discovery vendor works with our setup, not against it.

What about client-specific security requirements in engagement letters?

We maintain a matrix of the security controls your largest clients typically demand (SOC 2, HIPAA-aligned workflow for health clients, PCI for fintech clients) and scope engagements accordingly. Most Fortune 500 legal departments’ outside-counsel guidelines read as a subset of what we already run.

Can you support our case management platform (Clio / MyCase / iManage / NetDocuments)?

Yes. We integrate with the vendor’s SSO, enforce MFA, configure retention + privilege metadata, and layer backup around the vendor’s own recovery SLA (which is usually thin).

How do you handle the privilege implications of your team seeing our data?

Our team members sign client-facing NDAs and confidentiality agreements that mirror ABA Rule 1.6 language. Access is least-privilege; we don’t browse your case data to provide IT support — we fix systems, not documents.

Can you help us get cyber insurance premiums down?

Yes. Most premium reductions trace to three controls: EDR, MFA, tested backups. We install all three by default and document them for your broker. Several clients have seen mid-six-figure premium drops.
