Why Your Law Firm Needs
Cyber Security

Practice Areas May Require It

Law firms working with clients in regulated sectors such as medical (HIPAA), financial (PCI DSS, GBLA) or government must make efforts to understand the data security requirements and how it possibly can impact their client's data.

Target Rich Environment

Lawyers and law firms, through their role and client relationships, are accumulating highly sensitive client information.  This central repository of trade secrets, intellectual property, eDiscovery productions, attorney client privilege communication, personally identifiable information (PII) or medical data are prime targets for cyber criminals.

Legal Liability

Lawyers and firms can be held liable for data breaches that expose client information. Federal Rules of Civil Procedures (FRCP) 26(c)(7) - Protective Order - violations, as a result of a cyber incident, can have serious consequences for a law firm.

Technology Adoption

Technologies increases efficiencies.  At the same time, they introduces complexities that require lawyers to reasonably understand the impact how client data is stored and secured by such technologies.  Properly securing adopted technologies is a critical ethical obligation.

American Bar Association (ABA)
Takes Notice

Measuring and understanding how cyber security risks relate to business operations in a law firm setting is essential in today's business climate because a modern law firm may experience prolonged business disruptions, loss of confidential client data, and possible ethics violations in the event of a cyber incident.

 

Cyber threats against law firms are so advanced and prevalent that the American Bar Association took notice and updated several of their Ethics & Professional Conduct Rules and Opinions. 

 

Those changes address the need to make cyber risk mitigation efforts an active part of protecting legal and sensitive client documents.

 

Our fully-managed cyber risk mitigation service RESOLUTE can help align your firm with the American Bar Association rule changes and opinions.
