Ironclad IT security for law firms in Eastern PA and NJ — protecting attorney-client privilege, securing privileged communications, and ensuring no court deadline is ever missed because of a technology failure.
IT and cybersecurity risks specific to law firms in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
Attorney-client confidentiality: Pennsylvania Rule 1.6 requires lawyers to make reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, information relating to client representation.
Privileged communication interception: Ensuring email and file transfers cannot be intercepted or spoofed — a risk that basic email configurations do not adequately address.
Court deadline availability: Outages right before a filing deadline have disastrous legal and professional consequences that no backup plan can fully reverse.
Document management at scale: Organizing, indexing, and protecting massive volumes of case data securely, reliably, and with granular access controls.
