Data Security for Tri-State Law Firms

LeastTrust specializes in protecting both your client’s data and your valuable in-house data. Cybersecurity tools are not enough. Your law firm needs data protection governance, policy, and technology. We can help your firm identify, classify, protect, and track all of your client and in-house data. We leverage tools such as data classification, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), managed browser, external document tracking (steganography), access controls, and forensic logging.

Elite data protection culture does not happen overnight. Strong policies, employment agreements, handbooks, and recurring training are necessary elements that balance deterrent and detective controls. Continuous governance coupled with technology enforcement is the desired strategy to protect your firms data.

Is your data safe?

– Have you recently had an employee exit with proprietary data? Were reasonable protections in place to protect that data?

– Can confidential email and attachments be sent outside of your tracking abilities? How can you verify NDA compliance?

– When is the last time a firm-wide access review has been performed?

– Are you considering turning on Microsoft co-pilot? or another AI addition?

– Do you know where all confidential data resides in your digital landscape from regulated data (PII), client files, evidence, IP filings, and proprietary trade secrets (almost anything in scope)?

– Are some websites off-limits? What about downloads and uploads? Is any online SaaS not permitted?

The good news is that many of these elements including policies, procedures, and training overlap with your current cybersecurity controls.

SOC 2, NY DFS, Cyber Insurance? A data privacy program is a great foundation or augmentation to reach these compliance goals

SOC2 for Law Firms

SOC 2 compliance has become a gold standard for service organizations that handle customer data. It reassures customers and stakeholders that your organization has implemented robust controls to ensure data security, availability, and confidentiality.

SOC 2 is an audit process that ensures service providers manage data securely, safeguarding your organization and client privacy. For security-focused businesses, SOC 2 compliance is essential when choosing a SaaS provider. Created by the AICPA, SOC 2 sets standards for managing customer data based on five trust service principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
