Protect your intangible assets and reputation by preserving the integrity of your data and that of your clients.
Ensure the security of your IT infrastructure and work tools, and a competitive advantage for your firm while guaranteeing its reputation and brand image.
A law firm's IT security starts with the quality and performance of its equipment: computers, network equipment, etc. In addition to the comfort provided on a daily basis, high-performance hardware makes it possible to run up-to-date programs and applications. Up-to-date applications mean secure applications whose potential security breaches are regularly identified and corrected. In addition to security and performance, mobility is added, since current laptops offer performances that are well adapted to office work. It then becomes possible to organize teleworking in good working conditions with secure data.
Applications that are not maintained or updated represent major computer security breaches on the computers they operate on, on the network they are connected to, and on all other computers also connected to that same network. In addition to software, operating systems must also be kept up-to-date. Their life cycles are limited and once that cycle is complete, data security can no longer be guaranteed. While the latest operating systems and management software updates are now done automatically, many solutions require them to be updated manually. Doing this is too easily postponed because an update can take an undetermined amount of time and have uncertain consequences, thus delaying the security of its work tool and its data implementation.
Once your hardware is renewed and your applications updated, you need to focus on the data they store and process. For a long time, the information and documents contained in law firm files have been stored in servers on-site. While such devices provide a form of security and serenity (knowing your data is in your office), they are also extremely vulnerable: end of server warranty, power cuts, Internet failure, cyberattack, burglary, fires, water damage... All these events threaten the integrity and security of a law firm's data.
In recent years, the acceleration of Internet data transfer speeds has made it possible to decentralize its data hosting in data centers: the Cloud. Besides the fact that you no longer have to buy and maintain a server in your own office, hosting your data in the Cloud has other advantages:
