Law firms are warehouses of confidential and private information. While many firms are taking effective steps to safeguard their confidential material and legal records, some aren’t.
Protecting your law firm from the risk and penalties of an information security breach means more than just protecting your clients’ documents. If you have financial reports, human resource forms, or payroll statements, your firm could be at risk of fines, lost revenue, and the loss of reputation should any of your confidential information or files get into the wrong hands.
