[Case Study] Boston Law Firm

To hackers and criminals, law firms are lucrative targets for stealing valuable information like intellectual property (IP), merger and acquisition details, personally identifiable information (PII), and confidential attorney-client-privileged data. Failing to keep this data secure is more than just a major risk for the firm—it can also have incredibly negative consequences for their clients. As such, robust network security is not only an ethical requirement but also, legal firms must comply with a range of regulatory requirements spanning local, national, and international levels of supervision.

Our customer, a Boston-based boutique law firm managing some of the biggest financial corporations in the country, needed to create a durable security infrastructure and ongoing strategy to meet these ethical and professional security requirements—without adding the responsibility to their own IT team.

CHALLENGES

When searching for a security partner, the goals were to find a company that would:

• deploy a defense-in-depth strategy— using multiple levels of security solutions.

• have a deep understanding of complex and fluctuating compliance requirements.

• actively monitor for signs of a security incident.

• put an incident response plan in place.
