Legal Industry

Protect Client Confidentiality.

Defend Your Firm.

Meet your ethical obligations and safeguard privileged information with IntegSec's vulnerability assessments and penetration testing for law firms.

Security Challenges Facing Law Firms

Law firms hold some of the most sensitive data in existence  merger details, litigation strategies, intellectual property, and personal client information making them prime targets.

High-Value Data Targets

Privileged communications, M&A details, trade secrets, and litigation strategies make law firms attractive to nation-state actors & corporate espionage groups.

Ethical Obligations

ABA Model Rules require competent technology use and reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure of client information.

Client Security Requirements

Corporate clients increasingly require outside counsel to demonstrate robust security controls and pass security assessments before sharing sensitive matters.

Business Email Compromise

Wire fraud, invoice manipulation, and email impersonation attacks target law firms handling financial transactions and trust accounts.

ABA & Regulatory Obligations

The American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct require attorneys to make reasonable efforts to safeguard client data. Multiple state bars have issued ethics opinions reinforcing the duty to implement cybersecurity measures, and malpractice insurers increasingly evaluate security posture.
