What breaks, and when

The document management system is the firm. It has to be fast, searchable, backed up and accessible from home and from court.

E-filing, e-discovery and client portals each bring their own security demands, and clients increasingly ask for proof, not promises.

Migrations to cloud document management can carry hidden costs, like paying to import an archive only to archive it back out.

Attorneys work from everywhere: home, court, a client's conference room. Each of those places is a security decision the firm has to make on purpose.

What we do differently

We serve small firms, specialized practices and large firms with a nationwide presence. We have worked out leaner migration paths using a document vendor's own tooling and saved a firm a wasteful import. We treat confidentiality as something you can demonstrate: access logs, retention, encryption, and a written program.

Attorneys and staff at the firms we support describe our team as efficient and caring in the same sentence, which is what a firm needs from the people who can see its files.

Compliance, insurance and audits

Professional responsibility rules require reasonable measures to protect client confidentiality, and state bars have made clear that reasonable now means encryption, access control and competence with the technology in use. Corporate clients send outside counsel guidelines with specific security requirements, and cyber insurers ask the same questions. We build to those requirements and keep the evidence so the firm can answer a client's security questionnaire without guessing.

Questions we get asked

Can you migrate our document management system to the cloud?

Yes, and we will look for the cheapest correct path first. Vendor import services are sometimes the right answer and sometimes an expensive detour.

A corporate client sent outside counsel security guidelines. Can we meet them?

Usually, and often you already do. We will go through them line by line and tell you what is already true and what needs work.
