Legal · Case study

A Dallas litigation firm secured client confidentiality and stopped fighting its own document system.

Per-matter
access control, least privilege by default

The result

Encrypted
privileged email and stored documents
Deadline
continuity protected by tested backups

Background

The situation

A mid-size litigation firm ran on a sprawl of shared drives and inboxes, with no clear control over who could see which client's files and no defensible answer if a client asked. Deadlines meant downtime was never acceptable.

For a law firm, a confidentiality slip lands as a malpractice and reputation problem, well past the IT department.

What we did

The work

01

Consolidated documents into a governed system with least-privilege access scoped per matter and per client.

02

Locked down email with anti-impersonation and encryption for privileged communication.

03

Deployed MFA, endpoint protection, and managed detection so one compromised laptop stays contained.

04

Built tested backups and a continuity plan so a bad day never costs a filing deadline.

05

Documented an access and retention posture the firm can show clients and carriers.

“Our old setup couldn't tell us who could open what. Now access follows the matter, and I can answer a client's security question without flinching.”
