Legal Cybersecurity

Privilege doesn't protect a leaked drive.
Test what an attacker can actually reach.

Small and mid-size firms hold the same sensitive data as the AmLaw 100 - with a fraction of the controls. We give partners a clear, evidence-based picture of what an attacker can actually do, then help you close it. Under written authorization, every time.

What we actually see

The threats hitting legal right now

Patterns drawn from current engagements and industry incident reporting (CISA, IC3, Verizon DBIR 2025). We don't test against generic checklists - we test against the attacks your peers are actually getting hit with.

BEC + wire-fraud against trust accounts

IOLTA and escrow accounts are high-value targets. We test mailbox controls, vendor-impersonation paths, and the human approval chain.

Document-management exposure

iManage, NetDocuments, and shared drives are full of privileged material. We test access-control assumptions, not just configurations.

Remote partners + personal devices

Hybrid work multiplied the attack surface. We assess VPN, SSO, conditional access, and the gap between "policy" and "deployed."

Ransomware = practice shutdown

A 72-hour outage during trial prep is a malpractice risk, not just an IT problem. We model real ransomware paths and validate recovery assumptions.

ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) - reasonable efforts

ABA Formal Opinion 477R and Rule 1.6(c) require reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure of client information. "Reasonable" increasingly means independent technical testing, not just an MSP checkbox. We document exactly that.

Legal FAQ

How do you handle privileged material during testing?
We do not exfiltrate or read privileged content. We prove access through file-listing, hash, or metadata evidence - not by removing documents from your environment.
Is this disclosable to clients or insurers?
That is your call, in consultation with counsel. Many firms share a redacted summary with cyber insurers and key clients as a trust signal; we structure reports to make that easy.
Can you work with our existing IT vendor?
Yes. We coordinate with your IT or MSP throughout. BlackboxEDR is MSP-friendly and coexists with Microsoft Defender, so we add coverage without forcing a tooling change.
