Professional services
Security for firms that hold client data.
Law firms, consultancies, accounting firms, and advisors hold confidential client information and increasingly must prove they protect it. We provide the program, the testing, and the evidence, built on our work with UnitedLex and other professional services leaders.

Regulatory context
Your clients are asking. Your answer should be documented.
Professional services firms sit on privileged, financial, and personal data for every client they serve, and clients know it. Outside counsel guidelines, vendor risk programs, and cyber insurance applications all expect a documented security program, MFA, email protection, tested backups, and periodic testing.
The most common incident we see in this sector is business email compromise: an impersonated partner, a redirected payment, a compromised mailbox. Our managed program is built around preventing it.
