Solo practitioners through mid-size firms. Designed around confidentiality, document retention, and the reality that a single breach is an existential issue for a firm's reputation. Voicemail-to-email transcripts that don't leak, encrypted backups that can't be ransomed, and physical security that actually protects the file room.
Voicemail-to-email transcripts encrypted at rest and in transit. Call recording for litigation departments (with proper consent and retention configuration). Direct inward dial (DID) numbers for every attorney so clients can reach them directly. Ring groups for paralegals and support staff.
Full-disk encryption on every device. MFA on email and document management. Role-based access β paralegals see paralegal files, partners see partner files. Audit logging on the document management system. Secure VPN for remote work. Dark web monitoring for credential exposure.
Email retention configured to your firm's policy (not just "default Microsoft"). Document management system backups separate from production data. Litigation hold capability built into M365. Forensic-quality logs that an opposing counsel's expert won't pick apart.
A firm hit by ransomware faces an impossible choice: pay (potentially funding criminals, possibly violating bar rules) or lose every client file. We use immutable Datto backups so neither option is on the table. Restore the files from a snapshot ransomware can't touch.
Access control on file storage rooms with auditable entry. Cameras at entries and high-value document areas. Multi-factor entry (badge + PIN) for sensitive client matter rooms.
Most legal work now happens partially over video β depositions, hearings, mediations, client meetings. A dropped Zoom call mid-deposition is professionally embarrassing and possibly billable-time-wasting. BigLeaf SD-WAN keeps you online when one circuit blips.
Common firm wedge: most mid-size CT firms have grown their IT organically β different attorneys on different systems, paralegals stitching things together manually, a backup setup that no one's tested in years. We do consolidation projects where everything moves under one stack with one support number. Not glamorous, but firms that do this stop losing time to IT friction.
NDA on request. No-pressure assessment. Real recommendations.
