SecureDoc for Legal
A lawyer carries sensitive client data for multiple clients on their laptop to a client site, to the courthouse, to a class they teach at the local university and to their home office. It goes missing. What is the firm’s exposure? How can the firm ensure that interns, temps or other transient workers do not copy sensitive data from machines to which they may have access? Associates and clerks may be assigned to one case for a short time to address a deadline. How can the firm ensure seamless collaboration during the deadline crunch and then remove access to sensitive data when the staff have been reassigned elsewhere? Law firms by their very nature tend to deal in highly sensitive data in a mobile environment that can include multiple offices, courtrooms, client sites and more. As laptops and other mobile computing devices continue to insinuate themselves into the working lives of employees at law firms, the need to protect the data on those devices becomes paramount – both in terms of protecting client data as well as compliance with state and federal statutes (such as the United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP)). That’s where SecureDoc comes in.SecureDoc enables law firms to auditably protect client data and personal identifiable information (PII). With the ability to synchronize users, encryption keys, key files, and group files with Active Directory means that authorized users across the firm can access and share data (with variable access levels) with NO PASSWORDS REQUIRED, while keeping the sensitive data fully secure. The transparent deployment and ‘no-user-training-required’ capabilities of SecureDoc mean that client data can be protected without negative impacts on productivity (i.e. billable hours). For law firms, it is not enough to simply have encryption deployed – from a compliance and risk/exposure standpoint you must be able to PROVE that a lost laptop or USB thumb drive was encrypted. Audit trails and forensic support means that SecureDoc can help you prove encryption was implemented.
