Use Cases:Simplifying Cybersecurity & Compliance for MSPs Serving Law Firms

Overview

Law firms handle vast amounts of highly sensitive data, from confidential client information to intellectual property, contracts, financial records, and case strategies. In the legal sector, protecting that data is not just a best practice; it’s an ethical and professional obligation under regulations like the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and state bar cybersecurity requirements.

Law Concerns

These concerns are also practical:

Compliance and security risks are growing.

The sad but hard truth? Cybercriminals increasingly target law firms in their pursuit of valuable data. Many must also meet frameworks like HIPAA (when handling protected health information), GDPR (for international clients), as well as state-specific privacy laws.

Manual compliance processes, ad-hoc training, and limited visibility into risk make it challenging for MSPs to deliver the consistent, scalable protection that law firms need.

The result? Increased breach risk, reduced client trust, and lost billable hours spent on cybersecurity firefighting.

The Challenge

MSPs serving law firms face myriad common obstacles.

1
Manual Risk Assessments:Traditional gap analyses and compliance mapping can take 80+ hours per client, consuming valuable time and increasing costs.
2
Diverse Compliance Obligations:Law firms may be subject to ABA, state bar, HIPAA, GDPR, and client-imposed security requirements. All with different controls and documentation needs.
3
High-Value Targeting:Cybercriminals see law firms as “soft targets” with valuable data; phishing and credential theft are especially common.
4
Policy Management Complexity:Drafting, customizing, and tracking completion of security policies across attorneys, paralegals, and admin staff is labor-intensive.
5
Human Error Risk:A single misplaced email or clicked phishing link can result in data loss, regulatory penalties, and malpractice exposure.
6
Client Trust Expectations:Legal clients expect complete confidentiality and transparent proof of security measures at all times.
7
Scalability Challenges:Supporting multiple firms with varying sizes, practice areas, and IT infrastructures requires a repeatable, automated approach.

Without the right tools, MSPs risk client churn, reputational damage, and missed opportunities in the legal market.

So how can you reduce compliance prep time, thereby driving down the cost and effort of making sure your client companies are properly secured?
