Legal Services

Protect attorney-client privilege and meet ethical obligations with identity security for law firms.

Industry Overview

Law firms hold some of the most sensitive information in any industry—merger plans, litigation strategy, trade secrets, and confidential communications protected by attorney-client privilege. State bar associations increasingly hold firms accountable for cybersecurity, and clients demand security assessments before engagement. Identity security is foundational for protecting privileged information and maintaining client trust.
