Data Security And Privacy

    Overview

    Ensuring data privacy and security in legal firms

    Data privacy and security is a critical priority for legal organizations, but it's a task that can easily strain the resources of even the most efficient IT teams.

    Law firms have a vast amount of electronically stored information (ESI) in their possession, and ensuring data privacy and security is essential to protecting clients, preserving the firm's reputation and avoiding costly breaches and mismanagement.

    The challenge is in the sheer volume and variety of threats to data privacy and security. Because the data that law firms manage is often highly valuable and confidential, it is frequently the target of attacks like ransomware, spear-phishing and impersonation fraud, and robust ESI security must be deployed as protection. Law firms must also combat data leaks, where users inside the organization can accidentally or maliciously expose sensitive information. And because ESI must be produced for discovery in a timely and accurate way, law firms need retention and archiving tools that can simplify eDiscovery services.

    For organizations that want to avoid implementing a variety of point solutions to solve these challenges, Mimecast offers an all-in-one subscription service that simplifies data privacy and security for email and other digital assets.
