The digital footprint of law firms is constantly expanding, leading to more entrances to a firm’s network infrastructure, which is a direct gateway to data. This expansion, combined with insider risks (a firm’s own staff), makes having risk-control protocols of paramount importance.

Sometimes they miss the mark, which can lead to misunderstandings, unmet expectations, and potentially dissatisfied clients who eventually take their business elsewhere. “When a firm, or any other business, has been doing things the same way for 10, 20, or 30 years — and it has worked for 10, 20, or 30 years — there are blind spots,” said Greg Pope, Vice President of Marketing at SurePrep.
