Frequently Asked Questions

Do we really need dedicated cybersecurity services if we’re a small firm?

Yes. Small firms are often targeted precisely because they tend to have weaker defenses. Cybercriminals see solo and small practices as high-value, low-effort targets. Even a minor breach like compromised client emails can lead to ethics violations, malpractice claims, or reputational damage.

What kind of IT support do law firms typically need?

At minimum: secure file storage and access, reliable email and communications tools, consistent system monitoring, and support for practice-critical software. Many firms also need help with remote access, printer/scanner networks, secure client portals, and integration between billing, calendaring, and document systems.

Can we use cloud storage like Dropbox or Google Drive and still be compliant?

You can, but it depends on how it’s configured. Most consumer-grade platforms are not secure “out of the box.” You’ll need strong access controls, encryption, multi-factor authentication, and a clear policy for who can view and share files. Tools designed specifically for legal workflows typically offer these features with compliance in mind.

What does the Pennsylvania Bar expect when it comes to data security?

The PA Rules of Professional Conduct require attorneys to take “reasonable steps” to protect client information. That includes understanding the risks of the technologies you use. The PBA has issued multiple ethics opinions urging lawyers to adopt safeguards like encryption, secure cloud services, and formal cybersecurity policies.

What should we have in place in case of a breach or ransomware attack?

At a minimum: a written incident response plan, encrypted backups (that are tested), a list of emergency contacts (including your IT manager/provider), and knowledge of Pennsylvania’s breach notification requirements. Firms that handle sensitive personal data may also be required to offer credit monitoring and notify the PA Attorney General.

Is cyber insurance really necessary, and will it actually cover us?

Cyber insurance is increasingly expected by clients and may be required by some professional liability carriers. However, insurers typically require proof that you’ve implemented specific protections (like MFA, secure backups, and employee training). Without those in place, claims can be denied.

How often should we review or update our technology and security setup?

Ideally, at least once per year, sooner if you’ve experienced rapid growth, added new team members, or changed practice management tools. Many firms also do a semi-annual review tied to insurance renewals or data retention audits.
