Legal
Legal IT and security — ABA Model Rules aligned.
Attorney-client privilege is a security control as much as a legal one. We run managed IT and Huntress-backed cybersecurity for solo, small, and mid-size law firms with ABA Model Rules 1.6 (confidentiality) and 1.15 (safekeeping property) explicitly in scope. Document management, identity, backup, and incident response — operated as one engagement.
What we see in legal.
Shared logins and email forwarding still happen
Most privilege-jeopardizing operational issues we find aren't sophisticated attacks — they're shared admin logins, auto-forwarding rules to personal email, and stale offboarding. We close those at the identity layer.
Document management that pre-dates the cloud
Network-share-and-pray document storage doesn't meet ABA expectations or partner expectations. We integrate Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace with proper retention and DLP, or coordinate with iManage / NetDocuments where deployed.
Trust account safety + e-discovery preservation
Wire fraud against trust accounts is targeted at law firms specifically. Litigation hold and e-discovery preservation are operational controls, not a paragraph in a policy. We handle both.
Frameworks & regulatory context.
ABA Model Rules 1.6 + 1.15
Confidentiality of information and safekeeping property obligations translated into operational security controls — encryption, access management, audit logging, retention.
State bar guidance
State bar associations issue ethics opinions on cloud use, encryption, and incident notification. We align to your state's current guidance.
Huntress Managed ITDR
Identity threat detection for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace — catches account takeover and OAuth abuse, including wire-fraud precursor patterns specific to law firms.

ExploreLegal FAQ
How do you address ABA Model Rule 1.6 (confidentiality)?
By translating it into operational controls — MFA on every account, encrypted-at-rest data stores, conditional access policies, audit logging — and documenting the evidence so an ethics inquiry has answers, not guesses.
What about wire fraud targeting trust accounts?
Huntress Managed ITDR catches the identity precursors (suspicious sign-ins, OAuth consent grants, mailbox rule changes). We pair it with operational controls — verification call-backs, dual approval, segregated identities for trust accounting.
Do you support iManage or NetDocuments?
We support the operating environment around them — workstations, identity, network, security. Application administration usually stays with iManage/ND or their specialist. We make sure the surrounding environment is sound.
What about cyber insurance renewal questionnaires?
vCISO engagements answer them with evidence, support broker negotiations, and remediate gaps that carriers require. Most renewals tighten requirements year over year — this isn't optional anymore.
