Secure, Compliant-Ready Management of Data

Law firms are well aware that mandates concerning discovery and disclosure in legal cases, such as the United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) apply to their legal activities. In addition, a growing number of regulations, state statutes and federal laws impose hefty penalties, liabilities, sanctions, and even imprisonment of legal firm management when sensitive information is compromised.

At the same time, today’s law firms are using and storing data across a growing number of endpoints. The 2008 American Bar Association Legal Technology Survey included the following findings:

• Use of laptop computers versus desktop models in law firms has jumped 14% from 2007 to 2008
• In 2008, 76% of respondents reported the availability of smartphones or Blackberries at their firms, up from 55% in 2007
• 8% of respondents report that their firms have experienced a security breach

As a result, law firms have an urgent need to protect endpoint data wherever it resides – and provide compliant-ready proof of this protection.
