Ironclad Security for Law Firms
Attorney-client privilege makes cybersecurity exposure uniquely damaging for legal practices. When client files, M&A documents, or privileged communications surface on the dark web, it is both a security incident and a professional liability crisis.
of data breaches involved stolen credentials in 2025. For law firms, a single compromised attorney password can expose thousands of privileged client files — creating malpractice liability, regulatory sanctions, and irreversible reputational damage.
Law firms are high-value targets precisely because of the data they hold: merger and acquisition documents, litigation strategy, client financial records, intellectual property, and privileged communications. Ransomware groups specifically target legal practices knowing that the sensitivity of this data creates maximum pressure to pay. A breach doesn't just cost money — it can end client relationships, trigger bar association investigations, and destroy decades of trust.
Regulatory Compliance
Our services align with and support the regulatory frameworks that govern your industry.
Bar Association & Law Society Requirements
Legal regulators across North America — including state bar associations in the United States and provincial law societies in Canada — require lawyers to make reasonable efforts to ensure that clients' confidential information is protected. Our dark web monitoring detects when attorney credentials, client files, or privileged documents appear on criminal marketplaces — enabling rapid containment before regulatory obligations are triggered. We provide evidence documentation to support your compliance obligations.
PIPEDA & US Privacy Regulations
Federal and state privacy laws across North America require organizations handling personal information to maintain appropriate security safeguards and report breaches involving real risk of significant harm. In the United States, state-level privacy laws impose similar obligations with varying notification timelines and thresholds. Our continuous monitoring detects compromised client data — names, financial records, case information — and generates the evidence trail needed for breach assessment and regulatory notification across jurisdictions.
State & Provincial Privacy Laws
State and provincial privacy laws across North America layer additional requirements on top of federal legislation for law firms handling personal health information, financial data, and other sensitive client records. Our monitoring and reporting capabilities support compliance across multiple jurisdictions in both the United States and Canada.
How We Help
Tailored security solutions for law firms and legal services.
Client Data Protection
Continuous monitoring for leaked client files, privileged communications, M&A documents, and litigation materials across the dark web, criminal forums, and paste sites. When sensitive data surfaces, you receive an immediate alert with context — what was found, where it appeared, and the specific actions needed to contain the exposure and meet your professional obligations.
Dark Web Defense
24/7 monitoring for attorney and staff credentials circulating on underground marketplaces and stealer log databases. We detect compromised email passwords, VPN credentials, document management system logins, and session cookies that could give attackers direct access to your practice management systems — often before the affected individuals know they've been compromised.
Attack Surface Management
Continuous discovery and monitoring of your firm's internet-facing infrastructure — client portals, email gateways, VPN endpoints, and cloud-hosted document management. We identify exposed services, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities that could provide attackers with a path to your most sensitive data, and alert you with prioritized remediation guidance.
Brand & Reputation Protection
Detect phishing sites impersonating your firm, fake attorney profiles on social media, and fraudulent domains used to intercept client communications. Rapid takedown services remove impersonating content before clients are deceived or trust is compromised.
Frequently Asked Questions
If privileged communications, client files, or attorney credentials appear on the dark web, the window to contain the exposure is narrow.

Early detection gives your firm the ability to assess the scope of exposure, contain the breach, and meet your professional and regulatory obligations before the situation escalates.
