Cyber Risk & Security Platform

Legal

Protect client confidentiality, keep your firm operating and strengthen security around the people, systems and third parties you trust.

Legal organisations hold information that clients expect to remain confidential: commercial agreements, transaction details, litigation material, personal data, intellectual property and sensitive correspondence. At the same time, lawyers and support teams need fast access to that information from offices, courts, client sites and remote locations.

That combination of valuable information, time-sensitive work and highly trusted communications makes cyber security a business issue, not simply an IT issue.

ConnectProtect brings cyber risk visibility and managed security together, helping legal firms understand what is exposed, protect endpoints, monitor important suppliers, detect suspicious activity and prioritise vulnerabilities – without requiring every security capability to be built internally.

Your firm's security perimeter
extends beyond the office

A modern legal technology environment can include:

  • Websites, domains and internet-facing services
  • Remote access and privileged administration
  • Legal technology, eDiscovery and specialist providers
  • Outsourced IT, cloud and other critical suppliers
  • Software and infrastructure vulnerabilities
  • Lawyer and employee laptops and endpoints
  • Microsoft 365, email and collaboration platforms
  • Document and practice management systems
  • Client portals and file-sharing services
  • Cloud applications and hosted infrastructure

Know how you're exposed

The legal cyber security challenges we help you address

For a law firm, a cyber incident can affect more than technology. It can interrupt matters, restrict access to documents, expose sensitive information, disrupt client communication and create difficult questions about confidentiality and trust.

Protect the confidentiality your clients rely on

Legal work depends on trusted access to sensitive information. Security therefore needs to protect the devices and systems people use while providing visibility when activity looks suspicious.

Keep the firm operating when every hour matters

Deadlines do not stop because technology is unavailable. Transactions, hearings, filings and client commitments can all depend on access to systems and information. Strong security monitoring can help identify suspicious activity earlier and support a faster response.

Choose the right product

Know what your firm
exposes to the internet

New websites, domains, cloud services, portals and remote-access infrastructure can change the firm's external footprint over time. What your IT team believes is exposed and what is actually visible from the internet are not always the same thing.

ConnectProtect® Horizon

Horizon provides Managed External Attack Surface Management (EASM), giving your organisation an outside-in view of what is visible from the internet.

  • Identify externally visible assets
  • Track changes to the external attack surface
  • Surface potential security issues
  • Prioritise findings for investigation
  • Understand what an external observer can see

Your trusted suppliers are part of your security picture

Legal firms increasingly depend on technology providers, cloud platforms, document services, eDiscovery specialists, outsourced IT, barristers' systems, consultants and other third parties. Some hold sensitive information. Others have access to systems or provide services the firm cannot easily operate without.

ConnectProtect® Realm

Realm provides continuous third-party cyber risk monitoring for selected suppliers and thirdparties, helping maintain visibility between formal reviews.

  • Monitor selected critical suppliers
  • Identify changes in external security posture
  • Prioritise third parties that need attention
  • Support supplier and procurement conversations
  • Add ongoing visibility between periodic assessments
  • Focus monitoring on dependencies that matter most

Protect the endpoints where legal work happens

Lawyers and support teams can work from offices, homes, client locations and while travelling. Their endpoints provide access to email, documents, case information and business systems, making endpoint protection a fundamental security layer.

ConnectProtect® Core

Core is a combination of security technology and people watching for threats – without your charity having to build its own security operations centre.

Core is managed endpoint security with:

  • Antivirus
  • EDR
  • anti-ransomware protection
  • 24x7x365 human SOC monitoring

Identify vulnerabilities, prioritise them and track progress.

Security monitoring without building your own SOC

Many legal firms already have security tools, an internal IT team or an outsourced technology partner. The challenge is often not buying another product - it is making sure security signals are monitored, investigated and acted on.

ConnectProtect® Unity

Unity is Managed Detection and Response (MDR) that connects supported security
technologies and adds 24x7x365 managed monitoring, investigation and response.

Where supported, Unity can work with technology already in place rather than forcing unnecessary replacement.
Your people focus on the cause. Security specialists help watch the signals.

Four connected questions for charity cyber security

Good cyber security does not have to mean dozens of disconnected tools. ConnectProtect
brings five complementary capabilities together around questions trustees, leaders and IT
teams should be able to answer.

  • ConnectProtect® Horizon

    What can an attacker see?

    Understand your external attack surface. 

  • ConnectProtect® Realm

    Which suppliers could introduce risk?

    Monitor selected third parties. 

  • ConnectProtect® Core

    Are your endpoints protected and watched?

    Add managed endpoint protection and 24x7x365 human monitoring.

  • ConnectProtect® Unity

    Would we detect suspicious security activity?

    Connect supported security technologies and add managed detection and response

Cyber security is part of protecting client trust

Clients trust legal professionals with information they may share with very few other organisations. Cyber security helps protect that trust by reducing avoidable exposure and improving the firm’s ability to identify and respond to security issues.

It can also matter commercially. Corporate clients and procurement teams may ask firms to demonstrate how they protect information, manage suppliers, monitor security and address vulnerabilities. A clearer, managed security approach can make those conversations easier to support with evidence.

Know what your industry needs.

Pick the right product for your business. With the help of ConnectProtect, we can make cyber security simple and protect you from the threats of today and tomrrow.
