How Lawyers and Law Firms Secure Sensitive Client Information

Only authorized attorneys and their staff should have access to specific case files, not the whole firm.

Challenges

Every law firm must strive to maintain the confidentiality of client information. However, with the many case and other content management systems in use, it becomes a challenge. Firms know where the information is stored, but there is no protection in place when users download and share files. There is nothing that stops an attorney, paralegal, or other staff from downloading sensitive case files and copying, printing, or sharing them with anyone inside or outside of the firm.

Solutions

The solution to protecting this information is to encrypt the data and assign dynamic access controls to client and internal documents. This limits a user’s ability to view, edit, print, take a screenshot, and share sensitive data with unauthorized users and systems both inside and outside the firm. With this you ensure that only authorized users can access your sensitive client information based on security policies that validate user access continuously.
Fasoo Enterprise DRM (FED) maintains persistent encryption of sensitive data as attorneys and other staff open, edit and share documents. Visibility is never lost, and policies are there for the life of the document. An embedded ID within the files allows you to track and manage them anywhere, know who uses them, and remotely disable access with a few clicks. Granular rights allow you to restrict what users can do with the document, while the encryption protects and travels with the file.
