Frequently Asked Questions

How do small law firms protect attorney-client privilege from cyberattacks?

Small law firms protect attorney-client privilege by securing email, enforcing multi-factor authentication, monitoring all devices continuously, and backing up client matter data. Sentinel iQ does all of this automatically, detecting threats before they compromise confidential communications or matter files, without requiring a dedicated IT team. 

What cybersecurity do small law offices need?

Small law offices need email security to stop phishing and wire fraud, endpoint protection on all devices, multi-factor authentication, Microsoft 365 backup, and dark web monitoring for leaked credentials. Sentinel iQ's platform covers every layer continuously at a predictable flat monthly cost, no reactive IT billing. 

Do law firms need to comply with cybersecurity requirements?

Yes. Bar association ethical guidelines increasingly require attorneys to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect client data. Many state bars have issued formal guidance citing specific controls including multi-factor authentication, email security, and access controls, that Sentinel iQ enforces continuously and automatically. 

How do I protect my law firm from ransomware?

Ransomware typically enters through phishing emails or unpatched software. Sentinel iQ blocks phishing at the email layer, patches all software automatically, monitors endpoint behavior for ransomware activity, and backs up your data continuously. So if an attack does occur, operations can be restored without paying a ransom.
