A 'Cloud Security Doctrine' for Law Firms
Cloud computing may be here to stay, but is it truly safer than the solutions that it's outmoding? The Legal Cloud Computing Association (LCCA) thinks there's a path to greater security, publishing for law firms its first “Cloud Security Doctrine.”
According to a statement announcing the doctrine's release, this “inaugural set of security standards” will aid in bringing together firms and those within the legal tech world to employ best practices and address concerns over cybersecurity “collaboratively and transparently.”'
In discussing the need for cloud security standards, Jack Newton, founder and CEO of Clio, a practice management provider and member of the LCCA, says: “Over 20 ethics opinions on cloud computing provide guidance that cloud computing is acceptable for lawyers. Every opinion refers to a 'reasonable care' standard, and it is left to the individual lawyer to perform due diligence on what exactly 'reasonable care' looks like. The LCCA wants to provide concrete guidance on what we consider a reasonable baseline for security so that lawyers, bar associations, law societies and other stakeholders have a clear set of criteria to apply to cloud computing providers that service the legal space.”
