Data Security Ethics and Best Practices for Court Reporters
Individuals and companies, small and large, often neglect to develop their security infrastructures until an attack occurs and it's too late. No one is spared from the interest of cybercriminals. Hackers are largely indiscriminate in their approach, choosing to cast a broad net to collect information and reviewing what they've plundered for value after the attack. It's not necessarily about you; it's about the numbers.
The risk is real and can happen to anyone — personally or professionally, outside or inside the legal market, including court reporters. The issue of digital security and privacy should be a paramount concern to modern court reporters just as it is to their attorney clients. Yet their biggest risk remains the same as everyone else's: believing it won't happen to them.
As guardians of the record, court reporters have access to a broad expanse of privileged and confidential information, and it is their individual responsibility to protect that data. The National Court Reporters Association Code of Professional Ethics states, “(Reporters must) preserve confidentially and ensure the security of information, oral or written, entrusted to the reporter by any parties in a proceeding.” This responsibility extends to work product transmitted or stored on their devices and any individuals employed in their professional practice (i.e., scopists and proofreaders).
