Safeguarding Your Intellectual Property
Documents are the lifeblood of any law firm. The documents that a firm produces are its greatest asset, yet firms historically have not made sufficient efforts to safeguard those documents from both internal and external threats.
For decades following the advent of word processing systems and continuing even into today's sophisticated document management platforms, law firms have typically had an open-door approach to document access. This means that anyone in your firm can likely access any document at any time, leaving your firm's intellectual property entirely unprotected.
With law firms featuring prominently in headline stories about cyberattacks and security breaches, the old way of doing things no longer works. Changes to document management and security have been long overdue, and the time to start implementing new procedures is now. The open-door practices of the 1990s need to be brought into the 21st century by implementing need-to-know policies that offer the security required in the present day.
