The Importance of ISO Certification for Law Firms

By Sue Pellegrino
May 01, 2022

Cybersecurity is one of the most critical issues in the business world today. Security breaches continue to grab headlines, and law firms have not been spared from the relentless efforts of hackers. Due to the massive amounts of sensitive and confidential data that law firms have in their possession, it is important to have the right security measures in place to thwart such breaches and remain successful in today's busy, data-driven legal market.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) develops and publishes widely recognized global security standards and offers security certification for businesses in nearly all sectors, including the law. ISO certification is not just a critical way to ensure your firm's security; it's increasingly important for any firm that wants to maintain a competitive advantage in today's legal market.

What ISO Certification Means and How to Obtain It

Deciding to get your ISO certification is a move that demonstrates an undeniable commitment to security. It shows your clients and others in the industry that you're serious about making sure you have the most secure atmosphere for the data you handle. It's also a sign that you're willing to take the necessary measures to have robust systems and security policies and procedures in place and also that you've implemented companywide training on them.
